Finding the feminine path to fulfilment *Marianne Williamson – A Woman’s Worth *Meggan Watterson – REVEAL. A sacred manual for getting [...]

Many studies have linked physical, sexual and emotional abuse in childhood to an increased risk of obesity, binge eating and other eating disorders in adulthood. This connection seems particularly strong in women. Today I read a study (1), and corresponding press release (2), which found that women who experienced severe physical or sexual abuse [...]

Recently I have been challenged in ways I hadn’t expected. Over the last 10 years I have been learning to ‘be’ with my emotions, to feel them, to allow them, to witness them change, rather than react to them via eating or other escape mechanisms. If you read my blog posts you will see [...]

Last week as I was walking the dogs a lady power-walked by with a T-shirt on that read: “Strong is the new skinny”. Slogans like this one have been going around Facebook and other internet sites. I have also seen this same slogan on photos of ‘ripped’ women in the gym doing planks and [...]

For years I found it difficult to spend money on myself. I thought it was selfish. On some level I believed I just wasn’t worth it. Spending money on my friends and family was easy, if I was out I always offered to pay, I bought beautiful gifts for the loved ones in my [...]

Today I am filled with gratitude for many things: for waking up in a warm bed (it is mid-March and still feeling like winter here in the UK), for the singing birds, for Chris and Fredd-dog, for a lovely morning walk, for hot running water….and so much more! If you are a regular [...]
