Before we get into this, if you’re still defaulting to the same pose you’ve used for years and wondering why it doesn’t quite work anymore, I’ve made a free guide that shows you exactly how to fix it. Fix Your Millennial Pose the FREE guide, walks you through the small adjustments that take you from the old go to pose to something more flattering and current, using clear before and after examples.

The millennial pose became the default for a lot of women because it genuinely worked for a long time. It was everywhere in our twenties, and most of us practised it without thinking. I know I did. The camera came out and the pose happened automatically.
The problem is that poses are not timeless. What once felt flattering can start to feel off a few years later. Bodies change, where weight sits changes, and the camera exaggerates angles differently over time. If you are still reaching for the same pose you relied on years ago, it makes sense that it no longer gives the result you expect.
What’s important to understand is that this isn’t about confidence or effort. It’s habit. Your body defaults to what it knows because you’ve repeated it hundreds of times. That pose became automatic through practice, not because it was objectively the best option.

In the Fix Your Millennial Pose guide, I show before and after photos that look dramatically different even though the person, outfit, and camera haven’t changed. The difference isn’t personality or confidence. It’s small physical adjustments.
Things like where the weight sits, how the arms are positioned, and how the body is angled to the camera. Each change on its own is subtle. Together, they completely change how the photo reads.
This is the part most women miss. You don’t need a brand new pose. You need a few small movements that shift you out of the old habit and into something more balanced. When you practise those movements, they start to replace the original pose in your muscle memory.
Just like the millennial pose became automatic through repetition, these new adjustments do the same.
The goal of Fix Your Millennial Pose isn’t just to give you a new signature pose. It’s to update the one your body keeps defaulting to.
Once you’ve practised these adjustments enough, your body starts reaching for them automatically. The camera comes out and you don’t freeze or overthink because you’ve given your body a better option.
