letters encouraging you to release perfectionism, embrace your humanness, and live more intuitively
Do You Really ‘Have To’?
What have you been cooking lately? We’ve been cooking in full on fall mode over here: pumpkin mac n’ cheese, pumpkin muffins, so many different kinds of chili, plus this lentil sausage kale soup have all been crowd pleasers. Oh, and I can’t forget the apple honey cake my mom made (like this one here)… truly unforgettable. With my recent…
tv that feels like hug + the [new] story your 10 year old self needs to hear
Would you believe that one of my favorite ways to practice self care is to turn on the TV? Of course a walk outside, journaling, barre class, a hot shower, therapy session, or a phone chat with my best friend are amazing. And, what I’ve found to be true about myself is that often times…
you’re not that special [unexpected encouragement inside]
I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been chatting with a client when she shared with me that she feels like she’s the exception to the rule. Everyone else has permission to wear a swimsuit when they have cellulite on their body… but not her. She’s got to have skin that looks like…
What (most of) life is all about
How do you feel in the little, quiet, everyday moments of life? I’m taking a few weeks away from my personal Instagram, which has been so nice. I love that Instagram reminds me of all the wonderful, big moments going on in people’s lives: like new jobs, a program launch, a pregnancy announcement, moves, wedding photos, or…
‘Modification’ Is Not A Dirty Word
Last night, I got to be a guest coach for a group led by my friends Jules and Holly. We chatted all about creating a joy-filled, intuitive relationship with movement (it was so fun). I’m so passionate about this topic, as I truly feel we ALL deserve ease + joy in our relationships with movement & rest….
Taking your healing, change, growth to the next level [one simple step here]
At least once a day I get a message from someone sharing that they’ve read all the books about intuitive eating, they’re practicing all the affirmations to prioritize rest, they’ve listened to all the self-help podcasts, and/or they are finally promising themselves that they deserve to experience joy + freedom today. Then they go on…
cultivate food freedom + a more positive body image in 2 words
I know that healing your relationship with food and your body can be challenging, deep work. And, I also know that there are some simple practices + tools that can create ease along the way. I love helping my coaching clients develop practices and create tools so they can feel supported on their healing +…
What messages are your clothes sending your body?
All day long, whether you’re looking in a mirror or not, your clothes are sending messages to your body. Close your eyes and do a body scan right now. How do your clothes feel on your body? And what thoughts does it bring up for you? How does it make you feel in your body…
your humanness is not an inconvenience
I had an incredible experience last week in the Mama Glow doula training. One thing I noticed during all the classes was how comfortable I felt to be myself, to meet my needs. To be human. We weren’t just allowed to move, stretch, eat, nurse babies, etc throughout the hours of classes each day but we were encouraged to…
How do I learn how to make the “right” choices with food and exercise?
Monday was the first day of my doula training with Mama Glow and it’s been so incredible. I’ve followed and admired Latham Thomas for years (since back in my corporate attorney days) and am so grateful for this opportunity to be in her presence + learn from her. At the very start of the week, Latham shared…
