I am currently taking a short summer break from writing new blog posts, but I want to share with you a few posts from my archive that I think you might enjoy. These posts reflect my thoughts on a few of my favorite topics. Happy reading!

I feel it is part of my responsibility as their mother to teach them a loving way to talk about our bodies without creating an environment of shame.
Exercise Is Not Punishment
Exercise has always felt like punishment and my body the crime. It is not an exaggeration to say I spent most of my life loathing my frame. I wanted it to look different, take up less space, feel less challenging. My body was a problem to fix, and if I could only exercise (or diet) enough to fix my body, then I believed I would be enough.
