Want to know something funny… last year, around this time I declared that 2020 would be “the year of Heather.” That’s right, I decided to live from the heart. Oh it sounded so good in my head! I would do less “shoulding” and more of what made me truly happy. I would finally hire the…
Hey there! Thank for joining me for part 2 of my self care journey. (If you missed part 1, you may want to go back and read last month’s blog) It’s been about a month and here are three things I have learned: Self care isn’t just about bubble baths and manicures. Although those are…
I have a confession to make… I’m terrible at self care. Oh don’t get me wrong, I know what self care is supposed to look like, I just have trouble getting myself to do it. For many years, I never considered it at all. I was busy with classes, studying, hanging out with friends and…
Do you find yourself thinking, “I need to lose weight to get healthy”? Unfortunately, most of us have internalized this message to some extent.

It’s January, that means full steam ahead for the diet industry! We are being bombarded, literally attacked by commercials, print ads, billboards and even friends and family all talking about the latest diet- which isn’t a diet but a “lifestyle” thank you very much! It’s as though everyone’s New Year’s Resolutions have to include starting…

If you are reading this, you may know that weight loss is often futile, and doesn’t result in improved health. Wanting to…
Adriana from Ambler asks: Diets haven’t worked for me in the past because I get tired of the same foods or fall off the wagon. How is Intuitive Eating (IE) different? This is an excellent question Adriana! Thanks for asking There are many many differences between dieting and Intuitive Eating but the biggest difference is…
An attitude of gratitude. I look at this photo of my son and it feels like it wasn’t all that long ago that I took him to visit my husband’s grandmother’s farm. Now he has just recently started his Freshman year at Wagner College! Time flies and I hate to admit it, but i have…
Hey! I hope you all had a fantastic summer! Hopefully, you were able to get some sun, some salt water and a whole lot of relaxing and recharging! For me, my favorite places involve sand and surf but this summer I got to do some incredible hiking in the great Colorado mountains and that was…
