Gosh the year is just flying, isn't it? Lately, I've been asked by women battling an unhealthy relationship with food & their body if recovery was worth it. Am I truly happy now? And I've seen so many women make the mistake of believing the lies. The lies that they will be miserable once they gain weight or that once they commit to putting their health first, they just won't like who they are....

This year is flying by! How is it going for you sis? The truth over here is we are one baseball weekend to the next & I am doing my best to keep up with both boys, while granting myself permission to rest at the same dang time. I'm sure you feel me.

Oh hey sis! A new day awaits us! & I cannot wait to share with you one of my most favorite songs: "You Say" by Lauren Daigle. If you do nothing else today, listen to this song as you clean the kitchen, go for a walk, or relax in child's pose.

But what does this have to do with finding freedom from disordered eating patterns and behaviors?

Hey there! Shout out to all of my high achieving women!

Good Morning sister friend! Did you know that you make as many as 35,000 decisions every single day? But if you struggle with unhealthy behaviors tied to food & control over your food, 9 times out of 10 you will make a bad decision towards living your very best life if you aren't mindful. That is because decisions made in stress & with anxiety....those are the worst decisions of all. But i...

Ohhh Happy Day! Or is it? I hope you are hanging in there sis!  In my neck of the woods, my mom turned 70 today & I caught myself going down a long dark hole of the "what ifs" & negative thoughts. I found myself wondering just how many more years I had left with her.  But I stopped myself mid-thought cycle & held the negative Nancy committee captive in my mind while I REFRAMED to somet...

Hey Girl, Do you live with guilt or shame from unhealthy patterns or disordered behaviors with food? Do you try to control your food intake only to end up frustrated and like you have failed at life?
