Hi Reader, You may have heard me share this before…but stuffing my own stocking is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I get what I actually want, it takes any guilt out of buying things for myself this time of year, and I love snagging some of my favorite and most-used items when they’re on sale. And the best part is – it can be almost anything on your wishlist that isn’t too large. Air Pods, Apple Watch, Oura Ring? Claw clips and hair ties? Jewelry? Medicube pore pads? Heated gloves? Nail polish? Perfume? When you start to think about treating yourself, it’s fun to think about what will bring you joy in the new year. Snag a few of those things and get ready for some self-care in 2026! P.S. - Still shopping for allllll the Christmas gifts?

Hi Reader, Last week, I asked you to share your thoughts on me creating a talk or resources to help support conversations around weight and body image, and the response was overwhelming. I think it was the most replies I’ve ever gotten to a newsletter. Many of the stories shared broke my heart, and that’s exactly why I want to help with this topic. Every person deserves to feel confident and loved in their body, and to understand the value of nutrition and how it can help fuel your body. I...
Hi Reader, I’ve had a few conversations with moms lately about something that feels especially hard to get “right” – talking to our kids about weight, and how food relates to their body. And I shared a post on Instagram that resonated with a lot of you about what to do if your kid comes to you and says, “I’m fat.” (If you haven’t seen it you can read it on Instagram or Facebook.) I got a lot of great feedback from moms thanking me for talking about it openly and for helping them feel more...
