Have you ever felt like a fake? If you said yes, I can emphatically say, me too. In fact, I felt this way more than I even realized — until recently.
About three months ago I was on a walk. The gift of the gorgeous day was a bit lost on me as I murmured grumbled prayers over a series of physical injuries that were plaguing me. I felt as though every form of exercise, even walking sometimes, was being taken from me. I simply couldn’t understand why the Lord seemed to be stripping away every...

With the world at our fingertips (smart phones), we don't have to look very far to feel bombarded by all of the food "rules" and opinions about what to eat. If you are like me, you probably feel fed up with all of the contrary opinions and extremes that are being marketed as fact. The truth is, I have seen far to many women (including myself), hurt by diets, food “rules” and a culture that idolizes body and food. I believe we enjoy food in its place and care for our bodies without making it...
Whether you are curious about what to invest in for exercise at home, at the gym, or while travelling, I've got you covered!
We all know that there are a few basics needed to be prepared for your exercise. Proper-fitting shoes, comfortable clothing, a towel, and a water bottle are something everyone understands the importance of having, but what about the little extras that can make all the difference in your performance or enjoyment? When you are spending money on a gym membership,...
“Joy to the world.”
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”
“Have yourself a Merry little Christmas, and let your heart be light!”
Most of us are familiar with, and even appreciate the Christmas sentiment. If you're honest thought, do you find it difficult to keep in consistent good cheer and peace during the holiday season? Despite your best intentions and aspirations, do "joyful" and "jolly" feel a bit out of reach? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, I’ve really been spending time with...
When it comes to the Holidays, we all want to be able to relax and enjoy time with family, friends, and co-workers. It is true that the Holidays are about more than our favorite special food and beverage indulgences, but it is also not realistic to think we need to avoid our favorite splurges entirely.
Most of us end up with more than enough parties and gatherings to satisfy those Holiday cravings, and that's where it can often get tricky. If we aren't mindful about our choices, by the time...
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. If I'm honest though, that wasn't always true. In fact, when eating disorders were a real struggle for me, I would experience anxiety over the very thought of Thanksgiving for weeks leading up to it. I would get anxious because historically Thanksgiving was a day when my eating disorder spun out of control. The day would inevitably end with me feeling sick and ashamed. Now, on this side of healing, I’m so thankful to be able to celebrate the...
Making positive changes is so exciting in the beginning stages, but it can quickly become overwhelming for any number of reasons.
First, it could be difficult to know exactly what action to take. Just do a google search for "how to XYZ" and you'll find what to do, what not to do, and then someone else will tell you to do the exact opposite! There's so many different thoughts and ideas from experts about what is the "right way" to approach something that analysis paralysis can take over. When...
