‘There’s nothing to fear’
Ulrika continued: “Lots of pics of me because I’m in an actual dress and something other than flip-flops. Enjoy, cos it won’t last.”
She went on: “Starting to remember and know my worth; where to set the bar; to not constantly lower it because I’m too trusting; have too much faith and insist on being a people pleaser. A shift in mindset is definitely happening and it’s long overdue.

“Some people force you to forget how [blank]ing awesome you are; others raise you up and remind you.
