✨ Gratitude isn’t silent. It is spoken, written, and lived.
Gratitude doesn’t erase pain, but it can help us notice the good that still shows up.

When life feels heavy, start your own gratitude list.
Not to ignore reality, but to remind yourself:
Both can coexist.
There is hurt AND there can be good.

Today, I’m thankful for unexpected connections, tender mercies, and reminders that God knows us - even in the waiting room of a children’s hospital, and even in hard weeks.

What’s one thing you’re grateful for today? Drop it below ⬇️

Our voice, and our actions, become our children’s voice and beliefs about themselves. ⁠
⁠
When we show them they can’t be trusted with food- they learn they can’t be trusted with food. ⁠
⁠
We do this in many ways, but one of the most common is with sugar and sweets. ⁠
⁠
A child who believes they can’t be trusted, becomes an adult who tries to control their intake, restricts, binges, and harbors guilt and shame. ⁠
⁠
If you want your child to have a healthy relationship with sweets, grab my free guide.⁠

🤍Your body is showing up for you, every single day.

Our bodies are sacred and resilient and deserve the best care possible. 

❤️‍🩹We’ve had some major health challenges in our family recently. It has deepened my gratitude for the quiet ways our bodies consistently show up.

Bodies can carry us through grief, through healing, and even through the unknown.

If you’re struggling with body image, pause and ask:

❔What has my body carried me through?

You don’t have to love every part of your body to honor it.

You can start with noticing.

You can start with gratitude.

💚 Your body is worthy of care, just as it is.
