Spoiler alert: Your cravings aren’t a willpower Spoiler alert: Your cravings aren’t a willpower problem— they’re actually a sign of  something deeper going on. Like a check engine light going off in your body, saying SOS something’s not right here. And when you try to fix it by getting these foods out of the house, going sugar-free, or dieting, that’s like putting a band-aid on an injury that needs surgery.So while you might be able to say no to the chocolate your coworker brings you at 10am (but sometimes even that feels impossible), by the time you get home you’re in the pantry finishing off that shareable size bag of M&Ms, after promising yourself you’d just have a few. Hating yourself and wondering how anyone ever just has one cookie, feels satisfied, and moves on. Because you’re surely missing that gene.Actually the biggest difference between you and your friend who can easily pass on dessert has nothing to do with discipline or self-control. It has everything to do with how you’re eating the rest of the day and how you think about food. I’m going to guess that you try to eat ‘healthy’ (aka low calorie, low carb, sugar-free) and you tell yourself you won’t have any sweets today. And that works well. You feel good and in control.Until that 3pm craving hits and all you can think about is how you will avoid the cookies in the kitchen. Here’s the really good news: with just a few shifts in how you eat and think about those sweets, you can stop fighting an uphill battle against your cravings and actually eliminate them. For good.I break down the 3 simple (yet proven) steps you need to take inside my Crush Your Cravings Guide. These are the same steps that have helped my clients be able to keep ice cream in the freezer and chips in the pantry without overeating….and even forget about them. The even better news? It’s completely free. Comment ‘cravings’ to grab it today.
Eating a salad because you wanted something cool a Eating a salad because you wanted something cool and crispy, and you’re in the mood for a lot of veggies…and you enjoy it?Great, love it. That’s a healthy choice.Eating a salad because you think you have to avoid carbs, it’s the ‘healthy’ thing to do, it fits your macros or calorie ‘budget,’ or because you think you should…and you suffer through every bite, carefully dipping your fork tips into dressing so you don’t have too many calories?❌That’s not healthy. ❌And it’s fueling that constant mental tug-of-war you experience around food, your sugar and carb cravings, and your inability to eat just one cookie and move on.🍦Eating ice cream on a hot summer day with your kids, partner, or friends as a joyful moment…and you enjoy every single bite?That’s a healthy choice.🍦Eating ice cream straight from the tub after you kids go to bed (or everyone in the house because you don’t want anyone to see you) because you…had a stressful day
‘earned it’
were “good” all day
Had a bad day of eating and you’re starting over tomorrowOr because it’s there and you can’t stop thinking about it.Hating yourself more with every bite….but you keep eating even when you’re full.❌That’s not healthy❌The thing is, two people can eat the same exact thing and have very different experiences, very different reasons, and very different physical and mental health outcomes from the same food.And interestingly, my clients who stop dieting, stop restricting, stop looking at food as good or bad, ditch all the rulesAnd instead, start focusing on how food feels in their body as well and choosing satisfaction over deprivation
These women end up eating far more produce and other nutritious foods and far less sugar and processed foods naturally without willpower.And even more importantly, they feel way less obsessed and distracted by it all. And can actually live their life.Because at the end of the day, if your focus on food (and what you can and can’t eat) is taking you away from living your life…is that really worth it?
I do all of these things because I’m human.No I do all of these things because I’m human.Not often, but they still happen.The message around intuitive eating is often that you’ll completely stop doing these things (and you may have even thought that from my content). But that’s the perfectionist mentality and I would be lying if I told you once you become an intuitive eater you’ll always eat when you’re perfectly hungry, stop when you’re perfectly full, never ever emotionally eat, and feel great about your body 100% of the time.That’s expecting something that does not exist.✨The difference is though that none of these things send me into a spiral of guilt, shame, or feeling like I’m a failure. That’s because I’ve separated my eating habits and my body from my self-worth. And I know exactly how to move forward.Most of the time I just completely move on without much of a thought.Sometimes, these things are a signal that I need to make a change to my schedule, planning, eating environment, or self-care.Other times I need a little extra attention on my body image.None of this is bad, it’s just part of being human.If you’re on an intuitive eating journey remember that every ‘mishap’ is just information. In fact we learn way more when we get things ‘wrong’ than when we get them ‘right.’Stay curious about why it happened because that will give you the information you need to make it less likely to happen again.
You’re not broken, you don’t just love food th You’re not broken, you don’t just love food that much, and you’re not addicted to sugar…even if it feels this way.If you struggle with cravings and feeling out of control around sweets and carbs, I’m going to guess you’ve made countless attempts to fix the problem.❌cutting out sugar
❌eating low carb
❌going gluten-free
❌counting points or calories while tracking every bite
❌telling yourself you’ll just have oneAnd every time you eventually end up giving in and one cookie turns into 10.So now you’re trying to ‘listen to your body ‘thinking that’s the solution to stop cravings — to eat whatever you want, right?Nope. This is just simply wrong.Because cravings aren’t the issue, they’re a symptom of a deeper problem.You need to address the reason behind your cravings—why does your body ask for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s every night? Instead of trying to ‘fix it’ with strategies that only fuel the fire.That’s exactly what my brand new Crush Your Cravings Guide will help you do.I’ll walk you through exactly why you crave sugar and carbs — what your body and mind are really communicating.Then I’ll provide you with the exact steps to eliminate cravings for good.Comment ‘CRAVINGS’ and I’ll send it to you.

5 years ago (Monday), I was laid off from a corpor 5 years ago (Monday), I was laid off from a corporate job that I never would have left myself.I enjoyed it, it paid well enough, I loved my boss and team, and it worked for our family. It would have been stupid to leave, but it also was not my calling.The world was shutting down, our team mostly eliminated, and suddenly I found my self as a stay at home mom (a title I never expected), frantically applying for jobs I didn’t even want and trying to figure out my next move during nap time…And leaning into a side hustle I’d been running on nights and weekends for years.A side hustle I only dreamed would become my full-time gig, but never thought it would.5 years later and it’s wild to realize that this one fateful phone call from my former boss has led to helping hundreds of women take back their lives by✨making peace with food so they’re no longer consumed by obsessive thoughts about what they can and can’t eat
🥑Learn to take care of and trust their bodies by fueling and nourishing them properly so they are thriving (not just surviving)
😖Stopping the guilt and shame spiral by eliminating cravings and the binges or emotional eating spirals that follow
💁‍♀️Learn to appreciate and accept their bodies for what they can do rather than obsess over what they look like
👶 helping their little ones eat more variety so they can reduce mealtime stressIf you’ve been here since the beginning, you know it hasn’t been a straight line. In fact, you might have originally joined my world when I focused solely on making mealtime easier in motherhood (without hours of prep)—I still do this—it’s a part of all of my programs.While the road was windy, I feel so lucky to get to do what I do every single day. It’s truly where I’m meant to be.Thank you for being here. For supporting me. For trusting me to help you. And for making it possible to call this work my ‘job.’
