reflecting on the version of me I thought I had to be vs. finding who I actually am.

from being the “healthy friend” to tying my worth to my body and identity as a dancer, this episode is all about letting go of identities that no longer serve you, and making room for more of who you really are 🤎

talking all about extreme hunger! why it happens, why it makes sense from a biological and psychological standpoint, and how to respond to it without fear.

probably things you need to hear, whether you are going through extreme hunger, or just grew up hearing all the ways to suppress your hunger (all of us) 🤍

as always, it’s easier to go through it with guidance from someone who has been there. I’m always here!

Your go-to episode when you’re needing a boost of motivation, and normalizing the fact that low motivation days are human. Talking about choosing growth over avoidance, and what I’m still working on: being present. 

I reflect on the full circle moment of speaking at my alma mater and how my identity has shifted beyond food, body, and exercise. We chat about staying motivated when things feel uncertain, why you don’t need to know how it will happen, and the power of acting as if it already is.

I also dive into the reality that motivation comes and goes, why recovery gets harder before it gets better, and how focusing on long-term freedom over short-term comfort changes everything.

This is your reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out - you just need trust, guidance, and support 💌

What happens when you reach the body you thought you wanted.. and still feel miserable?

In this episode, I’m joined by my former 1:1 client Sadie, a dancer who shares her honest eating disorder recovery story and how she healed her relationship with food, exercise, and body image.

Before recovery, her life revolved around calorie counting, food rules, body checking, and trying to maintain control. Even after reaching the body she thought would make her happier and more confident, she realized the obsession with food and weight was taking over her life.

We talk about the fears she had before recovery, the moment she knew something had to change, and what it was like to let go of tracking, challenge food rules, and rebuild trust with her body.

Sadie also shares how recovery didn’t just improve her relationship with food..it completely changed her confidence and her ability to be present in life.

If you struggle with food guilt, calorie counting, body image, or fear of weight gain, this episode is a powerful reminder that food freedom and recovery are possible 🤍

Your brain will suggest restriction as the solution. That’s what it’s been trained to do. But restriction never actually fixes guilt, it reinforces it.

So we do it a little differently around here 🤗In this episode, I am going through all of the tools you need to deal with food guilt. As you use these tools, you change the pattern of guilt, to one day no longer have food guilt at all (promise it’s possible). Tying this all together with some life updates to prove that the scary, hard changes always bring the best things into your life - better than you could even imagine 😌

Recovery isn’t about comparison or waking up one day feeling “fixed.” In this episode, I share the things I wish I understood earlier: how the mind works in an eating disorder, why perfectionism isn’t the enemy, the fear of carbs, weight gain myths, losing your period, and the power of talking about it and getting support. Sharing what I wish I had known, being the help I wish I had.

If you’re in it, thinking about it, or supporting someone.. you’re not alone 💌

confidence isn’t something I’ve always felt, it was something I built and I want you all to feel it too 🫶🏻

In this episode, we talk about why confidence can’t live in just one place (your body, performance, grades, or validation) and how real, sustainable confidence comes from multiple areas of your life. Get out a sheet of paper and write out the categories I go through! I promise those tangible items are going to bring the change you want to feel.

we cover:

-the six categories of confidence (according to me 😇)

-the principles of confidence: it ebbs and flows, self trust, your inner compass

-separating who you are from how you perform

-how to build confidence through self trust, not perfection

-the role of relationships, values, health, and self care in confidence

-why confidence can be rebuilt even if it feels completely gone right now

even if it feels completely gone right now, confidence is built through living life, showing up for yourself, and knowing your worth doesn’t change. and if you need support building it - you don’t have to do it alone (I’m here for you!!!)

In this episode, I explore how the need for control often sits beneath food rules, restriction, over productivity, and burnout.

Sharing how control has shown up throughout my life; from my eating disorder, fear of rest days, and hyper fixation on goals.. to big dreams like becoming a Rockette, building my business and navigating current dreams too 

We talk about why controlling food or productivity can feel comforting when the future feels uncertain and what’s actually helped me let go of that grip in a way that supports both my mental health and my dreams 🫶🏼

If you’ve ever felt impatient, overwhelmed, or afraid to slow down because it feels like your future depends on it.. glad you found this episode!

today’s episode naturally leads into a concept I talk about often with clients: conscious eating

I walk you through what conscious eating really means to me, how it differs from intuitive eating, and why I find it to be a more supportive, confidence-building approach.

we’ll break conscious eating down into three parts, and also talk through:

-why “feeling good” includes both vegetables and dessert-the fine line between gentle nutrition and food rules

-how to experiment with food without labeling it as “good” or “bad”

-honoring hunger, even if your cues feel confusing or inconsistent

-why it’s okay to overeat sometimes

-how comparison steals you away from yourself

at the heart of this episode is the reminder that health is about intention, not perfection, and that controlling food has never actually led to feeling good, no matter how much we were told it would.

and of course, zooming out and realizing that being intentional goes beyond food; being intentional with social anxiety, comparison, and the choices we make every day. This episode is a reminder that you are so much more than what you eat
