Being a part of the lymphedema community has truly been life-changing for me.
Until I started my journey on Instagram, I didn’t know anyone else who suffered from this condition.
If I’m being honest, NO!
Social media can be such a complicated space, but my core community and mission never waver.
I’m obsessed with your Take Up Space merch.
What was your journey toward creating your own clothing designs and drawings with body-positive messaging?
All of my designs are inspired by lessons or daily affirmations that have helped me along my journey.
Take Up Space has been one of my favorites to work on.
Each summer, I have updated the bodies to try and incorporate more and more beautiful babes!
The days of restrictive shapewear are over!
Or at least they should be.
Shapermint products are comfortable and supportive and are the only shapewear products I have ever worn.
Those days are over!
My hope is that you have a great doctor, but most of us do not have that experience.
There are great online groups on Facebook and Instagram that are super supportive and helpful.
Sharing my struggles with mental health has certainly become a large part of my platform.
You’ve also talked about implementing low-impact exercise and lifestyle changes to manage your lymphedema.
Unfortunately, I still have struggled to find solid support from a medical professional in regard to lymphedema.
The most useful management tools have come from my own research and the support from the online community.
Everyone’s journey is different, but we can all benefit from learning from one another.
