Love Is Hard
I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been thinking a lot about the lies we tell ourselves to make bad situations tolerable. One of those lies is that love is hard. It isn’t. Love is only hard when you’re trying to force it in toxic relationships. Love is as easy as breathing when you’re in a healthy, healing relationship with the right person. Think about your best friend. How hard is it to…

The Lies We Tell Ourselves
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the lies women tell themselves. We’re really good at pretending we’re happy when we’re not, at pretending we’re ok when we’re not. I’ve been unlearning how to do that. One of the biggest lies I told myself? I was happy being fat, because it was normal to gain weight as I got older. I got fat because I was miserable. I was married to a covert narcissist who…

Update - Big Changes Coming!
Update – Big Changes Coming!
It’s been a while since I’ve shared an update. I’ve been largely silent on social media and here, because I’ve been making big changes in my life. I wanted to share with you what’s next. My divorce is final. That very sad and lonely chapter of my life is closed. I’m taking with me new strength, new healing, and new understanding about who I am and what I want. I’ve moved to a new state and a…

The Thriving Experience
In January, I attend a Thriving Experience, which is a three-day free online retreat hosted by Dr Valerie Rein and Jeffrey Tambor. My Goals and Expectations At the start of the experience, I had with one major goal: get some strategies for dealing with PSD. I had been recognizing where PSD shows up in my life for a few weeks, and I wanted it to stop. I did everything they asked to prep for the…

Patriarchy Stress Disorder
If someone asked me what books most changed my life, Patriarchy Stress Disorder by Dr. Valerie Rein would top the list. My Journey Once upon a time, I was 16, graduating high school, and headed to college at Mt. Holyoke College. By 23, I was a divorced single mother working 3 jobs to feed my daughter. After years of therapy, counseling, and Al-anon, I found myself still struggling to recapture…

Daily Habit of Journaling
Daily Habit of Journaling
This week, I want to share with you my daily habit of Journaling. I use two journaling tools to sort through my feelings and thoughts. The Benefits of Journaling For me, the biggest benefit of journaling has been increasing my mindfulness. The more I journal the more I become aware of what’s going on in my head and heart. I’ve also found that putting pen to paper reduces fear and anxiety. When…

Daily Habit of Appreciation
Daily Habit of Appreciation
This week, I’m sharing my daily habit of appreciation. I use it to stay focused on the positive in my life. Gratitude vs. Appreciation For years, I had a practice of making a gratitude list, but I no longer do that for two reasons. First, gratitude implies owing, and I prefer focusing on love freely given. Second, gratitude practices tend to become habits to check off a list without feeling…

Understanding Storm Eating
Storm eating is a type of binge eating and is often followed by shame and guilt. For me, it usually follows getting too hungry. 😦 How it Happens Clean and Delicious provides a great description of storm eating: You are aware that you are eating and you want to stop but you feel like you can’t stop or like you can’t control yourself. It’s almost like you are watching another person inside your…

Healthy Treat Alternatives

Sugar Addiction & Mindless Snacking I’m sure I’m not alone in this… Have you ever taken sliver after sliver off a cake only to realize you ate the whole cake? Ever sit down with a family size bag of chips and look…

The Advent Season If you didn’t grow up in a liturgical church, you may not have experienced the beauty of the Advent season. Advent is the four weeks leading up to Christmas Eve and the birth of Jesus. It is a time of waiting and preparing for the arrival of our Lord…

Why You Have to Love Yourself
Why You Have to Love Yourself
You have to love yourself. Why? Because you set the standard for all your relationships, and YOU are your most important relationship! Our Culture of Self-Sacrifice We live in a world that consistently tells us that we should sacrifice ourselves for others. We’re taught that we’ll sleep when we’re dead, that we should be productive at work and at home, and that everyone is more important than…

Eating 30 Plant Points a Week
I recently shared an article by the Gut Health Doctor Dr. Megan Rossi recommending we eat 30 servings of vegetables a week. Let’s talk about why that’s so important! What We’re Missing One of the biggest deficiencies in the Standard American Diet is fiber, despite the fact that we know fiber has many health benefits. Another major deficiency issue in the SAD are micronutrients. You know… Those…

Changing Our Response to Cravings
Changing Our Response to Cravings
We’ve explored our cravings and now understand why, what, and when we crave. Now, we can begin changing our response to cravings. Our Natural Response Because our cravings can sometimes be a response to nutritional or hormonal imbalances, we’re pre-programed to respond to cravings by filling those cravings. Our minds also try to keep us in the past or future, which contributes to eating…
