Body-Positive Fitness, My Top 5 Tips, & Why I Created The Cocoon

August 24, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

For the past couple of years, I have been wanting- no, longing to- create a series of fitness videos for people living in bigger bodies, with a crazy twist: I don’t want you to lose a bunch of weight (unless that is something YOU want for yourself). Instead, I wanted to simply love, support, and encourage people just like me to love the body that they are already living in, and provide them with some easy action-steps to help guide them to a healthier lifestyle. I had this radical notion that I could begin to deeply, truly LOVE myself exactly…

Can Certain Foods Help Reduce Pain?

April 6, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

It’s no big secret that the foods we consume regularly will have an effect on our overall health. And while it’s true that some foods are obviously not helpful in supporting our bodies, there is just a LOT of information out there on the interwebs, bookshelves, and tv talk show circuit that is conflicting and confusing. Vegan. Paleo. Zone. Gluten-Free. Anti-Inflammatory. Mediterranean. Juicing. The Latest Magical Cleanse… Cue my emotional response: *$@#! It’s overwhelming, just give me a blanket and a damn cookie! So what if I just want to make some healthier food choices, and I’m not in a…

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…

Friday Feels: Brave

March 12, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Friday Feels: 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…

The Ninth Blessing: Fun!

September 9, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #9: I am Fun Close your eyes and think of your most fun-loving friend. Who comes to mind, and what about that person makes them so much fun to be around? What’s fun for me may not be as much fun for you, and vice versa- but so what? Fun comes in all shapes and sizes, and there are a million billion gazillion different ways to have fun! Let’s be honest- life can be pretty hard. To balance things out, we want to cut loose a little when we can. We actually need to take a break from things…
