Do you eat your overwhelm?
Oh boy. Today was a day of overwhelm for me. I haven't experienced that level of overwhelm for a loooong time. Since I had no clients booked in today, I had planned to write my blog post, and do some planning for my upcoming Eating Mindfully course in the morning. In the afternoon I'd planned...
Read morePlanting roses & why ‘positive thinking’ isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
It's not so much that I think 'positive' thinking is a bad thing - it's not destructive or harmful in any way - but I do wonder sometimes how useful it is. If you're believing you're useless and pathetic at say controlling your eating, or that you're an utter failure because you've just finished...
Read moreDo you think ‘I’m fat!’?
I've written before about 'feeling fat' - if you haven't read that yet and you're interested, it's here.

I'm passionate about helping you break free from the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting, body shame, overeating, bingeing, and emotional eating.
For decades, I was at war with my body and food.
