✨With Holiday parties in full swing, it’s easy to get hung up on what to wear — what’s trending vs. what feels like YOU. Parties are meant for people to have fun — and there’s nothing fun about feeling self-conscious or down on yourself while your friends and family celebrate around you. Trends come and go; what stays with us are the memories we make with those we care about. So forget about the pressure to conform your form. Wear what makes you feel good, and enjoy yourself! ❤️

Recently returned from seeing , the keynote speaker at the for eating disorders. She had a really wonderful message around living in your authentic beauty. It’s not what you see necessarily, it’s how you see it. We are all influenced by culture, society, beauty standards, etc. Allow yourself to redefine your standards in a way that aligns with your authentic beauty. ❤️

Fall is in full swing, and that means it’s a wonderful time to embrace food satisfaction and pleasure! 🍎🥧

We often attach moral value to seasonal treats. Recovery reminds us that all foods fit and deserve to be enjoyed without a mental cost.

This is your official permission to fully enjoy your favorite fall foods, guilt-free. Let the scents, flavors, and company be the focus - not the nutrition label. Permission is always on the table.

To hide the Halloween candy or not to hide it? That's the post-holiday dilemma many parents face! 🤷‍♀️

This decision isn't just about sugar - it touches on food scarcity, regulation, and your child's relationship with food.

Hiding/Restricting: While it seems protective, creating a "forbidden" food can unintentionally increase focus, craving, and the desire to overeat when unsupervised. This can set the stage for a tricky dynamic around food.

Leaving it Out (Access): This offers a vital opportunity! It allows for natural learning and self-regulation. It's the perfect time for discussions about:
➡️ Intuitive Eating: Listening to our bodies (hunger/fullness/satisfaction).
➡️ Food Neutrality: All foods fit.
➡️ Body Impact: How different foods make us feel (energy, mood, stomach).

My Suggestion ➡️ Offer a reasonable amount of easy access in a visible spot. This normalizes the candy. Use any questions or concerns as a positive opportunity for food education and open dialogue. And/or, you can donate some to clear the excess!

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!
