Three Questions With Bethany Hamilton
A few weeks ago I was invited by Damon Braces (Bethany is a spokesperson!) to a SurfSet Fitness class to “surf” with arguably the world’s best female surfer, Bethany Hamilton. You probably know Bethany as the pretty blonde surfer girl who survived a 2003 shark attack that took her arm, but that didn’t stop her from winning several world champion surf competitions (you probably also know about the movie based on her life, Soul Surfer – a.k.a my guilty pleasure movie- but that’s a different story).

Who are you calling fat?
If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw this post awhile back where I shared that I got my very first print story published (!) in the May issue of Cosmopolitan! Writing this story for me was an amazing experience both professionally and emotionally. For one, I feel honored to have been able to share my thoughts and story on such an important topic (self esteem and body image) and two, writing it was a sort of release of the whole thing for me. Almost like a cathartic goodbye to all the bullshit I used to put myself through in the name of having a “perfect” LA body.
