Emotional Eating & Your Inner Superhero

March 24, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Friends, emotional eating (from feeling fearful, sad, angry, or whatever overwhelming thing we are feeling) is something that can be managed and overcome when we learn how to access the tools we need. It definitely takes practice and lots of support to “retrain our brain” but it is TOTALLY doable! I’ve been actively at work on my own emotional issues and how I can respond to stress differently than I did for so many years. It’s a powerful process, not always easy- but the healing that has taken place and the strategies I’ve gained are worth the effort. I’ve learned…

#MondayMantra Face My Fears & Kick Ass

March 21, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I’m facing down one of the scariest weeks of my life, or so it feels like. I’m launching my new program next week, and it’s down to the last few days to finish shooting and editing videos, being completely real and raw and vulnerable in them. My face. My body. My voice. My message. The voice of self-doubt has been nagging and trying to sideline me for days, the butterflies in my belly feel more like dragons, and procrastinating seems like a viable option. But not today. Today, I will face my fears- of rejection, of harsh criticism, of failure- and…

#FridayFeels Brave

March 12, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

It’s been the kind of week where I am questioning my every decision one minute to pushing my own limits the next. Question. Push. Question. Push. Mild panic. Deeper questions, push back harder. I have a message to share, and it equally emboldens me and terrifies me. It’s the driving force behind my new health and wellness project, The Cocoon – Empowered Transformation, and the reason I have been videoing myself doing a series of workouts- even though I don’t have a model’s face, a trainer’s body, and a studio to produce high-quality videos. It’s just me, my message, and…

#FridayFeels Empowered

February 19, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Earlier this week I wrote about struggling with discouragement and how important it is to reach out to your “cheer squad” when you need a boost. In doing so, I realized that empowerment comes from within AND from outside- by continually investing in positive, affirming relationships with ourselves and our closest friends. Here’s to all of you encouragers out there! You are awesome!

When an Encourager Gets Discouraged

February 17, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I’ve always been a natural cheerleader- minus the gymnastic skills and ability to do those Russian splits. Upbeat personality? Check. Big… um, lungs? Check. Contagious enthusiasm, team spirit, and a passing love of sports? Check, check, and check! Failed to make the high school drill team, cheer & song squads? Sadly, yes, check. I KNOW. I was devastated! And I definitely had a broken heart & a bitter taste in my mouth for a while after the tryouts ended. I was sure that I just wasn’t pretty or popular enough to break through the high school cliques, and that hurt.…
