As a therapist, I specialize in families dealing with trauma. My work is hard, so like any good therapist, I engage in self-care. Yet, it's not enough.

After we had our first kid, we decided it would be a good idea to have a weekly standing sex date. Yes, we started scheduling sex!

I hope my kids have learned from this talk about suicide. I hope that they understand the gravity of bullying and the importance of compassion.

Sick days don’t have to be all bad. And if you can manage to stay healthy yourself, you might just find yourself back at work feeling even better.

For me, yoga is a big part of how I show myself love and care, and it’s also part of how I teach these things to my children.

That’s when I decided that Snapchat shows me how I look to other people — which is pretty damn gorgeous! And then, I felt the self-love start to flow.

Spring Break has the potential to be quite awesome. Here are some slightly adulty but not at all boring things to occupy your very own Spring Break.

Can you love your body and actively try to lose weight? I know I’m not the only body loving lady who needs to lose weight for health reasons.

If you’ve ever suffered from eczema, you know my struggle. I'm pursuing healing and loving my skin from a different perspective.

I am doing a few things to prevent my children from inheriting my eating disorder, and I’m hoping and wishing and praying that it works.
