Stop Yelling at Yourself
Yelling at yourself isn't the solution to healing your relationship with food.
Do You Remember Your First Diet?
“Whoa, gaining a little weight there, aren’t ya?!” My brother asked me while poking my side after I had returned home for winter break after my first semester of my senior year in college.
Um, as if I hadn’t noticed my jean no longer fit 🤔.
That comment, although not intended to be malicious, reinforced a narrative that had been running rampant in my mind since I started school that year. That my weight was becoming a problem. It was all people saw. That to be the person I wanted to be, I had to get the weight off. ASAP.
What Are You Committed To?
Are your commitments dragging you down?
No, I’m not talking about your commitment to show up at work whether you feel like it or not…
Because a girl’s gotta pay the bills, am I right?!
I’m talking about those unspoken commitments. The ones that you’ve fed into despite their ability to leave you feeling like… well, a hot mess.
Using Food as Comfort
Ever wonder why food can feel like the ultimate comfort?
It’s like nothing takes the edge off of a long, stressful day like (*insert your fave comfort food here*).
And sure, eating a cookie dough ice cream with abandon can certainly take the edge off... But, does eating in response to your emotions make you feel truly comforted?
Think 20, 30, 60 minutes later.

On Body Trust and Kindness
“How can you respond to your body with kindness and compassion?” is a question I ask many of my clients.
Most times, I get blank stares and shrugs in return, communicating, “I don’t have a clue!”
Do you know why that is?
To The Bone- My Hope For A Broader Conversation
This film is based on the story of a young woman struggling with anorexia.
On the heels of the release of Thirteen Reasons Why, there has been quite a bit of controversy around how this film will serve the community, people who are struggling with eating disorders.
The Farmhouse Table That Drove Me Batty!
As I planned the move I decided what I absolutely needed was a farmhouse table for the new space. After doing some research, Google and Pinterest told me that building a table wouldn’t be all that hard (ladies, why does Pinterest always do this to me!?).
Naturally, I set my mind on building one. I reassured my husband that it’d be a super quick project and that with our brains combined we could totally do it.
Well, we did it (enter fist pump here)!
The Most Important Skill I've Learned
“I LITERALLY CAN’T GO ONE MORE DAY JUST BEING WITH MYSELF!!”
I remember saying this more times than I can count.
