My bush is the reason I haven’t gone swimming in 6 months. (Yes, we’re starting there. Buckle up.)
I haven’t gone swimming in months.
Not because I’m busy.
Not because I forgot.
But because… I didn’t shave my bush.
Yup. That’s it.
My overgrown lady jungle is out here blocking my joy.
And I let it.
There’s a pool five minutes from my house.
Swimming is literal therapy for my 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭.
Water gets me in flow — literally and figuratively.
And still… I’ve been sitting here like:
“Hmm… can’t go yet. I’m not ready.”
Translation?
I’m not perfectly groomed.
Not totally prepped.
Not fully “presentable.”
Sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud.
But I know I’m not the only one.
We all do this — just with different excuses:
🖥️ “I’ll launch when the site’s done.”
🧍♀️ “I’ll go live when I lose 10 pounds.”
📦 “I’ll pitch once the offer’s perfect.”
🧠 “I’ll show up when I’ve healed that last trauma.”
Let me say it louder:
Your bush is not the problem.
Your thighs are not the problem.
Your half-finished backend is not the problem.
✨ Your nervous system is just scared of being seen.
You’ve been trained to believe:
⚠️ It’s not safe to be visible unless you’re polished, edited, and 10 steps ahead.
But the truth?
🌊 The water doesn’t care if you shaved.
🪄 Your dream clients don’t care if your branding is 100% cohesive.
🔮 Your purpose doesn’t care if you’ve “healed enough.”
It just wants you to get in the damn pool.
So here’s your nudge — and mine:
🩱 Put on the suit.
🚶♀️ Walk to the pool.
💥 Do the scary thing before you feel “ready.”
Because if you wait until everything’s smooth, shiny, and perfect…
You’ll miss the whole damn point of being alive.
