Kaitlyn interviews her friend and neighbor Connie AKA Constance and throughout the episode they talk about motherhood, body acceptance, and also Constance's amazing business of boudoir photography. 

Kaitlyn and Constance's conversation includes many things including transitions and transformation of life, business, and motherhood. You get to hear why Connie was such a good neighbor to Kait when her first son Jack was born. Connie gives background on how she completely transformed her life and started a new business shortly after experiencing postpartum anxiety and having her own boudoir session. They cover MANY of the common misconceptions of boudoir photography and how Constance thoughtfully designed her process and business with her clients in mind.

The women talk about the importance of taking up more space and getting out of our comfort zones. We cover how Connie developed "thick skin babe" to get over family dynamics and people pleasing tendencies to live the life she wants and also to have her dream business. You also get to hear why Connie loves mentorship and empowerment.

Takeaways:

  • Body acceptance or neutrality is a key step of learning to love your body or even making changes
  • The moment you decide you deserve more is when you deserve more
  • You do NOT need permission from others to live the life you imagined, but make sure you have people in your corner that ARE cheering you on
  • You have to say "no" to things to be able to say "yes" to other things
  • Trust yourself in Motherhood
