For the last 11 days on my Facebook Page, I’ve been diving deep into live video tips from my award-winning book: Lose the Diet, to help women get control of their weight (and get their life into balance in the process). It’s called “30 days of Lose the Diet”. Here’s what’s been covered in the …
Weight Loss And The War In The Middle East
Wait, what? Hear me out on this. A battle has been raging for centuries in various ways. In the Middle East, countries and cultures clash, and they’ve stayed stuck in their fighting for eons. It’s because the mindset remains unchanged: Hatred, anger, fear, frustration, division and more negative emotions continue to fly back and forth …
From Trauma To Chocolate And Savoring Life
Have you experienced trauma? I understand. My early life was in an alcoholic environment. It was an emotional roller-coaster, witnessing abuse and then loss. Lots of it. Grief showed up in many ways with the loss of my own babies (stillborn and premature), the loss of parents, step parents, several divorces, many fur babies that …
‘Tis The Season To Binge
It’s right around the corner… That time of year that people let loose and eat anything and everything they can get their hands on. It’s a “free for all”; where people feel free to let go, and let the rich foods in. Then the New Years resolutions kick in… And the regrets. “Why did I …
Women’s Love-Hate Relationship With Food Revealed

What “Busy” Really Means
We often like to tell ourselves stories. One of those stories is “I’m too busy for that”. Our heart is telling us that we really want to get that life coaching help that we’ve been craving, or to study something that’s going to take us to the next level, or read the book that might …
A Midlife Awakening
When we reach those “middle years”, we can feel that urge to transition to something different. It can start out gradually, and then get louder within us to the point that we can’t ignore it anymore. We start looking at our life through a different lens, and we start to realize that life is getting …
In My 40’s My Life Went “Crazy”
I can’t say exactly what day it was, but somewhere in my 40s my life began to change: Drastically. I really began to ask those deep questions: Who am I, REALLY? What am I MEANT to be doing with my life? And then I began to go down the rabbit hole… After all, the clock …
