Be Her Now

 "‘We have to get out of that mindset of labeling food ‘good’ or ‘bad’.   How I want you to think is, ‘This food will take me closer to feeling like my best self and to ultimate health and this food is going to take me further and further away from feeling amazing. When you can start to look at food that way, you’ll have a whole different frame of mind around it.”

In this episode, I’m dropping my top 5 tips I give my new clients to...

“If you’re not doing the internal work on figuring out why you’re running and what you’re running from every time you reach for food, you’re going to be right back at square one every time;  having gained back the weight and then some. And every new attempt takes you further and further away from what could actually end up being all you needed to do in the first place which is get in touch with yourself.”

This is part 2 of our conv...

‘In that moment when you can stay with your feelings and not leave yourself, that’s where it starts. And that is so hard to do, so instead, we stick our hand into a bag of chips over and over and over again until they’re gone, or we feel sick or we finally come to, wondering where the heck we are and what just happened.’

The question posed to me by a client that is the basis of this week’s episode was: “What do you do when you’ve a...

“When we can acknowledge the ever-so-slight affect of our everyday decisions, we can look at how this habit, over time, can put us in a downward trajectory. We may not feel the repercussions right in that moment;  maybe not a month from now or six months or a year from now, but it is taking us one direction or another.”

First we build our habits, then our habits build our lives.  Our entire life is a reflection of the things we do ...

“Any growth, any success, TRUE freedom is about taking back your power from things that happened in your past and creating your new CORE story about yourself. You are not what happened to you. What happened to you is not your fault and it doesn’t define you unless you let it.”

What if you woke up one day and realized everything you’d been telling yourself was a lie. In that moment you realize the only limitations you’ve had in your...

“Once you learn this formula and you start to question your thoughts and not just take them as fact you’re going to change your life, your relationships with people, how you parent, and how you lead. This is powerful stuff.”

As humans on our own healing journey, we can tend to misconstrue facts, interpreting others’ words or actions to give them negative meaning about ourselves. 

In this episode, I take you through a powerful formu...

“I realized that I was not unlovable. My standards weren’t too high. I was not impossible. I just didn’t realize my worth and I was letting other people define that.  My identity was tied to being a mom and a wife and a homemaker. And today my identity is that I’m a child of God.”

’Unbecoming’ who we’ve been led to believe we are requires a delicate balance of grace and action.  It’s a process of identifying and shedding the layers...

"Waking up one morning in my new place by myself as a divorced, single mom in this pretty much empty townhome... it was this weird paradox of freedom, that I had so desperately longed for, but then also that realization that it was so completely different."

The road to finding yourself again after a decades long relationship is truly a journey of ‘unbecoming’ by unlearning everything you thought you were supposed to be and rediscov...

"And it was like one of those moments where your heart just drops to your feet and you're left standing there with this information. All I could think was, 'Get it out of me... now. Get it out of my body today.'"

In January of 2017, I had just filed for my divorce and went live on Facebook to sing a message of hope. My video caught the eye of a complete stranger, who also just happened to be a nurse. The lump she saw on my throat p...

“Nobody can tell you the right time, the right decision.  You’ll know that;  as you’re growing your confidence, your courage and your clarity about your life, you’ll feel prompted to make changes.”

In this week’s episode we’ll talk about the importance of discerning the voices (people, books, media, etc...) we allow to speak into us when we’re going through trials. What we consume is who we become.  

Let’s talk about what it means ...

"I feel stuck.  Stuck in fear, stuck in excuses.  Not even sure what the next right step would be.  I just know I don't want to be here anymore."

~ me, 2016

Maybe you've been in that place.  Maybe you're here now.  And it seems like things will never change.  Today I want to bring you encouragement.  There is hope, my friend.  

If I was going to launch a podcast called Be Her Now, I needed to first be her then. Returning to that pl...
