Worried about going another round with “The Quarantine 15” this Fall and Winter? Julie Long the captain of Safe Harbour Therapy and I chat about a different type of Quarantine 15...a type that helps you navigate through nonstop diet chatter while you’re working with your fridge in plain view! 🤪

The Quarantine 15. Has the Covid-19 pandemic added extra stress and anxiety around your relationship with food and your body? You aren’t alone. Social distancing, working from home, gym and yoga studio closures, isolation and a myriad of other unexpected challenges we couldn’t have imagined have...

It’s perfectly normal to be afraid to lessen your grip on counting calories, carbs, points, macros or consulting an app to see if it’s “okay” to have that fruit, drink...or whatever.

It won’t make sense to you anymore.

It's also just... Not funny? People's bodies aren't punchlines, k? 💜💙💚🌈🌞

There’s a multi multi billion $ industry whose goal is to make you feel not good enough...have a listen to my podcast interview on Conversations With Safe Harbour Therapy.

WHY CHALLENGE DIET CULTURE? Diet culture is a manufactured way of seeing the world where the shape, size and weight of a body is more important than its physical health or the mental health and wellness of the person residing in that body. Diet culture diminishes our personal power by promoting a wi...

If you started the new year with a diet and the dieting shine is starting to wear off check out my latest podcast interview...Waking up from the dieting dream... Remember, you can set a new intention on any day of the year. Including today!

The impact of dieting on physical and mental health is not neutral, it harms both. Yet diet culture sells only promises of health and happiness. The reality is a life of constant hunger, white- knuckling cravings and obsessing about food 24/7 and then ultimately disappointment and self- blame. So wh...

You know I’m not one to ridicule others but seriously... This is a gym’s email bday greeting. Actually I’m enjoying a lovely day full of gratitude for the past year and planning a walk in my favourite place to consider the upcoming year. And then am blessed to have a family party with good old birthday cake. Seriously...can you imagine- hey guys, come to my birthday, we’ll start with a HIIT workout and pretend that brownie with a candle is a cake! ...ummm...unsubscribe.🍰
