Anti-dieting Myth Busting Webinar

On this week's episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Jess of Pretty Prints and Paper. Jess is a blogger, teacher, bullet journaling & hand lettering enthusiast and all around creative boss lady.

Something I love about Jess's work & blog is that she always keeps it simple. It's really easy to get wrapped up in "not having the right tools" or "messing up" when there's a blank page in front of you. But she does a great job at bringing it back to the basics while continually producing inspiring & aesthetically pleasing work.

• Her journey into a creative practice
• The importance of setting intentions
• Using creativity to strengthen intuition
• walking the fine line between inspiration and copycatting
• How bullet journaling has helped her develop a self care routine

You guys already know what I'm about, but I wanted to share a story that I haven't really shared outside of my close personal circle. In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2017 and their theme, Let's talk about it, I felt it was time to share MY body story; my struggles with food + body image.

Something I care so deeply about is helping other women who struggle with feeling happy in their bodies + feeling like the boss around food. And while my advice + encouragement have the potential to help struggling women, I'm hoping that my own journey through all this messy stuff will take that advice + encouragement one step further; I'm hoping that my story will provide motivation + TRUST as you work through all of your own messy food + body stuff.

• My relationship with food + my body as a child and into my teenage years
• The types of pressure I felt, as many other young women do to be perfect and look perfect
• How the diet culture crept into my own mind and paved the way for my disordered eating habits
• My journey through vegetarianism and veganism
• How dieting and being "healthy becomes a part of our identity + source of bonding
• When trying to be "healthy" turns into an obsession
• My rock bottom
• My 4 truths; the things that keep me from returning to the dieting + disordered eating
• My upcoming course Body Truce; another tool to help you work through your own body history
