From Ugh to Ahhh – shifting our internal dialogue
“Oh my God, look at your thighs, they look like cottage cheese!” “Ugh, your saggy mummy tummy is so disgusting.” “You will never get that job, you don’t have what it takes.” “Get it together, other moms can do it, why can’t you?” Has anyone ever said something like this to you? What if someone […]
LiveMore WeighLess – My Success Story
My Success Story for LiveMore WeighLess: I have been on a diet for 25 years and in body jail my whole life. I quit dance class when I was 6 years old because I felt self-conscious wearing a leotard. I quit swim lessons in grade nine because I hated wearing a bathing suit. I went […]
Redefining Perfection, Starting with my Family Photos
We’ve all done it – paid the big bucks to dress up in white shirts, jeans and bare feet and be posed and moulded into the perfect family photo. In between shots the kids are melting down, you are starting to sweat through your shirt and grit your teeth as you smile and your husband […]
Clear the path ladies and make way for your desires!
When I worked for the Federal Government I knew deep down in my soul that this was not my path. When I was on maternity leave for the second time we took a time out from our lives (which turned into THREE years!) and moved to Nelson British Columbia, a beautiful mountain community where I […]
A Recipe to Ignite Your Life
Have you ever taken a moment to take stock of your daily routine? Do you take the time to make sure your needs are being met and that you are cared for? Do you even know what I am talking about? Usually we turn our focus inwards when something isn’t going the way we want […]
Magical Manifesters!
Back in the Spring I was working full tilt. I was diligently studying, building my website and brand and really digging deep to reshape my business. I was participating in a couple of business and lifestyle related e-courses and had hired a coach. On top of all of this, I was taking care of my […]
After 25 years of dieting the verdict is in…
I cannot remember a time until recently that I felt comfortable in my body. My whole life I have shied away from my femininity and instead harshly focused on my weight. I was in grade 8, just 12 years old, when I went on my first diet – and I have been on a version […]
Bringing Paradise Home
As a part of my Eden Energy Medicine training I am required to travel to Phoenix Arizona periodically. My first venture out into this heat-wave laden dessert territory was back in March this year. I am always up for checking out a new part of the world, but what I didn’t expect was to be […]
Your Personal Soul Shaker
I always had a pretty keen sense of what I didn’t want out of life, but figuring out what I DID want proved to be pretty difficult. What do I stand for? What do I love? What inspires me? What do I want? These questions proved to be quite elusive. I wandered down the path […]
It is Time to F-Around
Last week my girlfriend suggested a picnic in the park. Not just any grab an old blanket and some sandwiches picnic, but a NO KIDS ALLOWED mamas-only evening picnic by the water. This started to conjure up images of flouncy dresses, sun hats and parasols (or perhaps that was my binge-watching of Downton Abbey – […]
