“I was able to shift how I was believing and behaving, which then created the freedom for people to love me the way they wanted to love me. And isn’t that the best gift? When we go through this journey of self-awareness and change, and trying to become our biggest, best, brightest selves – it can be a very tedious journey. It can feel like it doesn't end because it doesn’t. It can feel like there's constant friction. But the gift in it is: the more we can learn about ourselves, the more we can shift within ourselves so that we become more open, we become more vulnerable. It provides freedom for the people around us to engage with us in a way that feels meaningful for them. Rather than trying to fit a mould of what we have for expectation.”

“What else is needed? What else is wanting to shift, wanting to open up? I can feel myself really leaning into my wisdom. I feel like the last 18 years in business has taught me one thing repetitively — and that is: the timing is not my own. Those people who are very close to me hear me make jokes all the time that time doesn’t exist. Because I want to fall into the trap of controlling time. Which we can’t — we can’t f*cking control anything. We’re always in relationship with things, we’re not controlling them. And so I have been up and down and around and around about making sure that I’m not forcing this into my own timing. Because if I do (and I know this because it’s happened before) I will force it into something that is not what I want longterm. And inevitably, I will end up regretting something about it, or something will have to shift and there will be big chaos coming. I’m not a doomsday person, but let me tell you — this is exactly what happens.”

“One of the things I’ve always said is: please don’t stop doing life in the body you have right now. It is fine that you might want to change it. I am not going to tell you that you should love your body right now, I’m not telling you that your body is perfect right now because that is up to you. But – keep doing life in the body you have right now. When you have those thoughts where you’re like ‘Oh god, I shouldn't wear this’. Just fuckin' wear it! Just wear it and see what happens. And then in the process of doing life, if there’s things about your body that you want to change you can, you absolutely can if you want to. Don’t let those things prevent you from doing the shit you want to do in life.“

• Being authentic to yourself no matter what body you’re in right now
• The water-skis and the furrowed brows
• Aryn dives into her journey with loving on her “skinbag” throughout the years

• The maiden, the queen and the crone: Aryn touches on these archetypes in relation to the aging process
