It is the time of year when intentions are flying!
Unfortunately, some of them are flying out the window 🤯.
Until recently, I had no idea there was an actual day in January called Quitter's Day.
😬 It kind of makes me cringe.
While I don't normally buy into things like this, especially written in such a negative tone, I have found myself more curious this year.
I do love to study the human psyche.
This year, it was said to be January 17th (ironically the very day I am writing you this email) based on data and trends related to behavior change.
The concept is based on the idea that, after the initial enthusiasm and motivation that comes with the start of the new year, many individuals begin to face challenges or experience a decline in their commitment.
This could be due to factors such as a lack of a clear plan or encountering obstacles (inner or outer) that make the pursuit of what we want more difficult than anticipated.
Not only that, if we are not careful we tend to get busy and distracted 🙋🏽♀️.
Last week in my email to you, I highlighted a slow and steady approach, and this is exactly why.
What is important to note (and the antidote to Quitter's day) is that we all have the power of awareness and hence the power to recommit (over and over again) to our intentions. Also, we can decide to make positive shifts at any time of the year.
I have been studying the art and science of setting intention from the yogic perspective for almost two decades –– it fascinates me. Many of you have joined me in my yearly mini-retreat + ritual, ENVISION, where we dive deep into this.
If you need a little intention reboot this week, check out the new SATIATEepisode where I bridge practicality, soulfulness, and a little bit of magic to remind us of some of the most impactful ways to nourish our intentions this year 🪴.
May we cherish each step of our paths.
Happy listening!

I am just thrilled to have my dear friend Sara Avant Stover on SATIATE today, sharing all about her new book, Handbook for the Heartbroken, and the solace and guidance she offers us all in times of personal and collective challenge.
What a journey it has been! Since the launch of Food and Freedom just a few weeks ago, I've been thoroughly enjoying sharing my work in a more expansive way.
I thought it would be perfect to share some of the ups and downs in an interview with my very own book coach, Joelle Hann, also known as Brooklyn Book Doctor. Joelle has been an invaluable support for Food and Freedom and has also become a dear friend and peer.
As we embrace the emergence of vibrant hues of spring, let's dive into the transformative journey of returning to our inner wholeness with this week's incredible SATIATE guest, Ruthie Lindsey.
Ruthie not only shares her love for flowers (and how they were an integral aspect of her healing)🌻💖 but also her belief that love is always inviting us back home to ourselves, our bodies, and our lives.
Ruthie Lindsey is a writer, speaker, and midwife of souls, helping people feel endeared to their own life, body, and spirit. She is the author of the memoir, There I Am: The Journey From Hopelessness To Healing.
I know you will love her and this brand-new SATIATE episode.
Have you heard of Internal Family Systems?
This therapeutic model is one that I’ve personally been working with for a while so when a renowned IFS therapist reached out to me to ask about joining me on SATIATE, as you might imagine, that was a resounding YES!
I loved recording this episode on SATIATE! We had such an incredible conversation about how to apply IFS to your eating (and beyond!!)
Terry Baranskiis an exceptional practitioner and teacher and joins me in a conversation on SATIATE that I deeply loved. I hope you do too!

Here's to the life-long inward journey of self-discovery. May we cherish each step of our paths.
It is the time of year when intentions are flying! The sad news is, most folks have already forgotten what their New Year's Intention even was.
Unfortunately, some of them are flying out the window 🤯.
Until recently, I had no idea there was an actual day in January called Quitter's Day.
😬 It kind of makes me cringe.
I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend Robin Shear on SATIATE about her work as a joy coach, and I thought it would be a fun episode to share with you over this holiday season, especially if you are someone who notices an uptick in your stress at this time of year.
Robin Shear is an international keynote speaker, bestselling author & joy coach. She helps depleted givers feel good again so they can give from a place of fullness. She gave her first TEDx talk in September and will soon travel to speak at a nonprofit conference in South Africa. She’s been interviewed in TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Psychology Today.

There is so much pain and tragedy in the world, and yet I know we are all still trying to go about our days getting our tasks done, being a calming presence for the many people in our lives, and smiling as we pass one another on the street or in the grocery store.
How can we hold both?
What would the world feel like if we could all be operating from a more calm, grounded, and regulated nervous system?
In this SOLO episode and the debut of a brand new season of SATIATE hear Sue's personal personal (and vulnerable) story of almost burnout to balance.
Call it perimenopause, my aging wisdom, or deep intuition (I am still not sure), but I started waking up in the middle of the night with a terrible panic setting in. In the wee dark hours of the night I kept having the recurring fantasy of canceling everything –– and I mean everything.
I don't remember ever having that feeling before.
Honestly, it scared the yoga pants off of me.

After reading Patriarchy Stress Disorder, By Dr Valerie Rein this summer, while simultaneously feeling the world crumbling in around us with regards to women's health (nationally and globally) and especially with regards to our body autonomy, I felt heard!

When I spoke with my friend, Dr. Jen White, on SATIATE in this week’s brand new episode, we went deep with what happens if we choose to ignore, override, or bypass what our bodies are trying to tell us (through both sensations and symptoms).
