We are very excited to be getting our new Tesla and we are wanting to share our positive emotions with you. Not only the excitement of receiving our Tesla but also the crucial conversation where I could have been upset (and probably would not have been as thoroughly helped) but instead openly asked for help. I help humans fall in love with foods that make them feel good and internally manage stres...

Why we make food changes is more important than you may guess. Depending on how big the why is directly determines the likely hood of your success. So before you waste your time and energy, I would encourage you to read on and figure out if you're why (for food changes) big enough. The worst is when we try to make food changes because we think we should, o,r we are supposed to or because we fe...

Holistically Healing Symptoms ❤️‍🩹 Using Di...

How to Internally Manage Stress? Flight stress used to be a bad thing for me.

Here in Isreal, people love to spend time in nature, eat food, and leave their trash. It is just after the Passover Holidays here and my morning walk is filled with trash. As a food and mood coach, I see the parallel of eating non-nourishing foods being like trashing our Earth. Today's video is not the lightest, but maybe it is the perfect message to inspire your food beliefs. Chandra Zas is o...

When we think we are not good enough parents (or humans) we show up not as fully ourselves. Innate in every human is to give our little ones the best, plus when we give them the best it makes our job easier. When being a good enough parent goes over-board into perfectionism then we slip out of balance. In a balanced state, good enough is great parenting…. And it is all about how we think about our...

I can't vs I don't want. One of the phrases I am catching and rephrasing these days is "I can't vs I don't want"; it is so easy and inaccurate to say "I can't". What I have been doing with my little one and myself is catching these unconscious thoughts like "I can't" and owning that "I can but the truth is that I don't want to…" So empowe...

Over-powering kids and using willpower on ourselves is one way; there is another way. One that has to do with consent, connection, receptiveness, and an internal want and “YES”. I practice the latter both with myself and my little one.  Over-powering is easier in the moment but erodes a potential special connection. When I see people grab kids by the forearm my heart lurches both for the kid and t...
