My Story
The Interim Clothing Boutique was born out of my own deeply personal journey toward health, healing, and self-discovery. For most of my life, I struggled with my weight—trying every diet, every workout plan, and every “miracle” solution that promised change. Each failed attempt left me more frustrated, more exhausted, and more defeated.
Then, in 2022, everything changed. I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy—a heart condition—after being considered a COVID long-hauler. Hearing that my heart might give out in my 40s was terrifying. It was a wake-up call that forced me to confront my health with new urgency and intention. I began working with my doctors, adjusting my diet, incorporating more exercise, and practicing intermittent fasting. While I saw some initial progress, my weight soon spiraled again, and my cardiologist recommended I consider bariatric surgery.
After months of research, prayer, and honest reflection, I decided to move forward with VSG surgery in September 2024. That decision—combined with therapy, nutritional counseling, and a continued commitment to fitness—changed my life. It has not been easy, but I have lost 140 pounds so far, and more importantly, I have gained a new sense of health, energy, and confidence that I hadn’t felt in years.
As I navigated this transformation, I encountered an unexpected challenge: clothing. Losing weight so quickly meant that my wardrobe rarely fit for long. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on “in-between” sizes, but I also wanted my clothes to reflect how good I was beginning to feel inside. Friends began pointing out that my clothes were too big or ill-fitting, and I realized that looking as good as I felt was an important part of my wellness journey.
When a friend—also on her own weight loss path—offered me clothes she could no longer wear, something clicked. That simple act of kindness inspired me to create The Interim Clothing Boutique: a shared closet for those on similar journeys of health and transformation.
The Interim Clothing Boutique exists to help people feel confident, beautiful, and seen at every stage of their wellness journey. Because everyone deserves to feel good in their clothes—even (and especially) while they’re evolving into the best version of themselves.
