Katie Mackie: Finding Yourself Through Pain
Description
Thank you to Katie Mackie for jumping on this podcast, learn more about her here:
"My name is katie mackie aka @mackies_moments and I have been an eczema and sensitive skin sufferer since birth (1996 b*tch).
My eczema has always been the one part of me I hid and felt embarrassed of. I’ll never forget the painful memories of trying to hide my eczema by covering it with foundation for any kind of social event (not a good idea, burns like hell) or when girls would bully me for being in jeans and long sleeves at parties when they were in dresses. I know a lot of other people feel the same way and sometimes we look at ourselves and think we are disgusting.
This is not okay and is something I want to change. As I’ve got older I’ve realized I am not the problem, people’s reactions to my skin are. I share to teach people and let them know it’s okay and they are not alone."
