How do you deal with negative thoughts?

Or more importantly, do you deal with them at all?

Often, we think that our inner critic is just a fact of life, and we have no choice but to listen to it. 

But what happens when that negative voice is so loud, all your positive thoughts start to sound small and distant?

We’ve all been there.

The day after a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, a night out at your favorite restaurant or even that afternoon when you ate the whole box of cookies after a frustrating day at work… 

“Oh, I shouldn’t have done that”

“That was way too much… but that cake was sooo good!”

“Why can’t I eat like a normal, or thin person?”

…

“Don’t go. You don’t have time. You’re only going to come home to more work and more stress.”

I almost missed the moment that changed my life for good.

Every year since I was 18 years old, I would attend my mother’s 3-day immersion training. 

I loved going because it meant spending time with her and my grandma, and the only the only years I missed were right after having each of my 3 kids when they were still breast feeding: Allie, Joel and Joaquin. 

When I thought of taking…

Taking a “leap of faith” is often associated with risk and reckless behavior, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. 

Making a successful leap of faith can be absolutely life-changing, especially when you are taking bold steps in the direction of your dreams to more fully live into your purpose!

There are many ways to take a leap of faith, from starting a new career, to jumping back in the dating game to find a loving life partner, and more.

And while you’ll still experience trial and error, there’s a proven system to…

You might feel like you have so much on your plate…

Maybe you’re a full-time mom, an entrepreneur, a corporate powerhouse, or all of the above! Yet even the most sedentary people complain about feeling worn out, tired and sluggish from time to time. So what’s the deal?

After all, being tired is about the quantity of things you have to do, right?

As it turns out, there are a number of surprising reasons why you’re feeling tired and sluggish, and they have a lot more to do with the quality of…

Imagine having a life-long friend that has experienced every single moment with you and knows you better than anyone else in the world…

…but makes it a point to remind you of your flaws and failures every chance they get. 

You probably wouldn’t want to be around someone like that!

But as much as you try to shake them off, they only fade into the background…

Just to come back right as you’re about to try something new – or make a significant change – or take a risk!

On paper, health and confidence looks like a solid, straightforward plan. But in reality, no matter how much research, calorie-counting, or fitness fads you follow… 

Most people end up back where they started. 

In my 20 years of working in the health and wellness industry, I’ve noticed why even the most genuine, motivated people can struggle with their weight loss goals – it happens when they focus solely on their physical goals and neglect the emotional – spiritual – and mental elements of healing their body temple.

If you’re in a similar…

Do you find yourself turning to junk food or comfort foods during uncertain times?

Perhaps you reach for a pint of ice cream, a bag of chips, or a box of donuts during stressful events, or you find yourself engaging in mindless eating of unhealthy foods when you’re feeling uncomfortable emotions?

If you’ve ever wondered where all the popcorn went when you’ve reached the bottom of the bag while sitting at the movies or in front of the TV, you’re not alone! You’ve experienced “unconscious eating.” 

Food cravings and binge…

Are you facing mental, emotional, or physical burnout? And perhaps you know that this is an important moment for you to pause and hit that reset button, and maybe reach out for help to make your mental, emotional, and physical health a priority?

If you’ve been watching this Summer Olympics in Tokyo, most likely you’ve witnessed some of the most incredible bravery of all time.

And one of my favorite stories is that of gymnast Simone Biles.

The world watched in shock as Simone Biles, one of the most decorated gymnasts of all time,…

It’s bathing suit season again! Are you bikini ready? Are you beach body confident?

What do you think and feel when you hear those words? Delight or dread?

When I was a professional modern dancer in my 20s, you would think that bathing suit shopping was fun, right?! Not at all.

Because I suffered from an over-active inner critic, bathing suit shopping was stressful and dreadful every summer. Sometimes I’d even walk out of the dressing room crying because I felt so bad about my body. And I was actually underweight at the time.
