Your Strengths

Cultivating Confidence

Last week's Wednesday video was up on time, but I'm late to post here. Cultivating confidence is a vital piece of recovery and a healthy life.

Hey, girls! You Need to Hear This!

I received an email from someone asking for advice on how to talk to a 12 year old girl about body dissatisfaction, comparisons to others, and negative self-worth. It got me thinking - like REALLY thinking - so I filmed an 8 minute video, specifically for girls. You know...those wonderful little creatures who grow up to be women. Do you have a daughter? A grand-daughter? A niece? A little sister? A student? If there is any girl in your life, this is what I want to tell her. This is what she needs to hear. It's not about eating disorders. It's about self-love. It's about life.

How to Celebrate Your Good Qualities and Confidence

This week's topic continues our 4 week rotation all about YOU.

Last week, I talked about 

Today's video touches on: How to Celebrate Your Good Qualities & Talents - It's okay to be proud of yourself, to think you're SMART, FUN, THOUGHTFUL, MUSICALLY TALENTED, ATHLETIC, etc. And it's even okay to celebrate it!!!! Don't sell yourself short, but also don't pretend you're less than you are just because you think it's more socially acceptable! There is a difference between being self-absorbed and self-confident!

One Special Little Girl!

Check out this little girl - she's happy with her life and she's happy with herself. I love it! Confidence 101. :)

Asking For Support

Yesterday's (Wednesday's) video is up! I continue responding to the special program questions. In this video, I respond to the question: " What do I need to bring me to a place where I can ask for support and how do I go about doing the asking?"




Don't forget: check out my last post Q & A to leave me your questions. I will begin answering them (via posts) this weekend!

Lack of Confidence - Why?

All right, so...as many of you are aware, in addition to my own channel, I am part of an ED recovery collaboration on YouTube. My day is Wednesday, which means I make a weekly video that's posted every Wednesday. We have 500 subscribers and counting. :) It is something I'm very passionate about and that is where many of the videos I post here come from. We get a lot of viewer questions and seek to answer them as best we can.

We've just implemented a new 28 day program. The topic of the program is CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, and ASSERTIVENESS. Everyone (14 of us) in the collab sticks with their day (2 of us per day), but we are set to answer a specific question regarding this topic each time. Check it out at if you're interested. So I'm still doing my weekly Wednesday video, but the format's a bit different.

This week, I responded to the question:
"How do I and others knock my confidence and why do I spend time with people who do that to me?"

Video to follow below. In keeping with the CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, and ASSERTIVENESS program, next week I'm set to respond to "What do I do to be assertive?" so stay tuned!
