Empowered and Unapologetic

Spread the love

I always knew I wanted a career that celebrated self-expression, and modeling became that outlet for me. My husband, Jake, initially seemed fine with it—until he saw the bikini shoots. He’d say he was “protective” but really, he was just insecure. I’d share my excitement over new bookings, but he’d respond with hurtful comments about how my career made him uncomfortable. I tried to reassure him, explaining that modeling was about feeling strong and independent, not about seeking attention.

Things hit a breaking point when I landed a major campaign, and Jake told me he couldn’t “stand the thought” of me in those photos. That was it for me. I realized he wasn’t interested in seeing me thrive. He only wanted to control my choices.

After five years, I walked away, choosing my own happiness over his jealousy. Since then, I’ve grown stronger and more confident. Leaving him was difficult, but it was the best decision I made to keep pursuing my dreams, free from someone else’s insecurities.
