It's not uncommon for us to be obsessed with moving our bodies while on the diet culture treadmill until we start to feel like we hate exercise. It makes sense that if you're trying to 'be healthy' by living a diet lifestyle while also working on improving your physical fitness, when you pivot and begin to eat intuitively, suddenly, you might not want to exercise at all. The truth is all that obsession with “getting fit” might have left you with a nasty taste in your mouth about moving your body...

Social media often presents intuitive eating as simply giving yourself permission to indulge in foods like cookies and donuts, which can be misleading. While it's true that intuitive eating involves giving yourself permission to enjoy all foods without guilt or shame, it's not just about mindlessly consuming junk food. However, as we navigate this journey, we may find ourselves swinging too far in the opposite direction and indulging in these foods excessively while never touching a salad. That ...

Weight Watchers, meal replacement shakes, the 100 Calorie Packs, and those celebrity fitness gurus leading us through DVD workout after workout. Ah, the 2000s. Good times! Good times! We'd fuel up on 200 calories or fewer and then expect to go out and live our lives to the fullest while walking around with the amount of food in our bodies that we'd expect a toddler to eat. We've all been there, and most of us tried it ALL… and a lot of us have the unhealthy obsessions (and the dusty stack of wor...

We all know that we can't control the people around us, just like we can't control the thoughts that enter our minds. But we can choose how we navigate, interact with, and manage our thoughts. When we're feeling negative, stressed, or just not present, it might be a sign that we need to make changes in our lives. And sometimes, our gut tells us we need a little help managing our thoughts and actions. That's where therapy can enter the scene, as it can be a game changer to have an ally in our cor...

When we feel like we've tried everything, but the pounds just won't budge, we often begin a desperate search for that ONE thing to help us overcome our struggles. As 2023 dawned, suddenly everywhere you looked, you saw jaw-dropping, post-holiday body-remaking results in the pictures and videos of the stars and the tiktokkers, and soon the rumors were rampant. The word on the socials is that the type 2 diabetes drug, Ozempic, is the secret to the slimming success of everyone from Kim (hey-she did...

We talk a lot about body image, but do we really know what it is? It’s a tough question because a lot of us might have been “sitting in the suck” for so long that it’s hard not to have a negative bias about body image when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Simply put, “sitting in the suck” sucks. So what can we do about it? You guys, you’re in for a real treat with this episode.

Have you ever wondered why we come home after a long day at work and binge an entire season of Gilmore Girls? Sure, we have to give kudos to the show for being amazing, but that doesn’t explain our own need to unwind. It turns out the reasons why we do things aren’t always the same even if the outcomes are. As many of you who follow me on social media have probably guessed, I’ve been digging more into Enneagrams lately. (It turns out, I’m a Type 3: Achiever, who’da thunk it?) Many of you have as...

Hey, I struggle with normal human things too! And here’s the deal, there are a lot of normal humans out there that are in the same boat.

But you guys, the issue isn’t with avoiding all of that carby goodness in the pantry, and in this episode, we’re literally going to break down why. This episode is literally going to be a step-by-...

For a lot of us growing up, we might assume what we’re going through is the same as everyone else. It’s no big deal, right? So what if I’m feeling nervous or panicky or stressed, this is what everyone must be going through. But here’s the deal, you guys, “normal” is just something we say sometimes to write off what we’re actually experiencing. Anxiety hit me like a brick wall when I was in high school, and at the time, I wrote it off as “normal.” And as you might expect, food started to control ...

Who are you beyond your body? Maybe the golden child? Maybe not. A lot of us can get tripped up looking in the mirror and wishing we looked different. It happens to all of us from time to time. But here’s the deal: our bodies are such a small part of who we are. You are more than what you see in the mirror! It’s time to throw out those negative vibes, strap on our muck boots, and start marching out of that dark place because there’s a lot of gunk to go through before getting to our inner rays of...
