Loving a Broken Body
Hello Dazzle! Thanks for coming and hanging out with me today, I’m glad that you are here. Today I want to talk about how I reached a point of acceptance and love for my body that doesn’t work the way that it is supposed to.

Hello Dazzle! Thanks for coming and hanging out with me today, I’m glad that you are here. Today I just wanted to touch base and give a little update as to how things have been going in my life.

It was a year that was filled with confusion and uncertainty. A year that has brought a great deal of change into my life. Some of that change has been really good and some has been really difficult. At the end of the year, in December, I took a leap of faith and I left bedside nursing to work full time as Zebra Pig. It has been about a month now. So, what has a month of full time as Zebra Pig been like?

Hello Dazzle! Thanks for coming and hanging out with me today, I’m glad that you are here. Today, I want to give you a bit of a life update as well as talk about some of the bigger things that have been going on. Let’s start with the fact that I am not ok and my solution is that I am going to take a leap of faith. It is terrifying, but I know that things are not sustainable as they are. Which means that now must become a time of change, whether I want it or not.
