Watch this video for some steps on what to say from Dr. Bumberry. And know it’s okay to stumble a little… your connection with your child is always the most important thing.

It’s January. The month we are all told our bodies need to be fixed and everyone conveniently has a “solution” to sell us. And it can be really tempting. But when you think about what you want in 2026, we hope you will shift your attention to meaningful things like relationships, joy and growth. 2026 can be so much more than a protein count.

It’s mid-December, and I AM FEELING IT. So many details and so much planning, all while still managing normal life. But guess what? These worry thoughts don’t make me more organized, don’t make me a better mom, and don’t make Christmas better for my family. THEY STRESS ME OUT. If you’re stressed too, let’s just breathe for a minute. What really matters to you about the holidays? Let that guide how you spend your time, attention and even your money.

Do you have a hard time making decisions, especially about your health or recovery? Does it feel intimidating or too “final,” so you stall or back away? Welp, we’ve got some bad news for you… that indecision is actually still a decision. And maybe even more important… not deciding does impact your behaviors. Sometimes we just have to decide, even if it’s just what the next small step will be. You can allow yourself the freedom to reconsider things in the future, but be honest with yourself. Sometimes not deciding, is deciding. And not deciding matters.

It’s Throwback Thursday!

As a therapist who works with clients with perfectionistic tendencies, Cherie knows first hand how hard her clients can be on themselves and how difficult it can be to ask for help when they need it the most. Often the lowest moments happen in private. That  is why it is so important to know how to self validate or cheerlead oneself. Because the truth is -  no one knows better than you what you need at any particular moment.

Living with an eating disorder is like living in the Upsidedown (Stranger Things reference, in case you’re confused). The eating disorder is always lurking, rooting itself in everything good and trying to keep you trapped. It’s like an evil presence just beneath the surface creating fear, making you feel like you’re not enough and threatening your very existence. But it doesn’t get to win. When you fight it with support, with courage, with willingness to learn and with persistence, YOU WIN.

Ladies, how are you feeling about all the menopause wellness info out there? Dr. Bumberry has a love-hate relationship with it. Want to hear why?

Overcontrolled negative coping often shows up as rigidity, perfectionism, or an excessive need to control emotions and behavior, even when flexibility would be healthier. It can trap a person in patterns that feel protective but actually limit freedom and connection. Just like when little Randy from A Christmas Story is bundled in so many layers of winter clothing that he literally cannot put his arms down. Instead of adapting to the environment, he is immobilized by the very strategies meant to keep him safe. Just as Randy’s layers prevent him from playing naturally, overcontrolled coping can weigh us down, leaving us stuck, isolated, and unable to engage fully with life.
