If our weight is a “symptom”, then what’s your weight telling you? Finally, you can get off of the treadmill of body/life dis-satisfaction and find freedom!

Society may say push harder, no pain-no gain, or that your weight is your worth, but I’m here to remind you that YOU are so much more.

How is “Loving Me” different? It’s all in the mindset of what’s motivating you. Instead of: “Sigh…How do I look today?” Try: “How do I feel today?” Chances are that answer will affect how you think you look. Love & Own ALL of you because it’s from this point that you can then move in the direction you want to go on this inside-out, self-love journey.

Healthy-vs-Unhealthy Coping: If there’s anything that I have learned on my healing journey from my eating disorder & a debilitating illness, is that when we allow ourselves the space to feel we will heal! The emotion that we are avoiding is never as scary as the dark place that we remain stuck in if we choose avoidance. What we RESIST, PERSISTS! FEEL IT ALL! The good & the not so good. It’s facing up to it and through it that you will get to the other side! You can do this! Trust you will get to the other side of it and you will!
