If someone would have told me that I would not only be teaching about self-love and acceptance, but also living a life today filled with healthy relationships, an incredible marriage, unconditional self-love, freedom, peace, joy, abundance, trust, and pure appreciation, I would never have believed it. In fact, where I started is so far removed from where am I now that when I look at pictures of me from that time—while I have so much love for that girl—she seems like a shadow of the me I know so intimately today.
