This week we're talking about going to the doctor on your own terms. You can grab a copy of the pdf I discuss here. As always, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts about this.

Here's a 3-step process for setting and defending boundaries on your Intuitive Eating path. If you are open to sharing, I'd love to hear about your experience with setting and defending boundaries (even if it's only what you fantasize about saying to others!).

Have you ever been really (like REALLY) looking forward to eating something but when you bite into it, you're like "meh!" I mean, you've been looking forward to this food all day. How dare it not meet your expectations?!!

That is the topic of this week's video: notice the gap between expectation and reality. It happens to all of us. Here's what to do about it.

Did you think I forgot all about meditation? When it comes to working with pain, my meditation practice has been invaluable. In this video I describe how and why.

This week we’re talking about working with pain from a non-diet perspective. Even though the go-to for many doctor’s is the suggestion to lose weight – and perhaps now this is something that comes up in your own mind as well – there is actually a lot more to do when working with everything from the occasional aches and pains to chronic and debilitating pain that HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEIGHT LOSS! Sorry, didn’t mean to yell. Hope this is helpful and would love to hear your thoughts.

Trusting your body and your heart-mind matters when it comes to food. It is a doorway to trusting yourself in life.

A few words have helped to both acknowledge and anchor me in my present-moment experience AND remind myself that it will most certainly change.

A little voice bubbles up inside when I find myself in situations like this. As horrible, painful, and hateful as they may be, they won't last.
