Meghan King has some big 2023 resolutions. The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum shared her new goals on social media and in a blog post that explains how the new year is going to be different for her focus and priorities.

Meghan King Is “Staying Focused” In 2023 And Making Big Changes

In a recent Instagram post, the mom of three, daughter Aspen, 6, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 4, explains what her newfound focus and priorities are and links a blog post to explain it in more detail. “For 2023: I’m staying focused. No more showing my kids’ faces. No more filters, ever,” she begins to explain. “Boundaries, grassroots efforts, femininity, deleting and blocking a–holes who troll my page: my promises to myself and to you this year.”

The carousel of photos King, 38, posted along with the caption included photos of her children with their faces covered up by emojis, or their faces simply not seen because their heads are down or looking a way that the camera doesn’t capture.

Meghan King Says She Will Not Show Her Kids’ Faces Any Longer

In her “Burn Baby Burn” blog post linked in her bio, King explains this new mindset in more detail. “Focus. That’s my word of the year. I’ve been great at distracting myself with events and trips but this year I’m focusing on ME. Being a mom, loving my home, paying attention to my health, writing, reading, planning retreats, and writing my book,” she wrote. “This year my personal life was ravaged with more of the same. The family court system is broken as hell and 2022 was another glaring reminder. But in 2023 things will change.”

That’s when she drops the news that she will no longer show her children’s faces on social media and explains how that new rule came to be. “My children’s images were used against me as an intimidation tactic recently. The thought of using the images of my innocent children to attempt hurt their mother is… I don’t know if there’s a word to describe the depth of the disgust that incites inside me. But I am lucky here, I have complete legal control over the use of their images and I’m putting an end to that,” she explained.

“Additionally, my kids are individuals. When they were babies they felt like another appendage of mine, but now they feel unique and I love watching them spread their wings. One likes the limelight, one hates the limelight, and one doesn’t know what to think. But they’re just kids and they don’t really understand what notoriety means so I am going to insulate them from it until they are old enough to be slowly ushered back in if they so choose. Poof. Bye bye Aspen, Hayes, and Hart’s faces from the public eye from this day forward.”

The blog post continued to discuss King’s New Year’s Eve and a dream she had about the new year. “I’m living authentically this year,” she wrote. “I will be inspired to persevere by those brightly lit individuals around me.”

She also gave some information about her upcoming retreats and how she’s eliminated some medications. “My retreats are launched and growing with incredible speed. I am present. I have eliminated all antidepressants and hormonal supplements. I am present,” she explained. “I am enforcing boundaries and angering people because I’m standing up for myself in new ways that weren’t expected before. I am present.”

Meghan King’s Post Got Mixed Reactions From Her Followers

Some of King’s Instagram followers offered positive thoughts and feedback on her decision, and many challenged it. “I understand boundaries. But you have shown your children consistently. Just don’t post them anymore,” one person pointed out. “I have watched you for years and a divorcee myself … I watched you go through all the emotions I remember… this is you girl!!! You did it!!! You made it to the other side!! Welcome ?,” said another.

Another follower called out that she didn’t cover up the face of one child in the photos she shared saying, “But you posted someone else’s child? Should have covered the other child’s face. She is not yours!” And another person suggested, “Then don’t post them at all. Posting them with a sticker over their face is just pointless.”
