Diet culture is so ingrained, sometimes we don’t even recognize it as that because it seems so normal.

Counting calories does not have to be your norm. Neither does exercising for the purpose of weight loss. You don’t have to aspire to any other body than the one you’re in.

But undoing the damage of diet culture cannot be done passively — we have to take steps daily to counteract what we’ve been taught is true for so many years. These are some simple swaps to use when you notice these diet culture driven urges come up in your day.

There’s a lot of talk about intuitive eating but what about intuitive movement? In the same way that dieting has become a norm in our culture, so has the idea that we need to “work off” our food. Total BS. Movement, just like food, is an important part of caring for our bodies BUT it does not need to be extreme, compensatory, or punitive. Use these questions before your next workout to help you understand if you’re exercising from a place of shame and fear, or enjoyment and care for your body.

This year, my personal life took a turn I never expected — one that has required me to return to this message every day to get by.

I learned there is nothing, absolutely NOTHING, I can do to change the current circumstances except to keep my hope high and trust the path of my life. I’ve had to radically accept the now, and radically release any expectation of what I thought my life would look like this year. And in doing that, I’ve found moments of joy, peace, and happiness in the middle of what sometimes feels like a dense fog of grief.

We can’t control what life throws at us, but we can control how me respond to it. It isn’t always easy, but I’m choosing to cherish today and hold hope for tomorrow.

Perfectionism is a blessing and a curse. For many high performers, perfectionism has been their ticket to success — never settling, always striving to be better. BUT it can also be your complete demise, burning you out and creating a thought loop of self-judgment and motivation based on fear tactics.

There is a way to harness that beautiful determination that perfectionism brings out in you AND avoid the negative consequences of “never enoughness.”

Follow for tips on how to strike this balance through mindfulness, self-compassion, and flexible control.

Why people think going to therapy is weak is literally beyond me. Therapy is HARD. Therapy requires you to look at the deepest, darkest, most shameful things at times, and that is anything but weak. When you choose to get help for your mental health you’re making a brave and vulnerable choice — one that could change your life.

If you’ve been thinking about seeking therapy and this myth has gotten in the way, let this be your sign to go for it.

I get the most pushback from clients when I introduce self-compassion because of this belief:

If I’m not hard on myself, I won’t be motivated to do anything!

This is totally not the case. Intrinsic motivation that aligns with your values and your spirit will motivate you 10x more than judging yourself for every small mistake.

Give kindness a try. You’ll see what I mean.

You don’t need to do a complete overhaul of your life to start feeling better. If today is hard, ask yourself what is one small thing that might make it easier? Start there.

Working with a licensed therapist can help you get from where you are to where you want to be — but it doesn’t happen overnight. Step by small step, you will start to see change and will inch your way closer to a life of peace, freedom, and purpose.

When we make decisions to please other people, we compromise our soul’s purpose and integrity. People pleasing often comes from a place of fear — fear that we won’t be liked, fear of trusting our intuition, fear being seen as selfish. People pleasing provides temporary relief from that anxiety when we receive praise or validation.

But what if instead we took a deep breath and looked inward? What if we could see with more clarity that serving ourselves is not being selfish — when we align to our soul’s purpose we are able to show up fully. When we are empowered by purpose instead of fear, we can pour from a cup that’s full and serve others by serving ourselves first.

How to Overcome Perfectionism

Are you struggling with perfectionism? Do you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough? Have you spent hours working on something only to feel continually dissatisfied and disappointed in yourself? You’re not alone. Perfectionism is something I consider to be a blessing and a curse. In my own life, perfectionism has helped me in many ways and is even something I’ve considered to be a superpower at times. But what happens when the perfectionistic tendencies that once served you so well and helped you achieve so much become your worst enemy?

HI, I’M CHLOE.

I became a therapist because I’ve been where you are.

In the trenches of an eating disorder, chronic perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming thoughts of “not-enoughness,” change and recovery can feel impossible at times.

Maybe you’ve tried to recover on your own, but white-knuckling and bootstrapping just isn’t cutting it.

You can’t “just eat.”

You can’t “just get out of bed.”

You can’t “just relax.”

I get it, and I want to help.

Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint — and you DON’T have to do it alone.

Our work together will honor your individual needs, strengths, and goals while building the groundwork for freedom, peace, and flexible control of your life circumstances. My approach includes not only tangible skills to reduce maladaptive behaviors and symptoms, but celebrates the mind-body-soul connection as a conduit to healing.
