letters encouraging you to release perfectionism, embrace your humanness, and live more intuitively
Remember when Leo DiCaprio was my boyfriend?
I’ve been talking a lot with clients recently about the tender moments of the intuitive eating journey. There are many! If you’re in a tender moment right now, I want to share one of the stories (“Taking Up Space”) from Letting Go of Leo: How I Broke Up with Perfection with you today. Make sure you read…
hawks, corn, horses… oh my!
We just took a lovely little Labor Day roadtrip to Saugatuck, MI to be with friends and celebrate Osh’s fifth birthday. Anyone who knows me well knows that I while I love travel (exploring new places or visiting old favorites), I do not love transportation. I passed this not love of transportation onto my kids. LUCKY THEM! Being in…
how to navigate changes to routine with ease
If you’re in a season of life like I am, then you’re navigate some changes in routine. Whether the changes are elective (like a new movement practice) or essential (like the start of the school year), I’ve got some simple questions you can ask yourself to help you navigate the transitions with a bit more…
a simple word that can change your life
Whatever it is that you’re going through, the person who you’re becoming, the growth that you’re experiencing, the healing that’s happening right now… I know there will be moments that feel hard, tricky, scary, or uncomfortable. How do I know? Because you’re a human and that’s all a natural part of the human experience. We…
What I’m thinking about your body when you take my barre class…
In coaching, I talk with clients a lot about how our thoughts create > our feelings and our feelings > impact our actions. That means that when I’m teaching an UNMEASURED barre class, my thoughts about bodies > impact how I feel about bodies (mine, yours, all of ours) which > informs how I act while teaching a class. In…
Is “intuitive drinking” a thing?
This past weekend, I got a DM from someone who was curious with how drinking alcohol fits in with this whole intuitive eating journey. We’ve talked about this in HELD (my coaching community) this summer and I think it’s an important part of the intuitive eating conversation! With everything I encourage you to do, I hope you’ll…
Craving sugar constantly? This one’s for you!
Last week while I was speaking to a corporate team about intuitive eating + movement, someone asked: “What do I do if I’m craving sugar constantly?” I deeply related to this question because I had it at the start of my intuitive eating journey many years ago. Are you wondering the same thing, too? If…
A huge moment on your healing journey [the shift I don’t want you to miss]
On every journey of healing there is a moment when the intention of the journey shifts. At the start of most healing, there is a pain or discomfort you’re seeking to ease. Somewhere along the way, there is a shift that happens. A shift from pain to pleasure. There will be a moment when your…
“Turbulence ahead!” The intuitive eating encouragement you need
We made a quick getaway to Austin TX last weekend and I fell in love with the city! Now, you should know that I am a bit of a nervous flier (ok a verrrrry nervous flier). Anytime there is turbulence, fear rushes over me, my hands start sweating, and tears begin bubbling up in my…
This triggered a binge.
Over a decade ago, I was secretly struggling with binge eating. I’d spend all day long doing everything “right.” Everything the health magazines told me to do. Everything the books recommended. Everything celebrities claimed worked wonders for them. Everything my nutritionist instructed me to do. I measured my food, counted my calories, ate only things…
