Truth Talk: Why Your Diet Could Be Hurting You More Than Helping You

Dieting is the worst way to lose weight. The fitness industry teaches us that by losing weight we’ll become happy with our bodies and therefore happy with ourselves.

In this Truth Talk, I’m breaking down the characteristics of a diet, how they can affect our thought process, and what we can do to reframe our perspective about eating.

REPLAY - Forgiveness: Why It's Important and What It Means to Forgive

For the month of July, I'm sharing replays of my most popular episodes. In this episode I'm discussing forgiveness and why it’s important to me. For a long time, I carried the weight of pain, unwilling to let go. I thought to forgive meant to erase all that had been done. Forgiveness doesn’t mean reconciliation. That takes both parties coming together in agreement to work it out. Maybe that’s an option in this season, and perhaps it isn’t. Forgiveness takes one person. You. Your willingness to w...
