Finding Your Style After Kids (So You Don't Have to Stress About What to Pack for Trips!)

Travel with Kids

02/12/25 • 49 min

Honestly, I'm a little nervous about publishing this episode because I talk about my experience with body image and weight loss - and sometimes that can feel like a taboo subject!

But keep in mind these are all MY personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

I'm chatting about how body image and budget can be a struggle in your quest to rediscover your style after having kids, and how that can make things like packing for a trip and taking photos on vacation much harder.

When you stock up your wardrobe with basics that you KNOW fit your body and are comfortable to wear, it makes experimenting with style so much easier. And it makes packing for a trip feel easier, too!
