40 Pounds Down, A Lifetime of Self-Doubt Released
For years, Karen battled with self-esteem issues and the exhausting voice of self-doubt. But something shifted. In recent months, she chose to take control—to stop waiting for permission and start writing a new chapter. After losing 40 pounds, she was ready for more than just physical change. She wanted to feel beautiful in her skin—for the first time ever.
A space where beauty wasn’t defined by size, age, or anything external—but by presence. Karen walked in with hope, and walked out with awe. When she saw the first few images on the screen, she paused. “I didn’t even believe it was me.” That disbelief quickly turned to joy, then tears, as she finally saw what everyone else had always seen.
“Alishba really captured something in me. Seeing those photos was eye-opening. For once, I felt like I could actually accept the beauty within.”
Karen’s transformation didn’t just happen in front of the lens—it happened inside her. With each pose, each frame, she met a version of herself she had been denying for years. The kind of self-love that doesn’t beg for permission… it claims space.
“If you want to feel joy, beauty, and self-acceptance—invest in yourself. Do this. It’s completely worth it.”
