Make yourself your world again
There’s this thing women tend to do: we make everyone but ourselves our world. People - out there - mean more to us than we do to ourselves. Men, the way society views our body, the media, teachers, bosses, friends, children, they all mean the world to us - but we...
2019 – A Deepening
Deepening. That was my "word" for 2019. I intended to deepen my experience of life, my relationships, my everyday moments, my coaching sessions, my downtime, my mission, my HAES work, my own self-care and my writing. I intended to be open to whatever life had in store...

Losing Weight Won’t Fix What’s Inside – Start Healing Now
“I’ll change once I’ve lost the weight. I’ll begin loving my body once I am at the weight I desire. I’ll work on healing my body image fears once I am there, I promise.” Aaaaaargh. This excuse makes me want to scream. Shake my head and shake the person who is...
A Full Life
A full life consists of going through the day with energy, excitement, motivation and feeling satiated. It’s filled with adventures that don’t involve your scale, and void of meal plans that’ll haunt you until the rest of your life. It’s overflowing with emotions,...
