40:42

The most common issue I hear people struggling with this time of year is that they're worried about Christmas.

34:33

I've been excited to turn 30 for a while. My twenties were for screwing around and finding out, dealing with my depression, anxiety, and mental illnesses, and trying to figure out what I'm meant to do in this life. All I hear from the older generation is how turning 30 is "All downhill from here." My best friend turns 30 in November, she's freaking…

I've spoken a lot about my recent breakthrough. It seemed to help a lot of clients so I thought a full podcast and breakdown of how I got there would help even more people. I'm a classic all-or-nothing perfectionist, which probably explains why my client base resonates with my content and my story. This is how I used my brain, being wired the way i…

I recently took a 2-week break from my ADHD medication and posted about what I found interesting between being on or off medication.

55:09

‘I just can’t stop eating, I just love food so much!’ it’s one of the most common phrases I hear when people explain why they binged or over-consumed. I wish it were that simple, but if you truly loved food you would learn to respect the power it has. Loving food is not the issue, we all love food, there’s a deeper lying issue at hand that a lot of…

Most people get too ‘in their head’ and overwhelmed when improving their health or losing weight. They get too bogged down in different conflicting information on what they ‘should’ be doing.

Everyone I work with has been on or off a diet. Never anything in the middle. That’s because every time someone’s tried to lose weight, they’ve only ever focused on taking things away from their life. Going into a calorie deficit and burning calories is the only thing they’ve cared about. How many calories can they burn and sacrifice? Add things in…

What you think and feel is often not the reality of the situation. Our thoughts and feelings influence our perception of the world around us. We interpret things differently based on our experiences.

In a social media driven world, it feels like every other person you see is giving conflicting information and trying to fear monger you away from foods you love because of a certain ingredient.
