As a valued Brand Ambassador and a key member of the Shapermint Crew, what inspired you to join this journey with us?
I was drawn to the community and how it allows you to show up as your true, authentic self, creating a sisterhood blending a diverse group of women from all walks of life being able to bond over body positivity and bringing out their boldness and confidence.
What do you enjoy the most about being part of the Shapermint Crew?
I enjoy showing the everyday woman that she can be confident no matter what she wears. Whether she’s headed to the gym, running into a board meeting, or visiting with her girls for a cup of coffee, she can always look and feel her best.
What does self-love mean to you, and how do you practice it in your daily routine?
Self-love comes from deep within. No matter what others say or how they perceive you, you are comfortable in your own skin. You treat yourself with the utmost care and you are the first person you hear so be kind to yourself and speak only uplifting and encouraging words. Even when things don’t work out, you seek out something positive from the experience. I practice speaking positively to myself and looking at myself in the mirror. I have a whole audience in my head so whether I have small or big wins I celebrate applauding myself and reaffirming that “I AM THAT GIRL!”
How do you balance self-care with the demands of your career?
That’s tough! As a stay-at-home Mom who is currently seeking to go back into the full-time workforce, it can be very challenging when you have so many demands to meet especially as a Wife & Mom. I make it a non-negotiable to carve out time for me before or after my children and husband get up. That’s right, husband too lol. I know once I add a full-time job to the agenda then I will probably go back to taking short trips after work like to the dollar store or maybe shopping at one of my favorite thrift stores because now I am on my time so I can take things slower and move at my own pace.
What advice would you give to someone struggling with body confidence and self-acceptance?
It took me time to love the skin I’m in. It became even more challenging after bearing my beautiful children. But you know what, when I look at myself in the mirror and see those certain areas I am less flattered about I don’t focus on them. Overall, I look at what my body has accomplished. Multiple births, even multiple knee surgeries. The scars are deep but it reminds me how resilient my body is.
Don’t focus on the flaws, find at least one thing you’re grateful for in your body and cherish it. Surround yourself with positivity. Set realistic goals focusing on your health and well-being.
How has Shapermint contributed to your journey toward self-love and body confidence?
Shapermint has played a pivotal role in my journey toward self-love and body confidence. By providing inclusive and diverse sizing options, their products have allowed me to embrace my body as it is, helping me feel more comfortable and empowered in my own skin.
How have Shapermint’s products influenced your daily life and professional image?
Shapermint’s products have significantly influenced my daily life and professional image. The comfort and support they offer allow me to focus on my work without being distracted by discomfort. Feeling confident in what I wear enhances my professional presence especially when attending meetings or events.
How has being a Shapermint ambassador helped you connect more deeply with your audience?
Wow, I have been amazed that my audience has been so receptive and engaging with my Shapermint content. I’ve had women message me and say “ I need that” or “I love those!” Being an ambassador for Shapermint has shown me that most women want to see changes in their bodies; so, to have a shapewear that compliments your body without having to spend a ton of money and can give you the ideal body is truly special to me. Being able to show my audience a natural body with flaws and all and how Shapermint has helped improve it for the better is a great feeling. Not everyone feels comfortable getting on a platform and revealing their flaws but the outpouring of love and encouragement from my audience has helped make this a worthwhile journey.
What message do you aim to share with your followers through your partnership with Shapermint?
Whether your body has endured given birth, surgeries, or any natural changes, always love yourself. Your body has a story to tell. Be kind to it. We don’t realize how resilient our bodies are until something traumatic happens. Take care of your body and your mental health and it will take care of you.
Which Shapermint product makes you feel empowered to celebrate your shape, and how do you like to style it?
My favorite piece is the Long Sleeve Bodysuit. It gives me a sleek, polished look and makes me feel more put together and toned. I love styling it with jeans and flats for a timeless outfit that works perfectly for almost any occasion.
