When Eating Feels Chaotic: Understanding the Drift and Finding Your Way Back
For the past few weeks, my eating has felt… off. Not in the dramatic ways we often imagine when we talk about “struggles with food.” There have been no binges, no spirals, no emotional eating episodes. What I’ve been experiencing is much quieter, subtler, and honestly, a little bit sneaky. It’s what I’ve started calling […]
From “Food Porn” to Food Pleasure
There was a time in my life when I hid all my cookbooks in the basement. A weight-loss coach back then had told me to “get rid of all the food porn.” No cooking shows. No recipe browsing. No glossy cookbooks on the counter. It was all “too tempting,” she said. (And, yes, I paid […]
What the 5% Weight Loss “Success” Rate Really Means
We were camping last week when my husband, Rob, asked me a question that landed like a rock in my chest. We were talking about his body — how it’s changed over the years, how he’s been feeling in it, and some of the physical goals we’ve been dreaming about together. He lost over 100 […]
You Deserve To Feel Nourished
When I reflect back on my own journey towards a more attuned and intuitive way of eating, what’s really struck me is how this has really trickled into every other aspect of my life. I have become more mindful at work, more aware of my body’s needs during long days at the computer, and I’ve […]
Healing Your Relationship with Food and Exercise
There is so much complexity involved with our relationship with food. And when we get so caught up in the diets, the rules, the calorie counting, the step tracking, the activity tracking…it’s so easy to lose the connection that we have with ourselves. It’s always encouraging to talk to other women who are interested in […]
Facing Your Fears
Friends, I can’t believe we’re already in 2024! I’m sitting here, writing this, just back from a mind-blowing trip to Costa Rica with Rob for his 50th birthday. Oh, the memories we made! But there’s one particular experience that’s etched in my mind, and it’s the reason I’m sharing this story of self-discovery and facing […]

In this blog, we delve into the essence of intuitive eating with Krista Beck, a Canadian registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating […]
Accessing Your Inner Wisdom
Today, I want to share the story of health coach and hypnotherapist Sarah Donner. Starting out as a model at just 14 years old (all while going through the normal teenage body changes), her whole self-worth was focused on the size of her body. Luckily, transitioning careers allowed her to understand that there was so […]
Healing My Relationship With Food
For many people, healing their relationship with food is an ongoing journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and ultimately, self-acceptance. As slow and frustrating as this journey can feel sometimes, it does gradually fall into place and I recently experienced that “a-ha” moment when I realized just how far I had come with healing my relationship […]
