After attending a workshop by my dear friend and colleague Maureen Kritzer Lange , I walked away with a new perspective on superpowers: we all have them! Take a moment for yourself today to acknowledge your superpower and let us know in the comments. Better yet — tag a friend with their superpower, and make their day! 🥰 ❤️

In addition to damaging the minds of our younger people and perpetuating harmful beauty standards, the use of GLP’s for sheer vanity (esp in the Gen Z generation), has caused insurance companies to limit their coverage — making it difficult for those who really need GLP’s for better health. We need to teach others that it’s ok to live in our and stop comparing ourselves to celebrity nonsense. ❤️

✨With Holiday parties in full swing, it’s easy to get hung up on what to wear — what’s trending vs. what feels like YOU. Parties are meant for people to have fun — and there’s nothing fun about feeling self-conscious or down on yourself while your friends and family celebrate around you. Trends come and go; what stays with us are the memories we make with those we care about. So forget about the pressure to conform your form. Wear what makes you feel good, and enjoy yourself! ❤️

Recently returned from seeing , the keynote speaker at the for eating disorders. She had a really wonderful message around living in your authentic beauty. It’s not what you see necessarily, it’s how you see it. We are all influenced by culture, society, beauty standards, etc. Allow yourself to redefine your standards in a way that aligns with your authentic beauty. ❤️

Fall is in full swing, and that means it’s a wonderful time to embrace food satisfaction and pleasure! 🍎🥧

We often attach moral value to seasonal treats. Recovery reminds us that all foods fit and deserve to be enjoyed without a mental cost.

This is your official permission to fully enjoy your favorite fall foods, guilt-free. Let the scents, flavors, and company be the focus - not the nutrition label. Permission is always on the table.

To hide the Halloween candy or not to hide it? That's the post-holiday dilemma many parents face! 🤷‍♀️

This decision isn't just about sugar - it touches on food scarcity, regulation, and your child's relationship with food.

Hiding/Restricting: While it seems protective, creating a "forbidden" food can unintentionally increase focus, craving, and the desire to overeat when unsupervised. This can set the stage for a tricky dynamic around food.

Leaving it Out (Access): This offers a vital opportunity! It allows for natural learning and self-regulation. It's the perfect time for discussions about:
➡️ Intuitive Eating: Listening to our bodies (hunger/fullness/satisfaction).
➡️ Food Neutrality: All foods fit.
➡️ Body Impact: How different foods make us feel (energy, mood, stomach).

My Suggestion ➡️ Offer a reasonable amount of easy access in a visible spot. This normalizes the candy. Use any questions or concerns as a positive opportunity for food education and open dialogue. And/or, you can donate some to clear the excess!

This common scenario is a great example of how a child's energy, focus, and behavior are directly linked to the food they eat. It's not about being "good" or "bad"... it's about fuel!

If you find yourself in a similar position, this is a great opportunity for gentle education! Instead of demanding they eat or only giving them one option for something they haven't eaten in the past, focus on connecting food to feelings. Try saying, "This oatmeal will give you the long-lasting energy you need to play tag and build blocks at preschool! Let's see how strong it makes you feel."

Educate, reframe, and try, try again! Leave any questions you have about difficulties you and your family may be running into this school year ⤵️
