I watched EVERY episode of Gilmore Girls and it's now a personal favorite of mine. It was a mental break, a way for shutting down and resting my brain at the end of the day. 💁🏻‍♀️ (Any Gilmore Girls fans out here??) A couple other favs that were SO GOOD: Schitts Creek & Start Up! ... And then, of course, there was Bling Empire, Selling Sunset, and Love is Blind (hello trash TV LOL) Streaming shows for me was a form of ESCAPISM. --> Which btw, might sound like a 'bad' thing- but it doesn't have to be. Here's the thing: OUR HUMAN BRAINS ARE DESIGNED TO SEEK PLEASURE AND AVOID PAIN. (It's part of something called the Motivational Triad!) In short, it makes TOTAL sense for us as humans to seek forms of 'Escapism'. Not only is our brain's evolutional motivational triad at play, but as women, we're also socialized to constantly be productive and tending to the needs of others... it's no wonder most of us actually need to LEARN HOW to rest our brains and give ourselves permission to DO 'nothing'. One of the biggest issues brought to me by clients is this: 'I just don't know how to relax and unwind without food at the end of the day/week'... I can't tell you how many women I've coached have told me that they feel like they don't know how to relax or unwind, or turn off their brain; and that their ONLY method of escapism involves food. Now, I'd like to emphasize that the purpose of this is not to judge yourself or your forms of escapism. 🚫 The goal is to understand your mind, your brain, your choices, actions and results so that you can do it ON PURPOSE. (That's the most important part) To create what you want to create.✅ It's about UNDERSTANDING your brain and your choices. ✅ If you feel like food is your only means of escapism, I wanna invite you to diversify your choices...to explore other means of escapism on purpose that work for YOU. It's super important that we teach our brain how to relax, unwind, decompress and have other means of escapism that fit into your life; that contribute to your life in a way that works for you. I love the idea of not judging our means of escapism, and I love the idea of making decisions on purpose.

You know it’s a funny thing: ‘words’. I write words for a living... I speak words for a living... I even listen to, and hold space for, my client's words for a living… I guess we could say, I’m pretty damn good with words 🤓👀 And yet- When it comes to certain moments… when I’m thinking about certain people, and certain things… my heart swells up (my eyes usually do too!) and I feel like there’s just not much I can possibly say. Today, Father's day, happens to be one of those days. They say pictures are worth 1000 words. I think they’re worth more. Happy Father's day. I couldn’t be more thankful. ❤️

WAY TOO MANY women are feeling stuck in their relationship with their bodies, with weight and food. We feel shamed for NOT losing weight. We feel shamed if we DO lose weight. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We feel shamed for feeling great about ourselves (aka ‘she’s too much’’). We feel shamed if we DO have a personal goal and wanna lose some weight. There’s SO. MUCH. SHAME. & feelings of inadequacy either way. 😔 And I want to change that...✋🏻 I want a world where each woman has FULL AUTONOMY over how she wants to show up. 🥰 I can tell you from experience (at one point I weighed almost 200 lbs) I know what it’s like to be told that I looked pregnant (when I wasn’t), to be called an elephant (literally) to my face, and be told by a stranger I should join Jenny Craig. That wasn’t fun. 👎🏻 But, it also isn’t fun being judged for ordering a salad, being judged for being ‘too confident, ‘too full of herself or being called ‘too skinny’ in the body that I just happen to LOVE SO VERY MUCH. If you're ready to drop the shame and show up the way YOU want to, check out my podcast roadmap. 🎙️ Tons of listeners have lost their LAST 10 POUNDS simply by applying what I teach on the podcast, and I want you to experience next-level weight loss results you love as well! 💕 Download it here: https://qoo.ly/3cr8rc

People think that weight loss is about discipline… I STRONGLY disagree. Being ‘more strict’ and feeling more deprived doesn't work for most people… and certainly wasn't what 'worked' for me! 🚫 INSTEAD, it's about the ability to enjoy the things you love WHILE ALSO still listening to your body, and staying connected with YOURSELF, your goals, and the things you want in your life. It's actually about REBUILDING TRUST with yourself! 🥰 In my world (aka The Last 10 approach) creating the weight loss results you want is built on the foundation of re-establishing (& re-claiming!) TRUST and CONNECTION. Trust and connection with yourself. Trust and connection with your body. Ready?? Learn more about my Last 10™ Program here: https://qoo.ly/3cqphy
