You Are More Beautiful Than You Think

In honor of Maternal Mental Health Month and Mother's Day, I'm writing to all the women who think less of themselves.

Every day, I witness the pervasive disconnection that women experience from their bodies. From a young age, we are conditioned to reject our natural forms, relentlessly pursuing an ideal shape and appearance.

How many of you are seeing more ads on social media for intermittent fasting, intuitive dieting (not a thing, btw), and fitness regimens for that beach body? This time of year seems to spur Diet Culture into overdrive and we are all the victims.

Much of therapy and the healing process includes addressing and challenging limiting beliefs and narratives that we have created about ourselves over the course of our lifetime

Practicing self-love in a world that makes it really, really hard to love yourself exactly as you are is a tough journey. I feel it.

Rather, I’m switching gears to a more timely topic as we hit the stride in the new year. New Year’s resolutions/intentions/manifestations a LOT of time hover around being “healthy”. For a lot of people healthy = weight loss.
