A friend of a friend, Michael Carroll, has said of meditation that “we aren’t trying to get anywhere. We’re trying to be somewhere.” The same could be said of Intuitive Eating. When we begin, we truly have no idea where it will take us. We might have expectations, wishes, images of what it will look and […]
I have always said that whatever we do – no matter how dysfunctional it may seem – it comes from a place of just trying to feel safe and OK. Now that I’m diving into Polyvagal theory, I understand that this is a biological truth. Our nervous systems evolved to protect us. The earliest iteration of […]
Why do so many of us stop dancing, playing an instrument, playing a beloved sport, singing, making art? There’s a tyranny to the idea that we should only pursue interests if we excel at them.

Taking care of ourselves can be a mind game! We have such amazing capacities, but many of the forces around us are confusing, suggesting that we can’t trust our bodies, that we’re never doing enough. Which is why it bears saying (and repeating again and again) that we should not let what we think we […]
