First-time mommy Lamiez Holworthy recently embarked on what she calls a ‘selfish island escape’. And honestly, who can blame her? After welcoming her bundle of joy with her husband Khuli Chana just six months ago, Lamiez found herself in need of some much-needed rest and reset.
As a celebrity DJ, Lamiez has been open about the challenges of being a new mom. It’s a role that can feel overwhelming at times, and even superheroes like her need a break every now and then.
In a series of stunning poolside bikini snaps shared on Instagram, the 31-year-old shared the reason why this trip was so close to her heart. She needed to be selfish just this once, so that she can continue to be selfless.
Society often makes it taboo for women, especially new moms, to admit that they need time away. But Lamiez reminds us all that before all the titles of woman, daughter, sister, wife, and mom, we are individuals with our own needs. Resting and resetting is necessary, and it doesn’t take away from our ability to wear all these hats.
