letters encouraging you to release perfectionism, embrace your humanness, and live more intuitively
church was a sh*t show (can I say that?)
If you struggle with beating yourself up when things don’t go perfectly, this story is for you. Last weekend, Tim was in ATX having an awesome guys’ weekend. I was flying solo with the kids and honestly it was fun! I got to take Osh to activities that Tim usually goes to. I kept social…
ask this for a better relationship with food
Whether it’s day 1 of your intuitive eating journey or you’ve got a feel-good relationship with food but would love support navigating the occasional diet culture sneak attack (yes, those unexpected, subconscious thoughts happens to everyone! Even the most normal, laid back, in-tune intuitive eaters)… I’ve got just what you need! This simple question will…
Change is happening (you can decide how you want to move through it)
Labor Day weekend has always felt like a bridge to me, from the end of Summer into the start of something new! It might be a sweaty 🥵 95 degrees here in Columbus, OH, but in my heart & soul it’s Fall 😉 It felt like such meant-to-be timing that yesterday, fresh off of Labor…
I had to ask you
I woke up with this question on my mind/heart and I have to ask you… If you believed that it would all work out even better than you could imagine or “control for” — what would you do the same or different today? How would you live the same or different today? How would you…
Sometimes your anxiety is right
For years, my anxiety has been afraid that “I did something wrong” and “that person is mad at me.” I could unpack the reasons why, but for today I’ll just leave it at this… Sometimes my anxiety has been RIGHT. Sometimes the thing I am so anxious about actually happens. SOMETIMES THE CALL IS COMING…
I’m too old for this (I almost believed the lie!)
A few years ago I started to wonder if I was “too old” to run an online business. Everyone I saw on Instagram seemed to be 22. Tiktok was taking off and I was trying to figure out what it even was. It felt like everyone already had a podcast and the market for that…
Nobody Wants to Hear This (but you need to)
The fantasy of growth/change/evolution is this: once you have the thing you’re dreaming of, all of your challenges melt away. And, while nobody wants to hear this… The reality is that as human beings, there will always be challenges. As we grow, change, and evolve, they will just be different ones that we are faced with. I…
Don’t You Dare Tell Me That (The Real Reason I Was Bawling My Eyes Out)
I was late to the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before party but when I finally arrived I partied hard. I watched every episode of XO Kitty and all three of the movies in record time. During To All The Boys: Always and Forever, [spoiler alert] there’s an amazing scene where Lara Jean takes on New York City with…
life is happening right now (what are you waiting on?)
It’s summertime and that means hotter weather, fewer layers of clothes, and for many people, an increase in body-related thoughts. I have a specific memory of a beach vacation I took with my family in my early 20s. I was so uncomfortable with my body and had stressed for more than a month leading up…
The Sprinkle Pit Is Waiting For You
Last week, our family and dear friends visited the Windy City for some 4th of July fun. We had a pretty epic agenda planned — seeing Sue the T. Rex, watching the Cubs play, tea at the Peninsula, a boat cruise, and more. All the adults wanted to show the kids some Chicago magic (of…
