For All the Women That Tell Themselves To “Man Up”
It came to my attention a few years ago that I was walking around (essentially) as a dude. That’s right. A man. A guy. A ball of masculine energy. Even though you would look at me now and undeniably know that I am a woman (hear me roar!), just a short while ago, this wasn’t…
Confessions From A Former Fitness Junkie
I used to do ANYTHING to avoid working out. I don’t think it was necessarily the working out part that I was avoiding.

A couple of months ago a friend came to me beside herself: “My daughter called herself fat” She went on to say… “I don’t know where she got it from? I never talk like that in front of her. I’m always telling her how beautiful she is, how smart she is… “ “And besides… there’s…
