Just So You Know....

01

Lydia is 5, and the inspiration for everything I do.
My goal is for her to grow up free of body image issues, knowing that she can achieve any goal she has.

#JUSTWEARTHESUIT
Just Wear the Suit is an Instagram Community I launched to encourage women to shed inhibitions and to celebrate their beauty just as they are. Join our movement and show the world that every body is a bathing suit body!

We LOVE Disney... ALOT!
We are Disneyland Annual Passholders, and love sharing tips and tricks for your family trips. We believe in Disney magic, pixie dust, and that dreams really do come true.

So Who Am I?

I’m a former inner city elementary school teacher married to a professional musician living in Southern California and chasing our dreams with reckless abandon.  I believe that hard work pays off, that community is more important that competition, and that women are stronger together.  I know that society tells us that there is one form of beauty, and I’m here to tell my daughter (and yours) that that isn’t the truth.  We lead by example, and I’m setting my own insecurities aside to be a role model to the future world leader living in my house.

I’m a public speaker, a community builder, a bathing suit collector, a body positivity influencer, a blogger, a writer and a truth teller.  

My Goal?

Is to connect with other women who want to empower their daughters.

Around here we break down barriers, smash glass ceilings and wear bathing suits without filters, airbrushing or fakeness.  Real is beautiful and so are you.
