Let me start by say I love my life.

And I love my 6 kids.

But being pregnant or nursing for the last 15 see years has taken so much more out of me than I realized.

Mentally, physically, the whole kit and kaboodle, and the really weird part?!

I didn’t even realize I had lost so much of myself.

People are calling it “getting their pink back”, like how a flamingo loses their pink when they have a baby, but get it back as the baby grows and needs them less and less.

It’s NO secret that my body looks completely different. And for a ballet trained, dancer and dance instructor (who has suffered from a history of ED) that was something I tried to hide away from the world.

Until last March. I did a class online with Attagirl Media, and there was a challenge. “Post everyday for 100 days” and see how your social media grows.

Now it’s not a secret that I loved blogging. And it’s even less of a secret that I dream of making it a full time career.

Except now it’s called “influencing” and I can’t hide behind a keyboard.

So I decided to try it.

And guess what?! It’s given me SO much more than new followers.

It’s made me feel myself again.

As a person who craves community and fun, social media has always been an awesome outlet and a place where I’ve met some of the most amazing people.

People who didn’t care that I’ve changed appearance a bit, or that my body shows the wear and tear of 6 kids.

So I’m back. And finally feeling Pinker than ever.
