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…

Solstice Love Fest: Change Your Thoughts to Change Your Life!

June 20, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Happy Solstice, Loves! Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is the first day of summer, and being a Southern California girl, for me that means pure magic and l-o-v-e. ❤️ The warmer weather naturally makes me want to wear fewer (and lighter) clothes. Bare arms! Fluttery skirts! Swimwear! Booty shorts! …Okay, that last one stays indoors and only in front of the cats and/or the boyfriend. Now, I realize this is easier wished for than done when you are dealing with body image issues- something until recently I struggled with most of my life. I’ve done the work of going…

All Are Welcome in The Cocoon

April 26, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Sometimes living life in a bigger body has it’s challenges!

Craving Good Things & The Thing About Emotional Eating

March 17, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I was recently visiting with my dear friend Susan, chatting about what we are both up to and chewing on big ideas. I was enjoying a finely crafted unsweetened green tea latte, and we were remarking about how much we actually want to eat healthy foods now (with the exception of delicious, occasional French Fries, obvi) when something she said struck me like a bolt of lightning: “Bodies don’t crave junk food, emotions do.” Isn’t that just the absolute truth? Think about it- when you are depressed, sad, upset, angry, lonely- what do you reach for for comfort? A stiff…
