In this video, the second in my When Food is Your Mother online training, we're going to be talking about changing how you relate to food. Here's why and how this helps: as I spoke about in part 1, when we change how we see - our understanding of … [Read more]
Changing how you see
A few days ago, I hosted a webinar, an introduction to my When Food is Your Mother class. In the webinar, we explored what’s really underneath overeating, bingeing, and sugar addiction on a deeper emotional level. I wanted to share these … [Read more]
How to move out of learned helplessness
In my last post, I wrote about a common frustration that occurs for nearly everyone when they’re healing their relationship with food – the energy of falling into collapse. When this happens, feelings of strength, optimism, or “I can do this!” … [Read more]
Moving through collapse and hopelessness
In my last blog post I wrote about the gates of strengthening and softening – the necessary gates you walk through in order to heal your emotional relationship with food. Over the next two blog posts I’m going to write more about how to use these … [Read more]
Do you need to ‘soften’ or ‘strengthen’ with food?

Healing is a change of heart
Over the past few months, I've been writing and sharing what has become a mantra: that binge eating, overeating and other food compulsions are healed through relationship – through connection. Many of you have written to ask – this sounds so … [Read more]
The answer to food compulsions is connection
Here this week, I’m celebrating a decade of work – the 10th anniversary of Growing Human(kind)ness. This anniversary brings up much in me – namely, gratitude and wonder! In service of this anniversary, and in honor of the new year, I’ve been tweaking … [Read more]
