I like things that are surface-level ugly and broken. Like dogs with one eye or three legs- better yet if it’s a one-eyed, three legged dog. Puppies are no-brainer cute. And that’s all fine and good- but also? Easy. Don’t get me wrong- the usual pretty stuff is great. Sunsets and tulips and Christmas decorations- I love them all. But … Read More

You Are Enough.
My 5+ year career as a weight loss coach makes me cringe. It went like this: “Omg you’re down another pound?! CONGRATS! You’re amazing. This is amazing!” “Omg. You’re up 3 pounds. Ok um. It’s ok.
