Embracing Your Imperfection – The Only Path to Physical, Emotional, & Spiritual Healing

by Wednesday, November 1, 2017
Featured

I am embarrassed to admit that I spent not weeks, not months, but YEARS reading articles, pinning quotes, sharing links, following Instagram feeds, and reading books in an effort to crack the code of wellness as it applied to my life. I had what I have now heard referred to as “analysis paralysis.” I could tell you the latest research on paleo diets and their effect on reducing thyroid anitbodies, but do you think I actually applied any of this knowledge in practice? Absof*ckinglutely NOT… but my pinterest page, Chrome bookmarks, and followed accounts on Instagram would suggest otherwise.

by Wednesday, February 12, 2020
Share Your Story

 New Year. New City. New Focus.   New Year: 2020  New City: Austin, Texas (keepin’ it weird ya’ll) New Focus: Share Your Story (the glitter AND the grime)    Soooo I moved to Austin.

Relapse – A Realistic Part of the Recovery Process

by Tuesday, August 13, 2019
Relapse Road to Recovery

A lesson I wish the SAT covered: Intellectualizing your feelings and actually feeling them are NOT the same. This would likely have served me much better in life than the FOIL method for multiplying binomials.  Maybe that’s just me???  Doubtful.  Truth bomb: I’ve had an ED relapse countless times since I first acknowledged that I had a serious ...

I’m Tired, I’m Lonely, and I’m Afraid

by Wednesday, May 8, 2019

I’ve sat down to write a post no less than 20 times over the past 3 months. It’s almost comical how many open tabs I currently have in Chrome beginning with the titles like “5 steps I have taken to…”, “The best 3 ways…”, and “The most effective methods for…” I’ve been told ad nauseum from ...

Most Likely to be Yourself

by Wednesday, February 20, 2019
Superlative Be Yourself

Does anyone remember their high school superlative categories??? I had an interesting conversation with colleagues during a recent impromptu post-work happy hour.
