Tess Holliday Instagram - I never wanted to be a mom. 

I never thought about having a family, or even growing old. When I did have moments where I envisioned my future it was always Samantha from SATC, but make it fat. So much of my life was spent in survival mode, and being a young, single mom wasn’t my first, second or even third choice. 

Becoming a mom at 20 was a wild ride πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« I loved my oldest, provided for him, but emotionally showing up was a struggle. How do you care for a literal human being when you don’t know how to care for yourself? By the time Bowie came along, I felt more confident as a parent, and in who I was. Healing, age, privilege and to be honest- cannabis, has helped me be a better mom to both my boys. Forgiving myself for mistakes I wouldn’t have made if I knew better was freeing as well. 

My children live in a home where we keep no secrets, they know about consent, body autonomy, protecting Black and trans folks, and that nothing is off limits to talk about. When they look back at their childhoods, I hope they understand I did my best, and that I’m actually way cooler than they realized. πŸ₯Έ

I never wanted to be a mom, but I’m so glad I’m one ❀️ and equally as glad that I have two amazing moms! 😭

Whatever kinda mom you are, even if you are reparenting your own damn self, I’m proud of you. If you’re mourning today, I love you. Today is such a mixed bag for so many and I hope you were able to be kind to yourself whatever it looks like for you. #mothersday #latergram #forgiveness #healing

Tess Holliday Instagram - Happy 7️⃣th Birthday to my sunshine Bowie!!

Tess Holliday Instagram - When I founded @effyourbeautystandards 10 years ago, I didn’t think about what it would be like to approach 40, nor how my body and the industry would evolve. I was a bit naive, brimming with excitement and hope for a world where I could truly love myself. It’s easy to love the person you see in the mirror when you’re younger, constantly working, carefree (well, mostly), and frequently getting boosts of serotonin. But what happens when the industry you love changes, when life takes its toll, and your body no longer looks the way you remember? How do you love yourself then? When it’s quiet and you’re forced to sit with who you really are, does that love, or even like, still flow?

For the last year I’ve been really struggling with going out in public and being public facing. I found myself internalizing work looking a little different and equating that to not being worthy. I had to confront many insecurities and anxieties head-on. So many times, I caught the negative self-talk getting louder in my head and I let it take the driver’s seat. 

Everything changed a few weeks ago when I woke up one morning and thought, β€œWhat the f*** are you doing?!” I’ve been in difficult spots before, and the only way out is through. Does my life look a little different than I imagined? Yes. Does that mean it’s bad? Absolutely not. The pressure (self-induced) pushed me to get creative and make a lot of changes. It turns out, this doesn’t make me a failure; it makes me human. 

I’m so grateful to so many of you who have been on this journey with me, the ups and downs, calling me in, the love, all of it. Also, shout out to *Inside Out 2* for messing me up this last weekβ€”wrecked me! Wherever you’re at in life, whatever you’re dealing with, big or small, keep getting up, keep fighting, and don’t listen to your anxiety. Don’t let it rob you of moments with your loved ones, your community and more importantly YOURSELF. Don’t let it win. Honestly, it’s a brat girl summer, so tell it to STFU. You don’t have to love yourself to succeed, you just have to try and be a little delusional. I love you, and I love me too. #effyourbeautystandards

Tess Holliday Instagram - When I founded @effyourbeautystandards 10 years ago, I didn’t think about what it would be like to approach 40, nor how my body and the industry would evolve. I was a bit naive, brimming with excitement and hope for a world where I could truly love myself. It’s easy to love the person you see in the mirror when you’re younger, constantly working, carefree (well, mostly), and frequently getting boosts of serotonin. But what happens when the industry you love changes, when life takes its toll, and your body no longer looks the way you remember? How do you love yourself then? When it’s quiet and you’re forced to sit with who you really are, does that love, or even like, still flow?

For the last year I’ve been really struggling with going out in public and being public facing. I found myself internalizing work looking a little different and equating that to not being worthy. I had to confront many insecurities and anxieties head-on. So many times, I caught the negative self-talk getting louder in my head and I let it take the driver’s seat. 

Everything changed a few weeks ago when I woke up one morning and thought, β€œWhat the f*** are you doing?!” I’ve been in difficult spots before, and the only way out is through. Does my life look a little different than I imagined? Yes. Does that mean it’s bad? Absolutely not. The pressure (self-induced) pushed me to get creative and make a lot of changes. It turns out, this doesn’t make me a failure; it makes me human. 

I’m so grateful to so many of you who have been on this journey with me, the ups and downs, calling me in, the love, all of it. Also, shout out to *Inside Out 2* for messing me up this last weekβ€”wrecked me! Wherever you’re at in life, whatever you’re dealing with, big or small, keep getting up, keep fighting, and don’t listen to your anxiety. Don’t let it rob you of moments with your loved ones, your community and more importantly YOURSELF. Don’t let it win. Honestly, it’s a brat girl summer, so tell it to STFU. You don’t have to love yourself to succeed, you just have to try and be a little delusional. I love you, and I love me too. #effyourbeautystandards

Tess Holliday Instagram - Y’all I have so much to say & so much to post about my trip in Italy with @stellavisiontravel πŸ₯Ή but in the meantime I’m trying to stay in the moment and soak it all in. You can get some sneak peeks on @stellavisiontravel & even if you don’t go on a  tour like this with them, have Zoe plan your private trip & go to my new favorite places like this farmhouse hotel outside of the ancient city of Matera to my new bestie 🫏 and pose in the sun outside an old chapel (no longer used for religious purposes)

Tess Holliday - 51.7K Likes - I never wanted to be a mom. 

I never thought about having a family, or even growing old. When I did have moments where I envisioned my future it was always Samantha from SATC, but make it fat. So much of my life was spent in survival mode, and being a young, single mom wasn’t my first, second or even third choice. 

Becoming a mom at 20 was a wild ride πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« I loved my oldest, provided for him, but emotionally showing up was a struggle. How do you care for a literal human being when you don’t know how to care for yourself? By the time Bowie came along, I felt more confident as a parent, and in who I was. Healing, age, privilege and to be honest- cannabis, has helped me be a better mom to both my boys. Forgiving myself for mistakes I wouldn’t have made if I knew better was freeing as well. 

My children live in a home where we keep no secrets, they know about consent, body autonomy, protecting Black and trans folks, and that nothing is off limits to talk about. When they look back at their childhoods, I hope they understand I did my best, and that I’m actually way cooler than they realized. πŸ₯Έ

I never wanted to be a mom, but I’m so glad I’m one ❀️ and equally as glad that I have two amazing moms! 😭

Whatever kinda mom you are, even if you are reparenting your own damn self, I’m proud of you. If you’re mourning today, I love you. Today is such a mixed bag for so many and I hope you were able to be kind to yourself whatever it looks like for you. #mothersday #latergram #forgiveness #healing

Healing, age, privilege and to be honest- cannabis, has helped me be a better mom to both my boys. Forgiving myself for mistakes I wouldn’t have made if I knew better was freeing as well. My children live in a home where we keep no secrets, they know about consent, body autonomy, protecting Black and trans folks, and that nothing is off limits to talk about. When they look back at their childhoods, I hope they understand I did my best, and that I’m actually way cooler than they realized. πŸ₯Έ I never wanted to be a mom, but I’m so glad I’m one ❀️ and equally as glad that I have two amazing moms! 😭 Whatever kinda mom you are, even if you are reparenting your own damn self, I’m proud of you. If you’re mourning today, I love you. Today is such a mixed bag for so many and I hope you were able to be kind to yourself whatever it looks like for you. #mothersday #latergram #forgiveness #healing

Tess Holliday - 51.7K Likes - I never wanted to be a mom. 

I never thought about having a family, or even growing old. When I did have moments where I envisioned my future it was always Samantha from SATC, but make it fat. So much of my life was spent in survival mode, and being a young, single mom wasn’t my first, second or even third choice.

Tess Holliday - 3 Likes - When I founded @effyourbeautystandards 10 years ago, I didn’t think about what it would be like to approach 40, nor how my body and the industry would evolve. I was a bit naive, brimming with excitement and hope for a world where I could truly love myself. It’s easy to love the person you see in the mirror when you’re younger, constantly working, carefree (well, mostly), and frequently getting boosts of serotonin. But what happens when the industry you love changes, when life takes its toll, and your body no longer looks the way you remember? How do you love yourself then? When it’s quiet and you’re forced to sit with who you really are, does that love, or even like, still flow?

For the last year I’ve been really struggling with going out in public and being public facing. I found myself internalizing work looking a little different and equating that to not being worthy. I had to confront many insecurities and anxieties head-on. So many times, I caught the negative self-talk getting louder in my head and I let it take the driver’s seat. 

Everything changed a few weeks ago when I woke up one morning and thought, β€œWhat the f*** are you doing?!” I’ve been in difficult spots before, and the only way out is through. Does my life look a little different than I imagined? Yes. Does that mean it’s bad? Absolutely not. The pressure (self-induced) pushed me to get creative and make a lot of changes. It turns out, this doesn’t make me a failure; it makes me human. 

I’m so grateful to so many of you who have been on this journey with me, the ups and downs, calling me in, the love, all of it. Also, shout out to *Inside Out 2* for messing me up this last weekβ€”wrecked me! Wherever you’re at in life, whatever you’re dealing with, big or small, keep getting up, keep fighting, and don’t listen to your anxiety. Don’t let it rob you of moments with your loved ones, your community and more importantly YOURSELF. Don’t let it win. Honestly, it’s a brat girl summer, so tell it to STFU. You don’t have to love yourself to succeed, you just have to try and be a little delusional. I love you, and I love me too. #effyourbeautystandards

Everything changed a few weeks ago when I woke up one morning and thought, β€œWhat the f*** are you doing?!” I’ve been in difficult spots before, and the only way out is through. Does my life look a little different than I imagined? Yes. Does that mean it’s bad? Absolutely not. The pressure (self-induced) pushed me to get creative and make a lot of changes. It turns out, this doesn’t make me a failure; it makes me human. I’m so grateful to so many of you who have been on this journey with me, the ups and downs, calling me in, the love, all of it. Also, shout out to *Inside Out 2* for messing me up this last weekβ€”wrecked me! Wherever you’re at in life, whatever you’re dealing with, big or small, keep getting up, keep fighting, and don’t listen to your anxiety. Don’t let it rob you of moments with your loved ones, your community and more importantly YOURSELF. Don’t let it win. Honestly, it’s a brat girl summer, so tell it to STFU. You don’t have to love yourself to succeed, you just have to try and be a little delusional. I love you, and I love me too. #effyourbeautystandards

I was a bit naive, brimming with excitement and hope for a world where I could truly love myself. It’s easy to love the person you see in the mirror when you’re younger, constantly working, carefree (well, mostly), and frequently getting boosts of serotonin. But what happens when the industry you love changes, when life takes its toll, and your body no longer looks the way you remember? How do you love yourself then? When it’s quiet and you’re forced to sit with who you really are, does that love, or even like, still flow?

You can get some sneak peeks on @stellavisiontravel & even if you don’t go on a  tour like this with them, have Zoe plan your private trip & go to my new favorite places like this farmhouse hotel outside of the ancient city of Matera to my new bestie 🫏 and pose in the sun outside an old chapel (no longer used for religious purposes)

@photosbyallegra is our tour photographer! (Every @stellavisiontravel tour has one!)
