{HMW} Why 'Just Love Your Body' Doesn't Work (And What Does)
Dear Reader, I've been thinking about something that's been bothering me in the wellness space lately. Maybe you've felt it too, (especially as we approach summer): the pressure to suddenly "love your body" as if it's a switch you can just flip. Here's the thing: telling someone to love their body when they're struggling is like telling someone to fall in love with a stranger. It's not how love actually works. Real love, whether for another person or for ourselves, grows from trust,...
READ POST{HMW} Understanding Your Binge: It's Not What You Think
Dear Reader, The word "binge" carries so much shame and morality around food. But here's what I've learned after years of coaching: a binge has less to do with what or how much you ate, and more about the feeling of losing control, being in a dis-regulated nervous system state and disconnecting from your body. >>> You can't tell who and who doesn't binge just by looking at them. <<< Additionally, trying to use willpower, dieting, or avoiding "trigger foods" rarely helps - in fact, restriction...

READ POST{HMW} Nourishing yourself Through times of Transition
Dear Reader, I've been thinking a lot about "felt time" lately and how everyone experiences time so differently. My husband has noticed that I often reminisce about the past and conjure up nostalgic moments with a pang of sorrow, even when those moments were truthfully not so great at the time. In fact, I tend to overly filter most of my past experiences in a glow of positivity. Science explains this through a cognitive bias called the "Rosy Retrospective." That's why despite all the...
READ POSTIt’s free! For a limited time…
Dear Reader It's almost Summer, yay! For the first couple of weeks, it’s great! There’s some relaxing that there hasn’t been time for in the last nine months or so. Take a deep breath, Reader… But then, maybe it’s the youngest one first, “I’m bored.” In a couple more days, you might hear it from an older teen, “There’s nothing to do. I’m bored.” Soon there will be gnashing of teeth, and from there it only gets worse. Ok, maybe it’s not that bad at your house but how about preempting that...
READ POST{HMW} An Unconventional Spring Reset... 🌼
Dear Reader, As spring unfolds around us, your nervous system is quietly entering a seasonal transition of its own. Research shows that changing daylight patterns directly influence your brain's neurotransmitter production, particularly serotonin and dopamine. This biochemical shift explains why many people experience mood fluctuations and energy changes during seasonal transitions - your body is literally rewiring itself to align with nature's rhythms. Try this unconventional spring reset:...
READ POST{HMW} How Humming Helps you find Harmony
Dear Reader, Did you know your vagus nerve acts as the communication superhighway between your gut and brain? Research published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation shows that this vital nerve pathway helps regulate digestion, mood, and stress responses. This gut-brain connection explains why emotional states can trigger digestive issues—and why calming your nervous system can improve both how you feel and how your body processes food. Try this playful vagal nerve reset: Hum your favorite...
READ POSTThis Bundle is going live today - and I have a brand new product I'm contributing! 🥳
Dear Reader, Personally, I have never liked the term "homemaker." We're all homemakers, not just the image of what a 1950's homemaker might look like. A home that gives us joy and is a space that feels safe, calm and beautiful is something anyone can cultivate. What it really means is finding ways to make the unique abode YOU reside in feel manageable amid life's constant chaos. That's why I wanted to be a contributor this year in Ultimate Bundle's Ultimate Homemaking bundle. I am a...
