Before fall hits... give yourself a boost of momentum.
Dear Reader, August is packed. Travel, family time, sunscreen, back-to-school lists. And underneath all of it, fall is already pulling at your schedule. For anyone with ADHD, that shift doesn't ease in. It literally can bowl you over. One week you're loosely following summer's rhythm, the next you're back to deadlines, school pickups, and a brain that's running fifteen tabs before 9am. Food is usually the first thing to fall apart in that shift and that's not because you don't know what to...

READ POSTI'm speaking at a free online dinner summit (and you can ask me anything!)
Dear Reader, Meal plans die the second real life shows up. That's not you failing the plan. That's the plan failing you. I'm one of 25+ food experts speaking at "What's for Dinner?": The Summit — a free 3-day online event happening August 17–19, 2026, built around one idea: rhythm beats rigidity. These are real systems that bend when your week does, instead of breaking the second something changes. My session is called From Dinner Stress to Dinner Rhythm, and I’ll be walking through the body...
READ POST{HMW} Knowing the salad is the better choice and eating the ice cream anyway
Dear Reader, When's the last time you knew exactly what you should eat, but did something else entirely anyway? I'm willing to be that you already know "what to eat". You're not confused about the "right" choice. When faced with an option between a salad or ice cream, we know the salad is the better option nutritionally, and will likely make your body feel better too and still, we don't always make that choice. It can be maddening that knowledge alone doesn't always make a difference in what...
READ POST{HMW} Why you're rummaging through the fridge when you're not even hungry
Dear Reader, You just had a really great meal. You savored every bite and are leaving the table pretty satisfied and full. But what's this? You feel a bit unsettled. You can't seem to carry on with your evening. You're distracted and a bit antsy. Why? You're craving dessert. You expect dessert. And not having dessert makes you feel like something is missing, even if you're not even physically hungry for it. So the nagging dessert fairy keeps poking you on the shoulder, urging you to rummage...
READ POST{HMW} Three stress-reduction tools to use today that can give you quick relief
Dear Reader, While I don't hold the golden key to eliminating all stressors in life, I have done personal work around mitigating chronic stress and its affect on my body and on the health of my clients. I want to share some of those strategies with you today because making stress reduction a priority along with finding ways to get in a parasympathetic response (a.k.a rest and digest) directly impacts your relationship with food and eating behaviors. Before I go further, I'd love to hear from...
READ POST{HMW} Are you an external or internal eater?
Dear Reader, The choices we make about what to eat are often influenced by factors beyond our conscious awareness. One such factor is mimetic desire, a concept introduced by French philosopher René Girard. Mimetic desire suggests that our desires are not entirely our own; instead, they are shaped by observing and imitating others. This social phenomenon can deeply impact our eating preferences, leading us to crave foods that we see others enjoying rather than what our bodies truly need or...
READ POST💐 A little something to keep you calm before back to school hits
Dear Reader, Back to school season has a way of putting your nervous system on high alert before the first bell even rings. That's why I'm contributing my Nervous System Regulation Tool to this year's Motherhood Unfiltered Bundle: The School Run Edition. It's a free collection built for moms heading into this season running on empty. My product focuses on regulating your nervous system in the small windows you actually have, not another 45-minute self-care routine you won't get to. There are...
READ POST{HMW} Neutral eating: what it means and why it's different from clean eating 🥣
Dear Reader, It's been a long time since I've said goodbye to dieting and diet culture and said hello to mindful & intuitive eating. It's changed my life for the better in so many ways. One way I healed my fraught relationship with food was to learn how to become a "dietary detective" for my own body taking in consideration all aspects of health, psychology and previous eating experiences, not to mention my lifestyle. Here are 5 practices I adopted that have helped me immensely and help my...
