What I’m about to tell you is a sensitive (and very controversial) topic… Is it possible to lose weight if you stop dieting? Should you even care? Or should you just look in the mirror and… accept your body? No matter what it looks like? Or what you feel about it? Let me start off by saying this first: I never encourage anyone to diet. Doesn’t work. And it only brings you harm. But with A LOT of binge eating coaches… it’s either black or white. If you were to ask them… Wanting to lose weight is bad. You should never think about it ..read more

Life in the 21st century can be challenging. Our world has changed in the last few weeks. Before coronavirus, many of us took far too few vacation days, brought our work home with us, and were always thinking of what's next. Now, we have all that to contend with, as well as the threat from the virus. Our minds and bodies are exhausted, overworked, and burnt out.  We act as if rest will be the downfall of our success. This attitude is present in the dieting and fitness industry, where the answer to every health-related question is, “You just need more willpower.  Work harder!”   Where does ..read more

I want to quickly check in and give you a different take on the coronavirus… (Something almost nobody is talking about) By now, the virus is “getting worse” by the day and spreading throughout the globe. I have no idea what’s going to happen next.  Almost nobody does. But all this uncertainty can cause a lot of anxiety and panic… And when you see empty grocery stores… Schools shutting down… People being advised to stay inside… It’s hard not to feel like an epidemic is upon us. So if you’re feeling worried about all this, here’s what you can do: Stay with “What IS” (instead of “W ..read more

Stress is a part of life. Your boss can be annoying, money can be tight, and health concerns can pop up unexpectedly.  In these moments, it’s crucial that you have a special space that you can retreat to. I heard about a teacher who created a "Quiet Corner" in her classroom. The corner was designated for students to relax or think when something stressful happened to them.  One morning, a usually animated student entered the classroom and headed right to the quiet corner. He took ten minutes, and then ten more minutes. He was unusually quiet and still.  When his teacher asked him if he ..read more

When did eating become so complicated? Low-fat, low-carb, juice cleanses, keto, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, no sugar, gluten-free, organic, non-GMO, and the list goes on. When was the last time you tuned in to your body to see how hungry or full you felt? When was the last time you received enjoyment and pleasure from a meal?  Our mind loves to act like a hyperactive referee. "Too many carbs on the field!  Eating out of bounds!"  Our internal referee is so restrictive we can hardly take a bite without getting into trouble. We can’t enjoy the game of life because we’re so worried about b ..read more

Most of us are familiar with the midnight ride of Paul Revere. He rode through the Massachusetts countryside to alert John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the British were coming.  Imagine how desperately Revere rode. His entire life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness depended on his success. It is with the desperate and passionate spirit of Paul Revere I want to present this week’s challenge: REVERE your body.  What if we were to revere our own bodies as desperately as Revere rode that night? What if we were to believe that our own life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness didn’t depend ..read more
