Sexy Is a Vibe ✨ My Conversation on the Embody Your Empress Podcast
Embracing Sexy on Your Own Terms: My Interview on Embody Your Empress
I had such an inspiring time joining Sarah on the Embody Your Empress podcast! 🎙️ We talked about one of my favorite subjects: what it really means to step into your sexy. Spoiler alert—it has nothing to do with size, age, or fitting into someone else’s definition of beauty.
For years, I believed that being “sexy” was reserved for women who looked a certain way. Tall, slim, flawless skin, long legs—the kind of beauty we’re taught to admire in magazines or on TV. But through my own journey and after photographing more than 2,000 women at Chicago Boudoir Photography, I’ve learned something powerful: sexy is not a size… sexy is a vibe. ✨
What We Talked About
This conversation with Sarah went deep into how boudoir photography can shift the way women see themselves. Here are a few of the highlights:
✨ Breaking out of the “good girl” box and redefining sexy on your own terms
👑 Why sexy isn’t a size (and why confidence is the real secret)
🔥 Boudoir as a sacred, transformative experience that helps women reconnect with their bodies
💕 My personal story—from self-doubt and body negativity to a place of embodied confidence
📸 Tips you can try right now—like self-timer photo magic, practicing self-love, and shifting from body negativity to body neutrality
Why This Matters
Boudoir photography is so much more than lingerie and pretty pictures. It’s about creating a space where women can step outside of expectations, reconnect with their authentic selves, and feel worthy, powerful, and radiant.
Over and over again, I’ve seen women walk into my boudoir studio near Chicago, feeling nervous, unsure, or even self-critical. But by the end of their session, they’re glowing. They stand taller. They see themselves the way their friends and loved ones already do—beautiful, magnetic, and unapologetically themselves.
That’s why I call boudoir an empowering experience, not just a photoshoot. It’s a celebration of your body, your journey, and your vibe.
Sexy Is for Every Woman
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that sexy belongs to everyone. Whether you’re 25 or 65, curvy or petite, newly single or married for decades, your sexy is already inside you. My job as a boudoir photographer is simply to help you see it and celebrate it.
If you’ve ever wondered whether boudoir photography is for you, the answer is YES. I’ve photographed women of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds, and every single one has discovered something new about themselves in the process.
