What To Do When You’re Under Extreme Pressure
“I think life is an awful lot like a pressure cooker. Something delicious is waiting for you when you release the pressure.” Sometimes, you need the pressure. You know that saying about diamonds? Same goes for cheesy broccoli & rice in the InstaPot. You don’t get to the good stuff until you release the pressure. And with that- I’m not … Read More

Working Out Feels Different When It’s a Choice
It used to be admirable to be so dedicated to fitness… so relentlessly obsessed with changing & maintaining your aesthetic. Only a woman truly dedicated to the way her body looks can understand.

Bad body image days are normal. Here’s what you need to know: -Body image is an internal issue; it will not be fixed with an external result like weight loss. -Emotions are triggered by thoughts. This means that when you observe your body and feel a negative emotional hit when doing so, the emotion you feel is triggered from a … Read More
