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…

Emotional Eating & Your Inner Superhero

March 24, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Friends, emotional eating (from feeling fearful, sad, angry, or whatever overwhelming thing we are feeling) is something that can be managed and overcome when we learn how to access the tools we need. It definitely takes practice and lots of support to “retrain our brain” but it is TOTALLY doable! I’ve been actively at work on my own emotional issues and how I can respond to stress differently than I did for so many years. It’s a powerful process, not always easy- but the healing that has taken place and the strategies I’ve gained are worth the effort. I’ve learned…

February 8, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Sometimes it feels scary to try something new, and that’s when the internal critic starts trash-talking us, pointing to past failures or creating fear-based scenarios. ENOUGH already! Empower yourself today by introducing this mantra: “I will decide what works best for me. I make great choices.”

The Seventh Blessing: Patience

September 7, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #7: I am Patient Oh, man- not gonna lie, for me this was/is one of the hardest and requires the most work. Growing up, I always seemed to have one of those “hot” tempers. I half-jokingly blamed it on my heritage and passionate blood coursing through my veins. That may or may not have some truth to it, but I don’t have a shred of scientific evidence to back it up. I do have memories of the feisty, fiery-tempered mom who raised me, though. She was a petite, beautiful ball of energy and as much a fighter for what…

The Sixth Blessing: Kindness

September 6, 2015 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Blessing #6: I am Kind to Myself If you are anything like me, you probably have an Inner Critic who is kind of a jerk sometimes. Mean. Negative. A real ball-buster! And when he/she/it starts in on you, your inner monologue becomes a stream of insults, angry accusations, shame and painful memories on instant replay. I’m willing to bet that some of the things you sometimes say to yourself are words and phrases you would never use against your best friend, your beloved, your child- and if you did, you probably felt pretty horrible about it. It begs the question:…
