I am 53

Lai is one of my 10 Brand Ambassadors 2020. Her boudoir session took place in the Thomson Suite in Ovolo Inchcolm hotel in Brisbane.

“As a life coach I have the privilege to work alongside many women in particular, that present with low self-esteem and self-worth, these are only some of the limiting beliefs that is very common for many of us to carry around throughout our lives. This opportunity to become an ambassador was to inspire others to let go of fears and insecurities that typically are created by the unconscious mind and only serve to hold us back from living the future we imagine.

I’m 53, I have emotional and physical scars, I have wrinkles and marks on my body, and there are other parts of myself that I have learned to accept as a part of my life story, I may not like to have them however acceptance is the key to liberation.

When the time came to do the photo shoot there was some trepidation, insecurities and doubts that presented themselves, however this is an incredible opportunity to take that vulnerability and ask yourself are these feeling and thoughts about myself the truth or is this something that I have created to be true? When you can let go and be present with Marina and truly tap into your heart and authenticity all of a sudden these old fears and insecurities start to release their hold on you and you begin to embrace the freedom of what it is to be your true self, no barriers, no expectations just you in your beautiful unique rawness.

When I saw my photos after the shoot I had quite a few “wows’” and actually found it challenging to pick my favourites. I was very impressed with the photos because they captured me being playful, sensual, feminine, free, strong, happy and a wonderful sense of empowerment. I can honestly say to you who is reading this narrative from me that the moment you step in front of the camera with Marina’s guidance and experience you will begin to explore a beautiful side of yourself, grow in confidence and feel proud to be unapologetically yourself. Would I do it again…..unequivocally yes….and I will be later this year.

If you feel nervous then perhaps you need to jump right in and do this with Marina behind the camera because Marina will work with you, make you very comfortable throughout the whole experience so that you will become more of who you really are and love it!!!

My final tip, relax, trust the process, and remember old fears cannot see new things, perhaps it’s time to let old fears and insecurities go and create a new happier you.” Lai
