Can My Awkward 7th Grade Photo Reveal Your True Beauty?

Dressing Your Truth

The sad story behind this picture is far too common…

I scratched it out of my seventh-grade yearbook because I truly believed I was ugly.

I wasn’t ugly (wait ’til you see my after picture!), but that lie became embedded in my consciousness for decades—much longer than it ever should have.

It’s a pretty typical experience, and very sad. But I didn’t stay there.

During my many years as an alternative psychotherapist, I’ve seen firsthand the deep wounds that women experience because of their teenage beauty experiences and continual battles with their looks, weight, and self-acceptance.

I’ve met women who continue to feel like I did back then. And that’s just not right!

After seeing that my earlier painful experience was the norm for so many women, I was sure of two things:

1. How we feel about our outer appearance strongly influences our inner peace and confidence.

2. Women can’t all be as ugly as they feel they are.

The problem isn’t women!

So, what’s the real problem?

I’ve identified 7 Fashion Dilemmas that can keep women feeling stuck and ugly.

If you’re lost or getting by in any of these 7 areas, you can experience self-doubt, struggles with your weight, and emotional issues that affect every area of your life.

Which brings me to the quiz I’ve recently developed.
