The Self Love Series: Steph Olejniczak
Where does your confidence come from? / What makes you feel confident?
Nature. Being out in nature or in the ocean is so humbling. It makes me feel grateful for a healthy body to take it all in the way I love so much. If I get up early in the morning and go for a swim in the ocean, I feel like I can do anything that day.
When the day is up, the week has been long, what’s your ultimate self-love ritual?
Cooking a beautiful dinner with my husband and just relaxing on the couch with him. It really is one of my favorite things! We love cooking so much and it’s always a special time we get to share together. It always gives me the energy I need to feel happy and relaxed.
What is your favourite way to wear lingerie/style lingerie?
Under a simple outfit like a white T and some good denim. I like things simple and classic.
How does lingerie help you to feel empowered?
It gives me the confidence to embrace my sexuality. Having that gives so much power...
What does your perfect weekend entail?
Spending the whole day at the beach. Surfing, messing around with friends, coming home cooking a huge dinner and laughing. Then the next day is spent getting cozy with my husband and taking things slow.
If you had to describe self-love in one word, what would it be?
Respect.
Is there anything you once disliked about yourself that you now love?
My masculine figure. I grew up an Athlete and always had more of an athletic figure. I hated how strong-looking my legs were growing up. Now it’s something I hope I never lose!
If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Always go with your gut and never hold back from doing what feels true to you.
