Moments #61 - Why I No Longer Tie My Confidence To How I Look — On Motherhood, Image and Self Worth - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)19 Aug14 min

<p>Pre-mum me wore heels a lot because I tied a significant part of how I felt about myself to how dressed up I was.</p><p>Motherhood changed that. First out of necessity then out of choice.</p><p>Jumpsuits, trainers, and somewhere across 3 to 5 years of motherhood the casual dressing stopped feeling like a compromise and started feeling like exactly enough.</p><p>But there is more to it than just the clothes.</p><p>In this episode:<br>→ The jumpsuit era — optimising to get out of the house with two small children and how that accidentally started everything<br>→ Why living in a social media vacuum has been one of the most quietly powerful things for my confidence<br>→ What happens when you stop comparing and start actually liking yourself<br>→ Why confidence that is not dependent on what you are wearing is a different kind of confidence entirely<br>→ What I want my daughter to observe — it is good to look your best, but do not lose yourself in the process</p><p>It started out of necessity and somewhere in between I found a version of confidence I did not know I was missing.</p>
