The other day Ruby and I were talking about clothes, and I said something to her that I hope she remembers for the rest of her life.
If something doesn’t feel right on your body, it’s the clothes that are the problem—not the body.
So then…
You fix the clothes. Not the body. 💜
Our bodies are living, breathing things.
They change with hormones.
They change with stress.
They change with healing.
They change with seasons.
They change through motherhood, perimenopause, grief, joy… and sometimes from one day to the next.
Clothes don’t.
Yet somehow we’ve been taught that if our jeans don’t fit, our body has failed.
No.
Maybe the jeans are the wrong size.
Maybe they’re the wrong cut.
Maybe they’ve simply reached the end of their season in your life.
But I also want to add something important…
There’s a difference between honouring your body’s natural changes and noticing when your body is trying to tell you something.
A body that feels off deserves curiosity—not criticism.
Over the past few months I experienced persistent weight gain around my midsection despite eating well and staying active. It wasn’t about how I looked—it was that I didn’t feel like myself.
So instead of fighting my body…
I listened.
I learned that perimenopause had changed the rules, made some changes to support my hormones, nervous system and metabolism, and as a beautiful by-product my body has started releasing that stubborn belly fat.
Not because I punished it.
Because I supported it.
✨ That’s what I teach inside The Radiant Woman Collective.
Not how to shrink your body.
How to understand it.
How to work with it instead of against it.
Because radiance isn’t about becoming smaller.
It’s about feeling at home in your own skin.
So buy the bigger jeans.
Tailor the dress.
Donate the clothes that no longer fit.
Wear the swimsuit.
Take up space.
And if your body is asking for support…
Listen to it. Don’t fight it.
Because your body isn’t the problem.
It’s your home. 💜
