Creating An Aligned Experience of Body & Healing Food Issues
The one small component of healing that can easily be overlooked. In my work as a fitness and nutrition coach, I have the honor of working with a very specific population of women that deeply want to heal their relationship to body and food….
Why You Aren’t Losing The Weight & The “Secret” Truth About Weightloss
A HUGE part of the work I do with clients is around weightloss and fitness. Primarily I attract mirrors of myself – emotional eaters and binge eaters that are anxiety filled depressives that use food as buffer instead of nourishment. There’s actually A LOT…
My Secret Weapon for LIFE.
I wanted to share something REALLY personal that has deeply transformed my life: My morning routine. One of the benefits of working with me as a fitness and alignment coach is the ability to contact me one-on-one for a more personal coaching experience. This…
The Ultimate Reset: How a 21 Day Detox is Changing My Life
Let me begin by saying I’m only on day 5. FIVE. I still have 16 days left and I already feel like a completely different person – frankly, I’m a little alarmed imagining who I’ll be come day 21. Lady gaga?! Madonna!? Who knows!…
![[BEFRIENDING • MY • HUNGER]
Years ago I wrote a blog about this concept while fulfilling a 21 nutritional reset program.
During the 21 days I came face to face with one of my greatest - unknown to me- fears: feeling hunger.
Until that moment I didn’t realize how uncomfortable hunger made me feel. How quickly I would rush to remedy that feeling upon the first inkling that I MIGHT be hungry. How much I would obsess over scheduling events and outings around snacks and food to avoid feeling hungry.
Can you relate?
I felt like a SLAVE to food.
Recently I decided to revisit that practice and have been allowing my body to feel full blown hunger before eating. This typically involves no snacking, way more water, and full meals.
In 3 days of this practice my body feels light, strong, and I feel a whole new awareness of my body and mind.
Such a simple practice. So valuable. You can read the blog on my site, scroll down a bit and you’ll see it.

Carried around my neck,
A reminder that I came here
Not just for me - but for you.
That I came here not just for now,
But for always.
That WE came here,
Able to serve
To uphold
To transform
With love
In love
For love.
I named you,
My beautiful team,
The Movement of Love.
So that, every action you take,
Be fueled with it
Led with it
Infused with it
Living it.
I gave you each,
My beautiful teammates,
The very sacred duty
Of walking the world
A love ambassador of the most high.
Reminding others
Of their power
Divinity
Ability
And Grace.
I lead you,
My partners,
I serve you,
My soul contracts,
I am forever in love.
May all beings be happy,
May all beings be free,
May I have the courage,
To serve them in spite of me.

![[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]
It wasn’t until I decided that feeling good in my body was more important than immediate comfort that my weight dropped.
It wasn’t until I decided to focus on my IMPACT and MISSION instead of what other people thought of me that my business exploded.
It wasn’t until I decided to stop feeling like a victim of my circumstances that my tenacity skyrocketed.
It wasn’t until I decided.
They were just decisions.
Small ones.
Big ones.
Collected, compounded, expanded.
You are just a few decisions away from a totally different life - where is your mindset?](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/1316061c476292a4454c2dc60dba8871/5DB95612/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/66344564_483061742495370_4512848941302207138_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com "[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]

![[OUTSIDER]
At birth, born with a condition that kept me from activities other kids could freely do.
At 15 came out to a family that harshly rejected me and created an environment of shame and secrets.
In my 20s chose a career path that was criticized by peers and family alike as being “beneath” me.
Outsider.
Most of my life was spent on the outside looking in.
I told myself it didn’t matter. I was strong enough. I could go at it alone. I didn’t need approval. I didn’t need anyone but me.
Until I contemplated suicide postpartum. Until I found myself holding this perfect baby in my arms and wanted to drive my car off a cliff at the same time. I could no longer tell myself I was okay alone.
This is when my life broke open. When I was sheltered in the truest love. The truest support. The truest purpose I have ever felt.
Now I get to offer this to other women daily. I get to hold them, speak life into them, cast vision over them, lead them, mentor them.
No longer outside. I welcome all of you who still feel this way. There is a different way. A stronger way.
Looking for 10 women who are ready to build community businesses that empower and uphold LOVE.
