Two weeks after my 13th birthday, my Mum died from breast cancer. That loss shook my world. When my Dad remarried eighteen months later, I hoped for an ally; instead, I became a target. My stepmother’s cruel comments about my body, particularly about my thighs, destroyed whatever confidence I had. I became convinced I had to be thin to look good, which sent me into a spiral of diets, obsessive gym sessions, and, eventually, getting sick with anorexia and bulimmia.
Even after achieving what I thought was a “better” body, getting dressed was still a daily battle – clothes all over the bed, impulse buys I regretted, and a constant voice telling me I had it all wrong.
It wasn’t until years later, when my husband suggested I see a stylist, that something shifted. She helped me understand my body shape and showed me styles that worked with it rather than against it. For the first time, I looked in the mirror and didn’t see a short, fat woman staring back – I saw someone stylish, put-together, and yes, a little bit sexy. My confidence grew, and I’ve never looked back.
I was so impressed by how that one session made me feel that I studied personal styling and became a stylist myself.
