This Fast Will Help You Heal (And It’s Not What You Expect)

A few months ago, I noticed I was checking my Facebook feed several times a day, and it seemed to correlate with disconnection from myself. I decided to remove the Facebook app from my iPhone. I was curious to see what would happen and how I would feel without looking at my Facebook feed daily.… Continue reading This Fast Will Help You Heal (And It’s Not What You Expect)

The Trick to Healing TMS: How to Get Out of Overwhelm and into Relief

I’m so overwhelmed with the ideas about TMS, Mind Body Syndrome, and healing that I don’t know where to start. I’m afraid that this approach won’t work for me, and I’ll be the only one, ever, who fails at this. I can’t find my emotions – I feel blank. I’m afraid to feel my emotions,… Continue reading The Trick to Healing TMS: How to Get Out of Overwhelm and into Relief

Were You Hard on Yourself Today? Join the Self-Kindness Movement!

They say you teach what you need most to learn. This makes sense to me, as all I teach these days is self-kindness. When I was younger, I was beyond harsh with myself. I was downright mean. I was not one bit loving toward myself. I put constant pressure on myself to change, all the… Continue reading Were You Hard on Yourself Today? Join the Self-Kindness Movement!

Pain is A Powerful Messenger: Are You Listening?

One morning, I woke up, stepped out of bed, and keeled over from agonizing pain. I was no stranger to pain, as I’d had searing pelvic pain from Interstitial Cystitis for years. This, however, was a different searing pelvic pain. I picked up the phone and called 911. Pain is a powerful messenger. How did… Continue reading Pain is A Powerful Messenger: Are You Listening?

Healing Pelvic Pain – Vulvodynia, IC, and More

The other day, I met a woman who suffered, like me, from vulvodynia. She had read my blog and ended up working with one of my Endorsed Mind-Body Coaches. She was immensely grateful for the mind-body healing tools, because she’s now pain-free and living a normal life again. As we talked, she expressed all the… Continue reading Healing Pelvic Pain – Vulvodynia, IC, and More

Healing TMS or Mind-Body Syndrome

In April of 2014, I moved from Wyoming to Colorado. With a toddler. (I feel like that statement is an important addendum to pretty much everything. I used the restroom – with a toddler. I cooked dinner – with a toddler.) Moving is probably my least favorite thing, ever. EVER. Moving is not only stressful,… Continue reading Healing TMS or Mind-Body Syndrome

It’s Not Selfish – It’s Essential

Many years ago (just how many is Top Secret), I was in my early twenties, struggling with a syndrome called Interstitial Cystitis. (Ok, fine. It was fifteen years ago. Gasp!) I had just been diagnosed, which involved undergoing a procedure that I still can’t even talk about without fainting from horror. I was basically in… Continue reading It’s Not Selfish – It’s Essential

Killing the Inner Critic with Kindness

Do you ever have days when your inner critic just won’t stop? When you beat yourself up for pretty much everything, from your hair to your clothes to that thing you said that was really, really ridiculous (Oh God, you’re still cringing), to your parenting to your work performance…and on and on and on? I… Continue reading Killing the Inner Critic with Kindness
