Learn how to use your breath and body to solve for anxiety. Thought work is powerful and amazing at alleviating anxiety but often many of us who have heavy duty anxiety, panic attacks, etc. can’t always access the parts of our brain that we need to do thought-work.

Many of us often go to food and/or alcohol for pleasure. We also usually hold a sub-conscious (or even conscious) belief that pleasure only happens with food and/or alcohol. But…. we actually have natural pleasures that are occurring all day long that we just are not tapping into or paying attention to. The more we can tap into these natural, every-day pleasures and really pay attention to them, t...

I’ve been doing health and weight loss coaching for a long time and what I have seen first hand is that the diet the person is following doesn’t matter very much in regards to losing weight.

But to lose the weight FOR GOOD on any of these...

Do you struggle with over-eating or binging behaviors? These topics are really close to my heart as personally they have effected me in such a profound way over my lifetime. I also have worked and continue to work with so many clients who deal with over-eating, over-drinking, binging behaviors. It is a silent, very shameful struggle. These behaviors can really take over our entire lives. You may n...

You all might also remember, and I’m sure many of you have done this over the years (I definitely have!) where you use a formula to find out how many calories you are burning in a day. You plug in your weight, height, activity level, etc and it tells you how many calories you're burning in a day and from that number of calories you now believed you were burning every day, if you were trying to los...

I believe our brain has a very different connection with food than any other sort of vice or addiction (if you will) that we try to use to fill a void within ourselves. If we don’t receive the nurturing or comfort from interactions with other people…but most often from our own Selves…this manifests into using food to feel this nurturing and comfort. It becomes our best friend. Take a listen to lea...

In this episode I talk about disordered eating patterns including binging, secret eating & emotional eating. I wanted to create an episode about Secret Eating in particular because, for many people who suffer with this issue, it feels incredibly shameful which creates negative issues within all aspects of our lives including our relationships with ourselves and others. It is a pattern of eating th...

There is often a misunderstanding that we need to feel motivation or use willpower to behave or act in a new or different way. The simplest example many of us can relate to would be “I need to feel motivated to change my over-eating habits” or “I need more willpower to move my body”. Those are the things our brains tell us and we believe it. But remember that our brain often does not tell us the t...

Yoyo dieting is not only physically difficult on our bodies, it is incredibly emotionally & mentally exhausting & detrimental to our well-being. Living life in this way actually creates a life with extra stress & an unneeded focus on body and food (which takes away from focus and intention with other parts of our lives). It creates a very damaged and unhealthy relationship with our bodies & then w...
