Playlist - Personal Development
Shit happens, and we all want to improve ourselves. The personal development part of FemStrong is where I talk about the fears, shame, vulnerabilities, low self-esteem, habits, and patterns that hold me back from being my best self. Maybe you feel it too.

Anxiety is Such a Bitch
March 27th at around 1pm, my dad walked in the door of our photography studio and said this: “You know the strangest thing just happened to me…” I don’t know why. Maybe it was the tone in his voice, but I just knew something was wrong. Long and super depressing story short, we went...
Fairy Tales are Overrated
Once upon a time…there was a girl named Madison. <–That’s me. Madison found her prince charming, and they lived “happily” ever after. Until two years later, when his voice saying, “I’m just not attracted to you” kept playing on repeat in her brain...
