Are You Hungry For Happiness? Follow Me On My New Journey

If you have read my blog from the beginning, you already know that I did something terrifying last year. Something that made me feel so exposed. I literally had to hide my phone because I was fearful of people’s reactions and responses. Little did I know that embracing my fear would open so many doors for me. It introduced me to so many amazing women and lead me down a path of even more healing and hunger for happiness. When was the last time you did something terrifying? Scroll down to the bottom and let me know in the comments! …

2021 Vision

Hello 2021, and hello everyone! I have been absent for 6+ months. As much as I wanted to be on here blogging, journaling, sharing my thoughts, my work and journey of continuing to heal my relationship with food and my body got in the way of that. I initially started this blog with the intent of sharing my story of my disordered eating and my unhealthy relationship with my body. Opening up about that on this platform busted down so many doors for me this year. The most transformative result of my openness was my realization that my story is …

Lessons from the Past 3 Weeks

Well my previous post should have went live last week, but there was a glitch and it just got posted. So this post may seem out of context if you read in order. I keep apologizing on social media for not being as present as I was. None of you may care, but I do. Writing blog posts lights a fire in my stomach, I think I could do it all day. Instagram, not so much. Mostly because I know there are so many more people that will see my content. I struggle with that because I don’t know if …

Surrender to the things that do not serve you.

Surrendering to Our Feelings

I have been absent from blogging for the past week because I have been busy writing blog posts from other people. Which is exciting as I am getting paid to do something I just realized I loved doing. But it is also taking away my energy from my own blog. I decided I needed a break from writing for other people because I am super excited to tell you guys about what I have discovered this past week! Obviously it has to do with Surrendering to Our Feelings. If you search on Google, Surrendering seems to associate with negativity: “cease …

My Journey

My Journey to ending my 10 year battle

I don’t want to wake up in 20 years and wish I had done something when I was “younger”. Nor do I want to wake up in 20 years and still be struggling with food, body image, anxiety, confidence, comparison, shame, guilt, etc. I want to begin working on my journey to ending my 10 year battle, with all of these things. When I first posted on this blog and admitted to the internet world that I had an eating disorder, at that time I thought I was all “better”. That was only 3 months ago! But now, as I …

Consistency

Consistency in times of Inconsistency

Consistency is the achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time. Consistency is also the way in which a substance holds together. Like when I only put half the flour in my chocolate chip cookies, the consistency is pretty sticky. Here is my remix of Rachel Hollis‘ Consistency talk during her Rise X Live virtual conference. You can check out my other posts, like this one, for other info from this conference. Intensity is not as important If you are working towards a goal, working on your habits or routines, or finding your …

Cultivating Confidence

How to Cultivate Confidence

Confidence is the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something. It is also defined as a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. What is confidence? The paragraph above holds dictionary definitions of confidence. Really, confidence is your state of mind about yourself. How you feel about yourself when you are by yourself. Sure, you can also have confidence in other things besides yourself; people, or events. I have confidence in Google Maps. Confidence in my dogs barking at every noise outside. I am confident that Jose will make the …
