I had a super cool conversation with a client yesterday about how ignored cravings (aka NEEDS) turn into cravings (aka needs) that will no longer be ignored. Whether it’s… a craving for food in general (hunger) that, when ignored or denied, turns into a famished starving sensation, a craving for a specific food like donuts…

Six years ago, I walked in the doors of a sweet little barre studio called Studio B.  At the time, my primary form of movement was long distance running and I had a super unhealthy relationship with movement. I felt guilt if I missed a planned workout, I was pushing my body way harder than she…

Have you ever struggled with changes in your body? The first time I struggled with accepting body changes was my freshman year in high school, when my boobs went from basically non-existent to a size C practically overnight. I hated it! I felt so uncomfortable with my ‘new’ body and all I wanted to do was hide….

In college, I was the self-proclaimed to-do list QUEEN. I loved scheduling out every moment of every day, down to when I would brush my teeth. It made me feel like I was in control of each minute and if I could cross everything off the list, it gave me a sense of accomplishment for…

Are you feeling like a failure because you’ve gained weight since you started intuitive eating? If so, you’re not alone. One of the most common frustrations women share with me is that they believe their bodies should be smaller because at a time in their past they weighed less than they do now. The fact…

On Friday night, I had a 7PM reservation to meet some girlfriends for dinner. The plan was margaritas, chips with guac, my favorite tacos in town, and great company. Around 5:45 PM, I felt myself getting hungry. Before intuitive eating I never would have let myself eat an hour before a dinner reservation. I would…

I was never considered “athletic” or “good at sports” growing up, so I didn’t get a lot of pressure from adults. But I can remembering hearing parents say to their (athletically gifted) kids that “anything less than first is failure.” For those kids who were told they had to be first, well I guess they…

When I’m super inspired by someone, it’s usually because there is a desire in my heart that she has put into action. For years, I was so inspired by women who had fun, easy, nourishing relationships with food. I really wanted that, but hadn’t learned to put that desire into action. I had to get…

I hope you had an awesome weekend. From the Letting Go Of Leo book launch party Friday night, to a comedy show (and epic burger) on Saturday, and a Facebook live on Sunday, I haven’t had so much fun in a single weekend in a long time! ​ Back in the day, this kind of…

Last year, as we celebrated New Year’s Eve in Mexico, Tim and I started a new tradition. I’m calling it a “tradition” because we did it again this year and in my mind two times makes a tradition. We sat side by side and wrote what we hoped to experience and accomplish in 2017. When…
