Hey friends! I was planning on making a little video, but have been super busy and tired lately. Lots of amazing things going on behind the scenes over here. But here's my big news!
I'm so pleased to announce that my partner and I will be welcoming a new member to the family in just a few months 💛
If you've been around a while, you may know that I had given up on ever being able to access fertility care. After having it denied to me due to my BMI - multiple times - I figured it wasn't going to happen.
But we tried one last time and we were able to get pregnant. This hasn't been easy, and I never talk about these things here...or really anywhere. But know that I see each and every one of you who has tried, who wants to try, who doesn't feel like they can try, and who has lost. Your body knows life.
I didn't want kids for most of my life and was totally on the child free train! Then I changed my mind, as we're allowed to do. 🤪🤪🤪
So here I am - 41, fat, diabetic, PCOS, and 24 weeks pregnant. Feeling pretty good and ready to meet this bb when it's time.
Just wanted to share the news with you so you know what I'm up to over here!

Hey friends!!!
I'm starting to feel like I might have the capacity to make videos again, although probably not as frequently as I used to. I'm wondering what kind of videos you'd like to see from me, so please take the poll and let me know!

Hi friends! Thank you so much to everyone who is reaching out to check on me. I'm doing well! I'm taking a little break from YT - officially. I know I kept saying that I would be back to making videos soon, but I was just kicking the can along the road instead of actually taking a break.
I think I'll be back and ready to make videos in the fall. This summer I have a few fun projects to work on like making over my office, preparing for the launch of my book in August, and prepping for hosting two retreats this fall. There's lots to do and while I wish I could do everything right now, I know I can't. Errr, I know I can't do it all well, that is.
I miss my YT fam! If you want to stay in touch and connected while I'm taking this break you can follow me on IG, www.instagram.com/radicalbodylove/. Or come join the community over on Patreon to get access to the FB group where we connect and have fun together! www.patreon.com/radicalbodylove

Have you watched my latest Trunk Club video? I exchanged the 4x Leith sweater so it would fit smaller on me and I love how it fits in the 2x, seen here. I could have gone down to a 1x and still had tons of room. Great news for those larger than a 4x! You can totally wear this :)
Haven't watched yet? Go check it out! ---> https://youtu.be/RtQQGujgv4w
Want this sweater also? Find it on the Nordstrom website here ---> go.magik.ly/ml/140vf/

I've been stalking this BP cardigan since I got it in a trunk a couple of months ago, and it's finally on sale! Just FYI in case you liked it as much as I did, but didn't want to pay full price. go.magik.ly/ml/13eht/

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I just got my preview for my August Trunk Club and didn't remove anything! The person I got this time seems to have listened to my feedback and only sent clothing in my size and added accessories to fill the other spots. I'm cautiously optimistic!

Y'all! I filmed a new Trunk Club video yesterday and was excited to edit and post it and then disaster! There's something wrong with my SD card and I don't know if I'll be able to get the footage off of it. I can't refilm because the trunk has already been picked up. Send me good tech vibes! This month's video may just be me telling you about how it went, lol.
