The Australian native revealed that she used to be self-conscious about her look, reports The Daily Star.
The 35-year-old detailed how she had struggled with body dysmorphia and body image issues since the age of 12.
It wasn’t until a trip to Hawaii three years ago that Honey began to feel confident in her own skin.
“It became very obvious by the third day that the only person who cared what I was wearing or how I looked, was me,” she shared.
“I came home with a different mentality,” the influencer said.
After her young daughter began criticizing her own body, Honey realized she needed to make a permanent change.
She detailed: “My daughter made me realize that my words have power and for once, I wanted to use my words differently.”
Honey took to Instagram to share her body positive message.
“I choose to wear lingerie and swimwear on my account because I am finally comfortable in my body,” the model revealed.
She expanded: “I was inundated with messages from women and men who stepped out of their comfort zone or discovered a little boost a confidence.”
Honey’s main take away from her work as an influencer is to judge people on their personality and not their appearance.

“We are taught from a very young age that a large portion of our value as a person comes down to how we look,” she said.
The influencer concluded: “I see people for who they are, not how they look. And I want the same courtesy in exchange.”
