Right now, you feel stuck…
Haunted by past mistakes
Worried that you’re not enough
Feeling pressure to be perfect
Stressed
When you’re stressed, you eat.
You hate it when you act like crabby mom but can’t stop yourself.
You often feel ugly, inside and out.
Mean comments from others wound you deeply, although you try not to show it.
You worry that it’s too late to change.
I can relate.
It all started when I was little. The pediatrician told me I was fat. While that may have been true, it was a cruel thing to say to a child and set in place false beliefs that I was defective and unlovable. Those limiting beliefs were reinforced by those around me. At home, I was forced to sit at the table until I finished my liver or (insert disgusting meal here). I was never good in gym; I became a bookworm instead. I really had no friends among kids my own age, and I felt fat, even in elementary school. When I was 11ish, some magical combination of a growth spurt and deciding to only eat half a sandwich for lunch each day led to my slimming down. But kids were still cruel. I can still recall a boy, Angelo, saying the most hurtful and mean things to me from behind the stage curtain at a junior high talent show. He flung cruel verbal arrows that pierced my soul and confirmed that I was ugly and unlovable. In high school, things got a bit better, and I got a boy friend. I fit into a perfect size 7 and felt good. I still don’t have what it took to make the cheerleading team or track team, but things were better and I (sort of) fit in. When we broke up in college, I stopped eating for a while from stress, and then heard comments from peers that I was too thin. Sophomore year and lots of beer and pizza changed that as I gained something like 45 lbs. The cycle of yo-yo dieting continued for years as did the feelings of unworthiness and feeling unlovable. My weight went up and down ~ a lot~ but the hurts I carried with me. Wounded souls don’t easily mend.
When I got married and had babies, I finally discovered true love and acceptance with my husband and family. I LOVED my babies and kids, but unfortunately, with each pregnancy came another 15 pounds, weight that became increasingly difficult to shed. I still felt fat and ugly. Most of the time I loved spending time with my kids, and we had great fun hiking, playing, and taking fun field trips, but because my cup was empty and I kept pouring love into them, I felt worse and worse myself. You can’t pour from an empty cup, after all.
When my kids got older, I went back to school and completed masters and doctoral degrees and worked in a field where I was required to pour into and serve others. But because I hadn’t filled up my own cup, and nurtured myself, I was easily triggered, and when a coworker, boss, or church member would throw a barb at me, it would wound me deeply. And I would wonder if what they thought of me were true. I didn’t have the armor of a strong defense since I had somehow internalized that self-care was selfish and that it would be wrong for me to put myself first. So I kept putting others first and kept going through the wash, rinse, repeat cycle of profound hope in others, betrayal, and deep hurts.
This cycle continued for many years and with it, an endless cycle of diets and emotional eating and drinking.
Until one day, I discovered a little known technique that completely disrupted this pattern and set me free. It was so simple, I almost couldn’t believe it was true!
Imagine how great you’ll feel…
Waking up each morning, excited for what the day will hold
Knowing that you can conquer stress and avoid triggers
Confident that you won’t self-soothe with cookies, chips, or wine
Loving what you see and who you are when you look in the mirror. Every. Single. Time.
Saying goodby to crabby mom for good!
KNOWING that emotional eating is a thing of your past!
Content with who you are and loving life!!
I discovered a combination of techniques that was so simple yet so profound. Anyone can use them, and once you learn them, you’ve got skills for life! I was able to ditch stress, end emotional eating, learn to love myself and confidently and intentionally put myself first,
It’s been life-changing and has enabled me to take care of myself and others so much better and just excel in all areas of my life. I’m confident and grounded in who I am. I’m no longer trying to find acceptance by pleasing others. I’ve lost weight and feel better than I have in years, too. It’s been magical!
Once I discovered this magical combination of skills, I knew I held the keys to help other moms ditch the stress, lose weight, and just love life!
And I committed to share this method and my joy with others!
Success!

“As a mom to two young boys, I yelled a lot! They would pitch a fit. I would yell, and things would go downhill from there! Now, yelling and anger are a thing of the past; my kids listen better, and we are a happier family. Thank you!”
“Thank you for coaching me and my daughter. Things were spiraling out of control, and I felt so helpless before we worked with you. I wanted you to know that I’ve grown so strong, and she’s doing great….I remember that you would say to me that I was a strong warrior and the Mama Bear... I’m proud to say, you were right! God is good!”
