The pressure – induced solely by me – to be beach-bod ready, look great in photos and smell good (LOL) is insane when I say it out loud, yet remains a real behavior I am guilty of engaging in.
Having a beach bod is not having Kim Kardashian’s, Bahati’s, Ashley Graham’s or even my body at the beach.
This particular trip was on the heels of a business trip to Los Angeles, which was on the heels of a the SheLift Mother + Daughter Ski Retreat, on the heels of a trip to Kenya, on the heels of a trip to Todos Santos for the SheLift Escape, on the heels of winter.
I knew I’d feel confident surfing in this suit as it gave me lots of movement security and didn’t feel like it’d come ripping off in a wave.
