Fun fact about me…I am a VOLUME eater!

I spent years denying this and convinced myself that less is more.

➡️Spoiler alert, it’s not.

Not eating enough won’t speed up your metabolism — it slows it down, drains your energy, and leaves you hangry.

🌟 The real midlife glow-up?
Fuel your body with enough.

Most midlife clients are actually surprised when I say, “We need to get you eating more.”

Stay tuned as I share more on navigating midlife health, all from a non-diet approach.

One that includes foods you love, foods that make you feel good, leaves you with a full plate AND a full life.

I was 12 the first time I had an intrusive thought about my body.
It wasn’t mine — someone else planted the seed.

Through high school, those thoughts got louder and became mine.
By 18, they were screaming. My eating disorder was raging.

Life kept moving, but my ED was in the driver’s seat.

From 26–29, it was the worst it had ever been.
Every day revolved around my symptoms.
My body was the smallest it had ever been — and people praised it.
My ED was winning.

Then, in my thirties, I’d had enough.
I’d lost too much of my life to this monster of a disease.
So I began to recover.

It wasn’t pretty.
I’d start, then stop.
Symptoms would come back. I’d relapse.

But somehow, I kept clawing my way out —
Day after day.
Step by step.

And now I’m here.
Perfect? Definitely not.
But alive. Free(-ish). Healing.

I still hear the thoughts sometimes.
The urges still whisper.
But the voices are quieter now — less urgent.

So I choose to swipe past them.
To keep moving.
To keep living.

✨ I just keep going. 🦋

For anyone still in the thick of it — please know there’s life beyond your eating disorder.
It’s messy, beautiful, and so, so worth fighting for.
Keep going. You’ll get here too. 🤍

Although this is AI, when I played around with this, I could see her.

I could see me.

Younger me.

Inner child work in ED recovery is a beautiful place, if you are able to go there.

It took me years to safely go and do this work with a professional, and I’m so grateful I did.

Now it is such an important part of my healing.

I take her hand every day and I talk to her.

I let her know she’s safe,
she’s loved and that we made it🫶

How can you connect with younger you?
What would you do?
What would you say?

Let her know she’s worthy, just as she is🥹

The back-to-school season can bring pressure, new routines, and a lot of noise.

ED’s love transitions. In fact they can really thrive in these spaces.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed as we head into September, try to come back to the basics:

✨ Breathe.
✨ Notice your feet on the ground.
✨ Remind yourself: my body deserves steady care.

Nourishing yourself isn’t optional — it’s part of what helps you show up fully, one day, one class, one step at a time. 💛

Whether you’re a student or a parent, the September scaries can impact us all. Here to support you through this transition. You aren’t in this alone!

Someone once said, “I didn’t recognize you,”
and they weren’t talking about my haircut.

It was about my body. My weight.
Said casually, but felt deeply.

That moment brought up old stories—about value, visibility, and what it means to be “acceptable.” And even with all my healing, it still stirred something.

This post isn’t just about me.
It’s about all of us who’ve felt like our worth was tied to our size.
About how painful it can be to be seen differently…
Or not seen at all.

But here’s the truth:
You do not have to be smaller to be recognizable.
You are allowed to evolve, expand, and take up space.

🤍 If this resonates, you’re not alone.
Save it. Share it. Or just breathe through it today.
Your presence matters—exactly as you are.

My take on the trend.

September…you’re almost here!

This can feel like a dooming time of year for many and LOVE transitions.

They thrive in spaces where you may feel out of sorts, out of routine or out of your comfort.

Here are some tips to bring your recovery with you to school…

+ if living off campus, take a tour of the cafeteria in advance, know where you can find the foods that you are accustomed to having

+ read about your school’s meal plan if applicable, get to know the places where your card is accepted

+ you may need to stick with your safe foods through the transition AND that is ok

+ if living at home, get prepared…have your safe/comfortable foods stocked up

+ plan meals with your people, these can be done in person or over video call (especially if there are times of the day that are more difficult for you to eat)

+ put reminders in your phone for meal/snack times to help keep you regulated

+ back to basics when you need to, meaning go back to the anchors in your recovery that work and you know them well

+ be sure to have snacks available, whether in your dorm or at home

+ try to find balance between life and studies (i.e not bingeing on school work!)

+ watch for your recovery red flags, reach our for support if you seeing them starting to pop up

+ keep your therapy and any recovery appointments, prioritize these as part of your wellness plan

+ get your sleep, this is such an important part of recovery

+ go easy, allow yourself some compassion to ease into this new space

No matter what September brings for you, go safely and slowly with your recovery in hand!
