My 33-Year Journey Through Eating Disorders, Body Dysmorphia & Healing

What if the thing you’ve spent years trying to control was never really the problem?

For 33 years, I lived with eating disorders and body dysmorphia. What began as a little girl noticing that her body looked different eventually became decades of restriction, comparison, perfectionism, shame, and an exhausting mental battle with food and my body.

But ...

What happens when the moment you’ve been waiting for—becoming a mother to your babies—looks nothing like you imagined?

For NICU Awareness Month, I’m sharing one of the most vulnerable pieces of my motherhood story: the 105 days my identical twin daughters, Elaine and Lillian, spent in the NICU after being born at just 30 weeks.

For a long time, I carried so much shame around their birth. I believed my body h...

I just got home from a family trip to Delaware with my husband and four kids—and if you’re a mom, you already know this was NOT a vacation. It was early mornings, wet bathing suits, constant snacks, overstimulation, kids melti...

Every month I tune into the energy of the collective and ask one simple question:

"What do we need to know right now for our highest and greatest good?"

The message that came through for August surprised me with its simplicity.

Not because life won't challenge you this month, but because Spirit wa...

Fear Doesn't Get the Final Say

For four years, I carried the dream of creating this podcast.

Every time I got close, fear convinced me to wait.

It told me I wasn't experienced enough. That no one would listen. That everyone already had a podcast. That I should wait until I felt more confident, more prepared, more "ready." So I listened...until I couldn't ignore the quiet calling inside of ...

Welcome to the very first episode of Reclaiming Your Light.

If you've spent years trying to be who everyone else needed you to be, this episode is your invitation to begin coming home to yourself.

In this opening conversation, I share why I created this podcast and the belief that has transformed my own life: healing doesn't begin with fixing yourself—...
