I just posted a video about body image, and the me that is learning how to filter and edit and hone my social media marketing craft wishes I had said something different than I did, but hindsight is always expensive. I had remarked that I thought healthy body image would produce an unconditional love for …
I wasn’t always health conscious, or intentional about my health. I wasn’t always driven by a combination of loving nourishment and respect. I wasn’t always open and flexible and thoughtful. In fact, for a long time, I was the polar opposite. I was almost consciously unhealthy. I was only driven by aesthetic results that waivered …
Being on zoom all day has taken me to a new level of exhaustion. I can’t read body language. I can’t sense if someone is interested based on their energetic feedback that I am usually privy to in person. Sometimes, I can’t even see them and instead have to bite my tongue to avoid spewing …
It is hard to expose yourself day in and day out on social media, and I had no idea I’d have to. I wrote a book because I wanted to write a book. I wrote a book because I want to help people, and I believe my story can. I now know it’s going to …
I ran my programmed 52 miles last week, and it was a lot. I was tired. And I was miserable. And I lost my joy. I didn’t lose it because I ran 52 miles. And I didn’t lose it that week. And why I lost it is not my fault. I started riding horses …

I’m about to ask for help from a professional in order to get my book out into the world. And I’m scared. I’m scaredthat I’m not worthy of promoting my book at the level it deserves. I’m scaredthat I will be judged for trying to make my book bigger than a backyard social media sale. …
35. Once upon a time, that seemed incredibly old to me. It was not only old, but out of reach. As a drug addicted teen and narrowly focused girl, I didn’t expect to live, or want to live, beyond 27. Thinking back on that makes me so sad, but also brings tremendous compassion to those …
The last thing I thought about receiving from my broken leg and surgery was self-compassion, self-respect, and unconditional self-love. I have to write out “surgery” because it created a very different scenery than just a break. Not that breaking your leg, or any other part of your body isn’t enough, but I have to …
This is stressful. It is emotional, it is unnerving, and it is stressful. It looks like I guess it should: headaches, which may or may not have something to do with not having EHT. Not sleeping very well, then sleeping a lot and still needing more. Brain fog. Easily reacting to situations and feeling overwhelmed. …
