The Body Confident Woman Virtual Summit: An Invitation to Discover Your Mind, Body, Spirit and Food Connection

Hello everyone,

I have been working on a special gift for you all fall and I’m thrilled and excited to finally be able to share it.  Whether you are on a food freedom journey, or simply want to feel more empowered as a woman in your body, I guarantee what I have created (at no cost to you) will take your relationship with your body to new levels of joy and freedom.  Read on to learn more!

Is this the year you finally make peace with food and your body and break up with your inner food critic for good?

Are you tired of wondering what to eat when you walk into the kitchen because your mind has so many judgments and opinions about what would be “healthy”?

Have you been on the diet roller coaster only to get off and hop on the non-diet freefall where you’re left more confused than ever?

Do you wonder if you will ever escape the mental food loops and weight obsession?

Do you have a hard time cultivating self-love and self-compassion for your body?

If you are afraid you will be struggling to feed yourself in a nourishing way without shame and guilt, you’ll be relieved to know you really can make peace with food, find acceptance and compassion for yourself and your body, and free up the time and energy to create a life you love without sacrificing what is most important to you… OR spending your life reading nutrition labels.

…. Uncovering the mystery of what might be getting in the way, is the first step!

That is why I am inviting you at no cost to  The Body Confident Woman Virtual Summit + Daily Gift Giveaway.

Your journey starts with understanding your body story.

With more awareness of what has brought you to this moment comes greater compassion for yourself.

Once we understand what drives our behaviors, we have more choices.
We can’t change our behavior from the same energy that created it.

This is why conventional diets fail. From an energy of discouragement and pain, a restrictive diet that someone else designed further disconnects us from our wisdom and joy. That path is bound to lead to more pain and discomfort.  

Conventional diet culture also has us striving to attain a cultural aesthetic ideal that may not allow for our natural beauty.

At the same time, non-diet culture tends to encourage letting go of all the “rules” and can send us into a tailspin of overwhelm.

What is a person to do if they simply want to have more energy, feel good in their bodies, and trust they are taking the best care of themselves that they can in each moment?

To answer these questions and more, I have curated an expert panel of industry leaders on the topic of non-diet food freedom and created an amazing experience for you.


Inside The Body Confident Woman Virtual Summit + Daily Gift Giveaway, join me and a devoted group of wayshowers who will help you to understand your food motivations, fall in love with food again, go on a spiritual quest with food as an awakening and fill your heart with love and compassion for the tender you who has always been trying to survive. They have been in your shoes and have infinite wisdom to share and the ability to model for us how to tap into our own wisdom.

This event includes pre-recorded conversations that will help you find food freedom using mindset and eating strategies that recognize we are all unique and celebrate our differences.  

It also includes Food Freedom and Body-Peace Gifts Every Single Day,


This is for you if…

  • You want to make friends with your inner food critic for good.

  • You are ready to leave restrictive diets behind or have already left them.

  • You are curious about how to incorporate a more intuitive eating style into your life and yet you don’t want to put your health at risk with free-for-all all eating patterns.

  • You want solutions to common eating issues coming from doctors, therapists and healers who have been where you are and can show you the way out.

  • You are ready to explore your food story and expand your  self-awareness around why you do what you do.  

  • You want to feel more vibrant and vital, have more energy, and reclaim your power.

Having a body is not always easy. We’ve been cut off and distracted from our wisdom and knowing how to take care of our body.

That is why events like this are so valuable. When you listen in, you will feel FAR less alone and even if you grab just one gold nugget of wisdom it will be worth it because that ONE bit can be the thing that catapults you into a whole NEW level of ease, joy and freedom.

When you join us, you will learn how to have a growth mindset to address ease with food and your body.

  • Open and honest dialog around weight concerns.

  • What do food and sex have in common and how you can apply teachings from one to the other?

  • The food and body journey as a path to spiritual awakening.

  • What is neuro-somatic intelligence and how does that help us understand our relationship with food?

  • How can we support our mental health by improving our relationship with food?

Whether you are feeling extremely uncomfortable in your eating habits or just know you are spending more energy than you would like thinking about your food and your body – you will discover THE very latest mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual practices to help you deepen self-trust and develop a NOURISHING connection with food + your body, so you can transform emotional eating and endless judgment into ease, joy, clarity, and freedom!

What Energy is Behind Your Food Behaviors?

What Energy is Behind Your Food Behaviors?

I often share with clients, it's not the action you take that's important, it's the energy you are coming from.

Lately I am getting more interested in internal family systems (IFS) as a therapeutic tool for healing.

IFS has a way of helping us understand our behaviors and energy that I thought you might find helpful.

Let me give some you examples with regard to food and body.

How Does Being Pissed Off at Diet Culture Impact Your Health?

How Does Being Pissed Off at Diet Culture Impact Your Health?

I first realized I had a challenging relationship with food back in 2012-2013. Before that, I thought everything I did to diet and exercise was "normal".

When I started to consider that maybe I had a disordered relationship with food, I found Intuitive Eating. This lead me down a path toward body positivity, body acceptance, Health at Every Size, and fat activism.

It all began with recognizing and rejecting diet culture.

You Can't Rush Your Healing

You Can't Rush Your Healing

A few weekends ago, I spent some time with my sisters. We have an amazingly supportive relationship and they are my best friends. But that's not the point of the story.

I also titled this post "You Can't Rush Your Healing" because that is what it's about and because I love the song by Trevor Hall. And then I realized after I wrote the whole post that the reason my sisters and I got together was to go to a Trevor Hall concert. Isn't it funny how everything is connected?

Practicing What I Preach: How Life Coach Training Helped me Navigate Two Weeks of Vacation with my In-Laws

Practicing What I Preach: How Life Coach Training Helped me Navigate Two Weeks of Vacation with my In-Laws

I'm back! And wow - my latest trip was an incredible opportunity to practice what I preach and also observe what people do with food while on vacation.

In case you missed my blog post on Iceland, I’ve been modeling in my blog how my training as a life coach and my years of personal development work have been paying off and helping me navigate challenging and yet rewarding experiences that I wouldn’t have wanted to miss.

Since my work is about healing our relationships with food and body, I will write a future blog post about vacation eating. What I saw on this trip validated the need for an intuitive relationship with food and body and gave me a great framework for explaining what that looks like.

Did you see Adele on Oprah?

Did you happen to catch Adele in concert last week? She did a two-hour solo concert which included an interview with Oprah.

The music was powerful and I was enraptured by her story as tears often rolled down my cheeks.

I have written about Adele before. You can read that blog post here if you are interested.

So many people want to make her story all about her weight.

As she said in her interview, the story is not about weight.

She lost some weight. And someday she might gain some weight.
What her story is really all about is the journey she took to find herself.

She left a marriage where she wasn't happy even though it was the last thing she wanted to do. She explored a troubled relationship with a father who drank. She spent time by herself and with people who love her.

And now, she is in a relationship where she said it's the first time she has loved herself first.

Loved herself first.

That is what the story is all about. Loving yourself first.

It's amazing the myriad of ways that we can find to distract us from even coming close to that. We shop, we eat, we drink, we numb.

For some reason, it seems so much easier to do that than to do the work to really set ourselves free.

That's why I love stories like Adele's because it's a great example of what we are really here to do.

We are here to find ourselves and be the most authentic version of ourselves that we can be. From there comes everything else.

Money, relationships, and health all come from us showing up as the truth of who we are. That is our only job.

I also just finished Rich Roll's book - Finding Ultra and it's the same story. This is not about a man who lost weight. It's not even really about the physical feats he has accomplished or about how he eats.

The true story is about how a man found himself and choose to live true to himself and stop pretending he was something he wasn't.

Once he uncovered and allowed who he really was, he found all kinds of greatness there as evidenced by the joy and level of engagement he now experiences on a daily basis and shares with the world in his popular podcast.

This is what this work is really all about.

In Rich's book, he also describes the training method his coach came up with to help him train for the Ultraman race that he wanted to compete in.

The training protocol was "slow down to go fast."

This is the exact same protocol that is required to find ourselves. This is not a 30 day for a new you. It's not a quick fix or a fix of any kind.

It's a discovery process. It can be painstaking. We might not even know what we are looking for. But we are never going to find it if we don't take the time to slow down and go within and start to ask the questions that are going to lead us to our answers.

Going from diet to diet is running away from the true solution to what is really bothering us. And what is really bothering us is all the ways we are pretending to be something that we aren't and we are selling ourselves short in the process.

Pretending is painful and requires lots of comforts to ease our pain.

But we don't have to suffer. We can be free.

It starts by making a choice. Am I going to keep running or am I going to turn towards myself and see what I might find? I can promise you won't be disappointed by what you discover because I already know that every single person is powerful and magnificent and capable of being and doing anything that their heart might have been wanting all this time.

Everyone has the power. Everyone is amazingly unique brilliant and gifted. And when we all let that light shine without apology, oh man, what an incredible world that would be.

There is unlimited energy that can be found when we tap into our true selves. It's available to all of us and is already within you.

Are you ready to connect to the truth of who you really are?

Is Emotional Eating Normal?

Is Emotional Eating Normal?

Hello! I know it's been a while since I've written. I've been off exploring and learning and growing. One of the topics I've been revisiting in my own life lately is emotional eating.

So today we are exploring the question, is emotional eating normal?

Well, actually, the minute we wonder if it's normal, we have already gotten off track.

There is no normal, there is no right or wrong, there is no one way of being or acting or doing for any one person.

The question I am more interested in is - do I think I emotionally eat and do I think that is a problem?

My Trip to Iceland and Walking My Talk

My Trip to Iceland and Walking My Talk

At the end of August, I had the utter privilege of taking a trip to Iceland with my family (my husband and 3 kids, ages 20, 17, and 14) for a week's vacation. We were drawn to Iceland for its rugged beauty and closeness to nature. My husband put together all the details and researched at length what we would do and where we would stay.

Interestingly, I never asked him for many details before we left. I think maybe subconsciously I was afraid to hear what he was planning for us!

I knew this trip would be challenging for me. I wasn't sure if I would have the physical strength to do everything everyone wanted to do, and I am not an adventurous person at heart.

Glennon Doyle Struggles With Food Peace Too

Glennon Doyle Struggles With Food Peace Too

A friend and client recently pointed me to the Glennon Doyle podcast and thought I might enjoy listening to the episode titled "Our Bodies: Why are we at war with them and can we ever make peace?"

You can google Glennon Doyle to learn more about her, but many people know her from her book Untamed.

Untamed is about how we can quit pleasing others in order to start living and find freedom and joy in life. It's the same message I love to share in my work with clients making peace with food and body.

Dear Doctors Who Prescribe Weight Loss

Dear Doctors Who Prescribe Weight Loss

I know that you care about your patients. And I know that you have very limited time with them. I also know you have been told to tell them to lose weight for their health and I know it's true that weight can sometimes be a factor in health issues. No one is denying that.

I also know that you might be making some assumptions about your client when you see what they weigh because you don't have time to really get to know them or their habits.

As an alternative, I would like you to know what my clients have experienced with regard to their health after following a non-diet approach to wellness that is not weight focused.

Media Minute - Bright Lines Eating Review

Media Minute - Bright Lines Eating Review

This post is a review of Bright Lines Eating - a book and program by Susan Peirce Thompson.  In case you do not wish to read any further, I'll save you some time. This program is, unfortunately, teaching people how to have an eating disorder while upholding and supporting fat phobia and weight stigma. Please avoid if you want to have a healthy relationship with food and your body.

Why Intuitive Eating Works

Why Intuitive Eating Works

I have been thinking about you often and wondering how your journey with food and body is going?

I also have another podcast episode to share with you. This episode is with Tammy Lantz of the Love Food, Love Yourself podcast and is about Intuitive Eating and the spiritual path.

I have been deep into some new classes lately and as usual, I love to apply the material to food because how we do one thing is how we do everything.

One of my favorite teachings from the past few years is the necessity of having our gut, heart, and mind aligned when we take any action.

Gentle Nutrition is Not Diet Culture

Gentle Nutrition is Not Diet Culture

Before we begin today's lesson, I'd like to share another Youtube video that I had the opportunity to record recently.

Clare Davis of Mental Health Chats in the UK has done some amazing work putting out podcasts and Youtube videos about important mental health topics like body image, eating disorders, sexual assault, and anxiety.

I recently had the pleasure of being the lead guest on her body image series which you can see on Youtube here. Enjoy!

Now then, onto today's topic.
