It’s back! The More Than My Numbers project is near and dear to my heart. I started this special project years ago and it feels so good to bring it back. As a bra fitter since 2005, I’ve seen a lot in the fitting rooms of NYC and beyond. Thousands of people have...
How to Lovingly Forgive Yourself

Ashley Says I am More Than My Numbers

Ferna Says I am More Than My Numbers
Meet Ferna. Her story in the More Than My Numbers project is a little different than most. Many of the numbers that other women listed as defining them, or having struggled with in the past, were on Ferna's list, too. And one number stood out: 2. Ferna is a sweet,...
