I was told months ago by someone that that coming forward about infidelity in my relationship would make me look like a victim trying to elicit sympathy. If you’ve been following the #RoomToGrowPodcast for any length of time, you know how strongly I feel about victim mindset (check out episode 24 in particular). So let’s chat for a minute: Sharing your story …
Have you ever sent a meal back at a restaurant? Asked for a flight upgrade? Switched hotel rooms because you wanted something specific? Something about those kinds of situations can feel, well, stressful. High maintenance, almost. At least, to me. Despite being fairly assertive, I’ve always shied away from those types of situations. Last week I was in Naples, Florida …
You know that feeling, when you’ve let a lot of your usual habits fall by the wayside and start to feel totally discombobulated, anxious and out of sorts? That was me this past weekend. I could feel the anxiety building last week and it peaked this weekend, leaving me a bit of a nervous wreck. But then I started to …
Recently I was interviewed for an article where the journalist asked me if I would help people eat according to their moral code, or if I would try to steer them in a different direction. This got me thinking about how attached we get to food and how it can do more harm than good. There are a lot …
Today feels a little…weird. This isn’t something I’ve talked about much, but I’ve had a full time job in a completely unrelated industry (automotive!) for the past 11 years. I started there part-time as a student, and went full time after I finished university, and I’ve been there ever since. Until this past Friday, which was my last day. That …
Just wanted to pop in with a little dose of encouragement this morning! Honestly, social media has all kinds of positives, but it can bring out the dark side in us too. It’s way too easy to get stuck in scrolling your newsfeed, comparing your life to everyone else and thinking that you aren’t enough. That your life somehow doesn’t …
There’s something about this winter season. Everyone I’ve talked to is either sick, getting over being sick, or has a ton of people in their life that are sick. And let’s be real, nobody got time for that! I recently got sick for the first time in years and it has been going on and off for about a month. …
Overeating at night is probably the #1 issue I hear about from clients and anyone asking me about their eating habits. They can do well all day long, sticking with a very exact meal plan (which I don’t give out, by the way), and then it all falls apart right around bedtime and it can often feel like a mystery …
I usually don’t wear much makeup, but the one beauty trick in any girl’s back pocket is clear skin. That said, it can be easier said than done. Many people struggle with skin issues whether it’s acne, breakouts around that time of the month or simply the occasional zit that pops up *specifically* at the worst possible times. Tell me …
I did a Room To Grow Podcast episode about this too. Check it out here. I’m not sure if I’m just paying more attention this year, but it seems like every where I turn, someone else is listing their holiday gift guide, and the minimalist in me cringes every time I see another one. Don’t get me wrong, gift guides …
