Yesterday, I ate my feelings. Yup. I haven’t dealt with emotional eating since my dieting days, which has been a while. But yesterday, I felt overwhelmed, had the Period blues and felt like the work I am putting into my business isn’t enough. I felt that I’m not enough. I was hungry around 4pm and my snack didn[...]
I want to highlight something that I think a lot of us are ashamed to talk about: Our desire to be intimate - either with our partner/date or with ourselves. Since I restricted food severely from a young age, my desire to experience and enjoy sex never really developed. I was ashamed of my non-existent sex drive I al[...]
When I decided I was done chasing the “perfect body” and dieting myself into the ground, I experienced a period of a few months where I ate upwards of tens of thousands of calories every single day. I would eat carrot cake for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I felt so defeated and unable to stop. My body had c[...]
If I would have seen this body two years ago, I probably would have had a breakdown - that’s how disordered I was. I would have thought that this healthy body was flawed, because it doesn’t look like the body of my then-favourite fitness model. I would have beat myself up, because I was “too weak” to follow my food-[...]
HAPPY 10th birthday to my one and only sidekick! It’s a special day for my rescue “puppy” and cutest Boston Terrier in the world, Bruce. We got him exactly 5 years ago, after he was rescued from an illegal puppy-mill. Every day, I wish we could have rescued him sooner. Still, getting to have Bruce for the[...]
Hey you! Thank you for joining me today in this Q&A podcast session.I decided to do this episode, because I get a lot of questions in my Instagram DM folder and E-mail inbox and a lot of them are very similar in nature. It makes sense, because when we go through challenges with food and our body, we tend to think we’re alone in[...]
My first interview episode is with my dear friend Dr. Claudia T. Felty. You will absolutely love all the wisdom she has to share with us in this episode, because she is an expert at intuitive eating, a total nerd with all things nutrition science (these are her own words btw), and she's obsessed with teaching others how to reach their nat[...]
I was shaking with nervousness as I submitted my Podcast to iTunes for review and publishing, but I did it! It’s published, finally! For the past few months, I have been busy with this new project of mine, because I want to make sure that I bring you the best value possible, while I hang out inside your ear buds as you clean the house,[...]
Wow, episode number 2 of my very own podcast, I still cannot believe I did it. I’ve been listening to podcasts for years now and never in a million years did I think I could pull off having my own show. But, here we are :) For the past few months, I have been busy with this new project of mine, because I want to make sure that I bring y[...]
Hi there and welcome to the Own it Babe Podcast, or… the Own it Babe Show. I am actually not sure which of the two I will choose, so I might as well use both of them :) This project – my podcast – has been in the works for a very long time. I first started thinking about it back in spring and planned to launch at the end of May. B[...]
