How to speak nicely to yourself without lying.

Katie Zarko2023-12-02T19:38:42-10:00

You've learned that speaking to yourself kindly is one important aspect of self healing. You know that your thoughts and words can interfere with how much better or worse you perceive yourself. You understand that self deprecation and self sabotage start with those silent utterances in your head before they become manifest...you're also not dumb. [...]

How food impacts us emotionally.

Katie Zarko2023-07-30T12:48:58-10:00

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 [...]

The NEW 5 day reset

Katie Zarko2023-07-20T17:28:55-10:00

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 [...]

Eat BIG – High Volume eating

Katie Zarko2023-07-19T17:11:58-10:00

In this post I outline generic foods/food groups and help you to understand the caloric impact of some everyday consumption patterns. Once you gain basic sense of this knowledge it'll help you navigate what to eat (based on your health goals). Remember, food doesn't contain moral value but Doritos vs. Grapes is not a neutral comparison. [...]

My Breast Augmentation Journey

Katie Zarko2023-07-12T17:04:10-10:00

Aloha & welcome to my breast augmentation story. I'm starting with the basics, then how I documented the process (the videos I'm saving for YouTube) including week by week photos and a chart which breaks down what I did and ate every day of the first 10 days. Then I include insights. I also get [...]

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 [...]

Some days pass where I forget where I came from - I won't lie. It's been so long since I was in the throes of the eating disorder that robbed me of so much peace that all I could think about was "righting my wrongs," and "being better." As if being too present, too here [...]

Imperfect conscious decisions

Katie Zarko2022-12-12T13:05:32-10:00

It took me 30 minutes to figure out what I wanted to eat this morning. Right after I decided I wasn't going to go to the yoga studio and that I wasn't in the mood to work out my attention was drawn to breakfast - the fridge is nearing emptiness, the resources are begging for [...]

If there is one thing I do well it's feed my body. So when I opted to take a month off of social media I figured why not document just what I mean. Let's get one important thing out of the way: does everything I eat need to be organic, "clean?" (by modern societal standards), [...]
