If you’ve been feeling stuck lately, or like your sparkle’s just been a little dimmer than usual, swipe through this. Because I’ve been right there with you the past few weeks.

I sat down to write and nothing came. I tried to brainstorm and it was like reaching into an empty void. Only my brain wasn’t empty at all. It was overstuffed with online courses, video trainings, masterclasses, my top 9 favorite podcasts LOL, the 12 books I’m reading......leaving absolutely no room for my own voice.

So I’m doing a little intervention this week. Three simple things to reset my interior space. The first two will clear space in your mind. The third one goes deeper, into the stagnation that’s living in your tissues, the feelings you haven’t had time to process and the stress your body’s been holding onto for months, maybe years.

That third one is Deep Nourishment, a practice I created and have been teaching for 14 years. I used to meditate, but I stopped meditating entirely because this is just so much more effective. It guides you deep into your body while you learn to do absolutely nothing. The gourmet version of doing nothing. Pristine focus and deep relaxation at the same time, so your body finally gets a chance to digest what’s been stuck.

I’m hosting a live Deep Nourishment Pattern-Melting Experience this Thursday 4/16 at 6pm CT on Zoom. If you can’t make it live, or you’re seeing this after the date, no sweat, because for the first time ever I’m giving lifetime access to the recording. You could even do it nightly for a while (I certainly will be doing it nightly) Comment “Pattern Melting” and I’ll send you the link.

One afternoon in Santa Monica, October of 2007, I was guided into a practice that nourished me from the inside for the first time.

The anxious patterns of gripping and bracing and rushing that had caused me to reach for food started to melt away on their own.

Over time, I lost 65 pounds without even trying to lose weight.

No micromanaging my body, just getting so nourished from the inside that food could finally be what it’s supposed to be: food.

There was a long and painful body-hating season of my life where getting dressed for an event or packing for a beach vacation felt horrific.

I’d stand in the closet, try on four things, and as I looked in the mirror all I could see was how bloated from all the over-eating I’d done earlier that day. I hated getting ready for events, and walk out wearing the loosest thing I owned, trying to hide under baggy clothes.

Feeling unattractive only made me eat more. The war I was fighting inside my own skin feels so far away now that I have to really work to remember those days.

Now I put on a dress and I feel like the woman I always was underneath all of that. Not because my body looks different (although I do think there is something to liking how your body looks). But because how I FEEL inside of it is now a completely different reality.

This is what’s on the other side of the war with food. It’s so much more than just a number on a scale or fitting into the cute cocktail dress for date night. It’s really about the felt experience of loving being a woman in a body.
