Slam dunk, KC! Before you showed the ‘affected’ one, I was like, not so bad. And then you got real, the way every Oscar nominee does, you showed ‘the ugly.’ My dear, I had the same symptom, with different lessons and I love that you shared so bravely. Though for me, transparency and authenticity have nothing to do with bravery, because in our authenticity we are never wrong, never ugly, always beautiful. Awesome post. xo
“in our authenticity we are never wrong, never ugly, always beautiful.” love. thank you. xooo
Wow, KC. This post is so full of wisdom, love, and generosity. This part really echoes a truth that I’ve been discovering and experiencing lately: “The more real I am in every area of my life, the healthier I am.” Thank you!
Thank you Lisa! xxo
Thank you for sharing such a beautifully honest piece of your journey. I had a very similar experience, and it was only when I started my own dive deep into myself that things began to turn around. My spiritual work started with the writings of Deepak Chopra (and I later went on to be the Director of the Chopra Center for several years…funny how that works). I have a son that is pretty much the same age as yours, and like you, have felt as though part of me was put on hold. Just this week I decided that it was time to say hello to her again, because she has been calling, and I’ve missed her : )
Amazing to hear all of this. Love you are meeting her again! I’m sure she’s a bit different, a deeper cut than she was before you were a mama. Pretty magical how it was Chopra’s words that inspired you and then you went on to run the center…Love how that happens! xxoo
Gorgeous through and through.
Thank you love xxxo
This post is everything. I relate more than ever imaginable, and I feel you in every word. Especially in the sensual dance piece Seriously, the most gorgeous writing and truth I’ve seen in some time. Thank you!
Wow thank you so much, Carly. xoxoo
Hi kc, thank you so much for sharing this. I felt so much of myself in your story — i struggled with acne through high school but covered up the symptoms with proactiv for 7 years until one day – it stopped working. I was in college and was devastated. I went to the dermatologist and was ready to take anything he would give me — antibiotics, creams and eventually accutane which I luckily stopped taking after a month out of my fear of the side effects. This was 6 years ago and the transformation I have gone through since then has been amazing. I didn’t make the link until reading this — but when I was going through the struggle with my skin, I was completely terrified of sharing my voice. I was blocked in my throat chakra and had closed myself off in creatively sharing for years. It wasn’t until I took the bold leap to face my fears of public speaking and become a yoga teacher that everything changed. I was able to let go of my addiction to sugar, change my diet and my skin dramatically improved. More than anything, it was the inner work that began to reflect on the outside. I now guide other women in balancing their health and overcoming their fears of self-expression and am so grateful. I can look back on that time and actually feel grateful for the acne and the struggle, because it led me into such a beautiful unfolding of personal growth. I hope to one day give speeches like you do! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your story and doing the beautiful work you are doing.
Meredith – I am so touched you wrote and shared all of this here. It’s amazing hearing about your journey. I deeply congratulate and honor you for making the connection about your voice. It’s a huge piece in the healing, for skin and other conditions. Blessings to you in your sacred work. xo KC
I accidentally came upon this article and it’s really something I needed to hear right now. Beautiful insights. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you did and that it touched you. Thank you for letting me know. That means a lot to me. xoox KC
Oh, KC, all of this article is so beautiful. I consider you one of the most beautiful women with whom I’m acquainted, even though we haven’t met in person. Knowing we share a history of substantial skin problems makes me appreciate your beauty even more, and remember to honor my own. What amazing journeys we go on through our body’s suffering and all the learning we do to find our way to health… Thank you for sharing this. You offer us such wisdom.
Chara, thank you so much. I am really looking forward to crossing paths in person. That will be an awesome hug:) xxo
Great article and lots of good ideas.
In my mid twenties i had extreme cystic acne — connected i believe to corisol and PTSD triggers re immense stress and bodymind issues.. I don’t regret taking accuntane as it was quite unbearable to have that on top of everything else and nothing else had worked –But of course, i struggled with more minor version of acne for years ( really only clearing more in my 40s) due to the inflammation you are talking about and it certainly isn’t healthy for your body. The risk of accentuating depression is also part of the side effect – but the again, severe acne can be hard to deal with and it can turn catch 22..
I had one friend that basically had no acne who wanted to take it as she wanted to ‘perfect’ her skin enough to get one small mark removed by dermatologist=== and her ‘ inner critic’re the need for perfection was so strong . So this also taught me a lot it relative.
Crazy right – how relative it all is. Our minds can make massive mountain out of molehills, but the suffering inside is the same. Thank you for writing in. xoxo KC
Kc, Thank you. You are one of the most beautiful women I know, inside and out. To read this and see your journey touched me very deeply, because I too have a very similar journey with my skin… SO FREAKIN’ BRAVE to share yourself in this way. Stunning, actually.
I love you.
Oh Saida love, I love you so much, woman. Thank you for your words here. Can’t wait to see and hug you soon. KC
Dear KC, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
You are the only one from all internet-teachers I read, whose words
are transmitted to my own source and work from there with light-blessings into my energyfield.
This letter gave me a deep inner shift from my suffering after a surgery feeling pain and weakness in my body for several weeks.
And therefore my judging thought: getting really old.
Changing my focus to my inner “river of beauty” and to gratefulness for all the talents God has given to me, I decided
to sing again and will start to add this erotic sensual feeling to my movements and dancing.
Thank you for your honesty and your devotion, Anjana Renate
Renate, I love hearing you are opening to singing again. Profound healing and beauty in that. I’m excited for you to dive into sensual dance:) Keep me posted! Much love,
KC
Thank you.
You are so welcome. Thank you for writing in to say thanks. Always feels amazing. Love,
KC
Hello my dear
I thank you for this post. I am healing myself from cancer the nutritional way
And it’s not an easy road being sick
But your words gave me inspiration to keep on being beautiful inside as well as out. To keep connected with source
To love myself which I’ve not known how to do , but am learning. You are a
Remarkable women. Thank you
Love Bev
Bev, I so admire what you share here about your journey. Keep rockin’. I’m sending you waves of beautiful love. xoxo KC
I am finding it hard to express how truthful your post feels. My heart knows deep wisdom and honesty when it feels it and then my mind can quiet as there is nothing to be judged or debated. The emerging beauty in me thanks the blossoming beauty in you.
I had physical beauty in my youth but felt ugly and lacking on the inside. I was so touched when you said about beauty being one of your top cards – I can remember thinking if only I could be ‘discovered’ and make a living out of my looks then I would be off the hook – like I had earned my ‘enough’ stamp. I now smile reading this as I was looking for a an entry ticket into the ‘you belong here’ club by seeking outside approval. What a road to unhappiness…
You asked for the sharing of wisdom and healing – my coming home to my beauty and truth is reclaiming sovereignty over my life by pausing to choose what feels right not what others tell me would be good for me. Only I can ever know what is right for me. My truth is always found in nature and in the company of non-human animals so I honour this by seeking out these connections and environments. I have Hashimoto’s and healer friend said it is only symptoms of not loving yourself – self-love is a life’s work for me x Thanks you once again KC x ps. your little man is just delicious!
Suze, I am touched by your comment here. Thank you for your kind words and reflection, and most of all, thank you for sharing so honestly about your experience. I really resonate with truth being found in nature. That is a huge one for me as well. Much, much love to you. KC
Hi KC,
I’m not sure if you remember me, but I wrote to you about 2 years ago now (and no worries if you don’t), lol. I understand. I must say, I can’t necessarily relate to the acne part of this blog because, lucky enough for me, I never had bad skin. However, I can relate to you in that I aspired to be beautiful at one point in my life. It was the only thing that got me through the day. I remember during my middle school/high school years, I would feel so bad about myself if I didn’t look beautiful or look the part. I would think everyone was judging me, based on the way I looked. Luckily, I’m way over that stage of my life, but I guess I am here to tell you that you are not alone. Nor will you ever be from this point forward. Your story is very touching and will inspire many people who went through/are going through the same thing you did. All your blogs are inspiring.
Thank you for everything you do. Oh, and that picture of you and your little one is incredibly adorable. That picture speaks volumes. How sweet!

Hi KC. I had to dwelve deep into my healing having chronic fatigue for 6 years which I was so proud to find angels to help along the way. I had 2 years of isolation before they showed up. It was tough but I was connected to source like never before. It helped me to trust. Then last year a brain tumor was found and I had surgery. I’m recouping and adjusting. Your writing is inspiring me to take those steps to deeper self love and care. And reconnecting with the body more. I needed that. I’ve been in shock I think. Thank you soo much!!!
Very useful post. This is my first time i visit here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. Really its great article. Keep it up.
