Plant based foods healed my skin, my gut & my relationship to my body. I had to ask myself, as a therapist and passionate foodie - how does food impact us emotionally? It goes without saying the entire reason this website exists is because I have an emotional connection to the topic of food [...]
Aloha everyone! I'm resetting monthly now. Whoop. I'm excited to see how this evolves since the monthly 5 day reset was born from the 10 day quarterly reset which was conceived just 4 years ago after a fateful encounter with tequila, chocolate cake and my sons 4th birthday. If that wasn't a mouthful... Are you [...]

I posed a question on my stories, asking what topic, if any, you'd like me to expand on. Let's start with this one: "Katie, what do I do if I fucked up my eating; how do I reset?" Here's the quick and easy answer: You can't fuck up your eating, you can only wish you [...]
Earths Pull No matter what - gravity will work its magic on all of us. The earth pulls us in - toward her center - its a beckoning. Heaven and earth are playing a tug of war on us. Let's participate. See what a simple cognitive reframe can do? The adage is, "gravity will take [...]
