There is ALWAYS a reason to celebrate. If you can't think of one - you're not doing yourself justice. Some days making it to the store is the reason to celebrate. Celebrations don't have to be big and they don't have to be grand. The celebration has to be personal and something YOU appreciate. Figure out something you can celebrate today!

It's my anniversary week! 17 years - OMG! While I'm sharing some favorite memories, there is something in it for you too. Ever felt vulnerable? Ever felt like you lost part of your identity? Umm... everyone's hands should be raised. I'm sharing one of my most vulnerable and embarrassing life situations, how I worked through it (not perfectly) and the lesson learned.

Ever feel like you want to hide from others? I get it. Been there done that! I've offered to take the picture instead of being in it. I've made up reasons to ditch the gathering. I've been in spots where I've judged myself so harshly that there was no return. It's no fun to hide in plain sight, especially during this time of the year. This topic applies year-round, but I felt like it was so important to discuss now as there tend to be a lot of social obligations in the month of December. Sometimes it's just not your thing and that is okay. However, sometimes it is your thing, but you're holding yourself back. Tune in to hear more about hiding in plain sight.

2023 is right around the corner! Starting a new year is always exciting -- it's also a time to reflect. I'm ready for 2023 but am grateful for 2022, rough start and all. December can be a crazy month with holidays and celebrations -- some would call it stressful. There could be pressure and a feeling of not living up to expectations. Your goal for the last month of 2023 should be to make yourself a priority and realize it's okay not to do it all. Live in the moments that happen over the next 34 days and know life isn't perfect and you don't have to be either.

Life is full of lemons - but you've got it! You can turn a lemon into lemonade. Easy. You already have all the ingredients you need. Self-love is number one. Listening to your gut is second. Relying on yourself to take steps toward a solution is last. If you were using a fresh lemon, you might remove the peel, cut the lemon into smaller pieces, or juice the lemon - you'll do the same thing to whatever issue is ahead of you. Sometimes it helps to have a visual to work through the challenge ahead. Tune in now!

Food is a touchy subject for a lot of people. We all have to eat to live, yet a lot of judgment happens around what others are eating or aren't eating. I'm curious why people feel like they should talk about what others eat. The thing about eating is that people have so many reasons for eating what they do. Just like you have a history with food, so does everyone else. It really sucks when you feel like you can't eat without someone else taking inventory or judging what you're consuming. In this episode, I share some personal stories about my relationship with food and some other fun things. Wonton-a-thon anyone? Tune in now to find out what that is and why food judgment needs to stop.
