letters encouraging you to release perfectionism, embrace your humanness, and live more intuitively
personal story about receiving love + an invitation for you to do the same
As the doors to HELD coaching community + membership open today for the next 48 hours, I’d love to share a really personal story about receiving love with you. Yesterday was my birthday and I had a huge personal breakthrough. For most of my adult life, I have told everyone that “I’m just not really a birthday…
“Do I need to rest or is it lack of motivation?”
Last week, one of the members of UNMEASURED [the virtual barre membership that celebrates your body + helps you to cultivate a more joyful, intuitive relationship with movement] asked me… “How do you recognize the need for rest versus lack of motivation when it comes to movement?” Like all things connected to intuitive movement (+ intuitive eating,…
This will happen on your intuitive eating journey [+ a simple question to help you through it]
Many of us have found intuitive eating when we are in a place of restriction, food rules, and / or feeling really chaotic + obsessive in our relationships with food. Whether you are acting out those behaviors or carrying the thoughts, shoulds, rules, and judgments around in your mind, it can be incredibly all consuming….
The time I sobbed to my health coach because my pants didn’t fit…
Earlier this week, over 75% of you on Instagram shared that you experience negative body image and feel it interferes with and / or holds you back in some way in your life. Does that feel true for you? If so, I’m sending you so much love + compassion. And, so much understanding. Because I…
Are those “life hacks” hacking your life away?
Today, I’d love to share a real life story about really living. This month in the HELD coaching community we’ve been diving deep into the theme of rest. While at first it might sound like it’s all about taking days off of exercise (which it can be), that is only the tip of the iceberg. We’ve gone deep into how productivity,…

Did you have a BlackBerry? This month in the coaching community HELD we are talking about rest and it brought back some memories from my BlackBerry days. I loved my BlackBerry. I was the last person I knew to get rid of mine. When I was practicing as an attorney, I was glued to my BlackBerry….
That time I broke down sobbing outside a hot yoga studio…

are you hiding?
Before the doors to HELD open to the waitlist tomorrow, I want to share something personal with you. When I was in the deepest parts of my struggle with restrictive eating, binges, overexercising, self hate, perfectionism… Believing that I needed a different body, better grades, an impressive job, to always say the “right” thing, to…
don’t let someone else paint your picture
When I first started coaching many years ago, I heard over and over again that I needed to paint an “after” picture for clients. What your relationship with food would be like, what clothes you’d feel freedom to wear, how your life would change, etc. so you could see what was possible. I needed to…
your preferences + presence are gifts
As we move toward a new year, I’d love to reflect back (judgment-free) with you for a few moments. As you look back on 2020 + beyond… Did you feel free, comfortable, & empowered to share how you felt? What you liked? What you didn’t? Did you experience permission to say ‘no’ when something extended…
