If you are living in the US, this week is traditionally kicking off the holiday season, which for many of us can be a triggering time. It's also a very confusing time. There's plenty of family gatherings and work events/holiday parties with food being a huge part of it. Yet, most of the conversations revolve around which diet Sally is starting on January 1st to "make up for the holiday meals"... So, today, I want to give you 3 important holidays reminders, whether you are in the U[...]
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 all this, but we actually never are. Our journeys are usually more similar than we think. The Questions I answer: What do you do on days where you “feel[...]
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.

I first started thinking about it back in spring and planned to launch at the end of May. But, for some reason, I kept pushing it further and further down on my goals for this year and now it’s November and I am just about to officially laun[...]

We all have that inner voice that tells us we aren’t good enough. Some people call it the inner bully, some people call it the “ED voice”, some people give that voice a name. I like to call this voice the inner mean girl. She likes to chit chat our ear off and tell us why we shouldn’t ask for a promotion at work, why we shouldn’t go on a second date with the hot guy from the other night or why we shouldn’t eat dessert. Calming the inner mean girl and starting to get along wit[...]
