This common scenario is a great example of how a child's energy, focus, and behavior are directly linked to the food they eat. It's not about being "good" or "bad"... it's about fuel!

If you find yourself in a similar position, this is a great opportunity for gentle education! Instead of demanding they eat or only giving them one option for something they haven't eaten in the past, focus on connecting food to feelings. Try saying, "This oatmeal will give you the long-lasting energy you need to play tag and build blocks at preschool! Let's see how strong it makes you feel."

Educate, reframe, and try, try again! Leave any questions you have about difficulties you and your family may be running into this school year ⤵️

Brigitte Nicole's words beautifully encapsulate a truth I reinforce with clients daily: our capacity for sensitivity and emotion is not a flaw to be hidden, but a core aspect of our strength.

True emotional intelligence and authenticity begins with self-acceptance! When we stop apologizing for our feelings and instead lean into them, we unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and foster more meaningful connections with others 🧡

Consider this your invitation to embrace your emotional truth today. How will you honor your feelings?

I'm inviting you to participate in National Eating Disorders Awareness Week!

Eating disorders can affect anyone, anywhere. It’s time to get real about eating disorders by busting harmful myths and stereotypes!

➡️ You can tell someone has an eating disorder by their weight ⛔ People of all shapes and sizes can have eating disorders. Many individuals struggling with these disorders maintain a normal weight or are even overweight.

➡️ Eating disorders are a choice ⛔ Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, not lifestyle choices. They are complex conditions with biological, psychological, and social factors.

➡️ Men don't get eating disorders ⛔ Eating disorders affect people of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

These myths are so harmful to those who have eating disorders! They can prevent people from recognizing the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in themselves or others and create barriers for those seeking help.

You can make a difference by taking or sharing the NEDA’s eating disorder screening tool: www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening-tool/

Quote of the day: It's time to believe in you! ✨

Self-belief isn't about pretending you're perfect or ignoring your insecurities... it's about recognizing your inherent worth, acknowledging your strengths, and choosing to focus on what you can do. It's about gently challenging the negative voices in your head and reminding yourself that you are worthy of good things. It's about taking small steps forward, even when you're scared, and celebrating every win along the way.

Cultivating self-belief is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself, and remember that you are stronger than you think. You've got this! ❤️

I know the pressure of New Year's resolutions... we've all been there. But what if we shifted our perspective?

Instead of aiming for a complete overhaul, I challenge you to try and focus on sustainable growth this year. ✨

✉️ My invitation to you: Craft resolutions that prioritize self-care, that you can find support in, that are genuinely achievable, and that are rooted in mindfulness. These are the keys to lasting change!

YOU define what makes your body healthy. A healthy body for you might mean:

➡️ A body that's a little larger in size in comparison to what society and media portray 'healthy' to look like
➡️ A body that works out 1-2x a week versus every day of the week
➡️ A body that enjoys food and eats intuitively versus extreme dieting

Your Friday reminders: YOU are in the drivers seat. YOU control the narrative. YOU are beautiful both inside and out!

Quote of the day by Eleanor Roosevelt ✨

She was right: no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. It's so important to remember, your self-worth is not determined by others' opinions or actions.

Here are some tips to help you reclaim your self-esteem:
✨ Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding.
✨ Challenge negative thoughts: Replace self-critical thoughts with positive affirmations.
✨ Set realistic goals: Celebrate small victories to boost your confidence.
✨ Seek support: Talk to a therapist or trusted friend about your feelings.

You are worthy. You are capable. You are deserving of happiness. Happy Friday! 🧡
