By Christine MacDonald
Former stripper and magical word wrangler Christine MacDonald is currently penning her memoir, Pour Some Sugar on Me: Tales of an Ex-Stripper and we at Girl Body Pride cannot wait to get our paws on it. Read on for Christine’s take on Other People’s Opinions and an excerpt from her book.
You’re Welcome.
I’m working hard on the book and wanted to share a little piece that I think translates far beyond the tip stage.
Walking away from the stripping world was just the beginning in a life-long journey to find my worth.
I’m still learning.
But you don’t need a history of dancing naked on stage, addiction or abuse to come full circle. Every one of us has a story.
This is the part where you tell me – what was something you did that made yourself believe you were worthy of love and belonging?
How do you find your worth?
