Wholesome Badass blog and avatar emerged when I first engaged a therapist to support me with inner child and mother wound healing work. With Mari Andrew as my inspo, Wholesome Badass Girl came to life to help me along my healing journey.

Not necessarily a girl I looked like. Wholesome Badass is considerably cuter and more symmetrical than I am—or ever was.

Just a representation of my littlest me, before I learned all the things that would teach me to fear life and what to expect from the world and the people around me.

I see Lil Baby Magda as a little wild animal who needed and deserved encouragement, nourishing guidance, and care, probably more than reduction, fencing in, or casting out.
