What brings you joy? Simple question, but many of us listening to this would struggle to figure this out if we were put on the spot to name 3 to 5 things that bring us joy.

In today’s episode, I want to take a moment to give you permission t...

In the wellness world, we are weathering a huge shift in supporting people’s goals. With the massive surge of body positivity during the Covid-19 quarantine, we have seen a huge swing back into the direction of dieting and weight loss. Truth is, we can be grateful for our bodies and struggle to see the beauty of our bodies. And if we’re honest, in the food category, our body positivity may sound s...

How many diets have you tried? If not actual diets then maybe dietary changes? If you have tried more than one (which, who hasn’t?), or if you are OVER all the well-meaning but overreaching comments from family members who have ALL the ideas on what you’re not doing to take care of yourself, then this episode is for you. You probably have done green-, plant-based, carb-cutting, eliminating all the...

Do you have a well-stocked pantry that is ready for you every time you prepare meals at home? Or is one of the reasons you dread meal prep because you know you never have the ingredients and will have to run to the grocery for this and that, on the way here or there, right after you do xyz? And then it quickly becomes another fast-food night, another hit to the budget, or some other huge challenge...

Consistency, consistency… We all know that it is consistency that will get results in your health habits. But for some of us, consistency feels as far away as a remote island on another side of the world. It is ridiculous to think we can be consistent in anything, much less our health goals, and we know we need help, but we have no idea where to start.   Today, we’re going to dig the tunnel underg...

Today we’re talking about “interoception” - a sixth sense of generally knowing what is happening across our entire bodies. Interoception is the perception of the whole state of the body. Many times we lose sensitivity to or interpretation of this sense and its signals, and it causes a disconnection - that could contribute to anxiety, depression, even things like PTSD or eating disorders.  Mild dis...

Sometimes, we find ourselves in a place where we may be having a little (or a lot of) progress in our wellness goals, and these little, tiny, negative thoughts start to creep in and get bigger and bigger, distracting us from the activities that support our healthy choices and activities.

Sleep-loss/sleep deprivation is too common - add on top Revenge Bedtime Procrastination (“getting back” at the overwhelmingly long days).

Sleep loss is the most common basic issue in women I work with, and it adds to the already stressful, over-worked...
