Today I am sharing with you part of my soul. And you may be a bit confused, because, hello – this blog kind of is my soul, which I have willingly put out onto the internet ((what am I thinking??)) But this, today…this is a sacred part of my heart. A part that I do not shareContinue reading Remember Who You Are
I love living in NYC. It has been a huge part of my recovery and fresh start. Yes, it is a great place to be an actor and a young twenty-something, but it has also been an amazing place to learn how to truly live again. A great place to finally embrace life after years ofContinue reading Lead Us Not
Ever feel like your life is a broken record? Like there’s something that you just. can’t. break free from? Just can’t quit or fix or resolve? How many times have you gone to bed and thought, “Well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” Ask anyone who’s breathing and they can relate. “Go out into deep water and letContinue reading Deep Water
“Are you tired?” Isn’t that the worst thing someone can say to you? “Wow, you look tired..” Thaaaaanks. Seriously though, I feel like, especially in NYC, people are just TIRED. All the time. How you doing? Ugh, long day. How’s life? Exhausting. Sound familiar? But there are really two kinds of tired. There’s body tired. Which, anyone who hasContinue reading Are You Tired?
My last couple posts have been a bit on the heavy side, so I thought I’d lighten it up a little tonight. So. Food. Let’s talk about it. Because, frankly, it’s time to bust open a can of #RealTalk about it. Scroll through the #edrecovery hashtag on Instagram (I’m @beauty.beyond.bones – shameless plug 😛 ) and you’llContinue reading A Case for Food
Sometimes, you’ve got to take a good, hard look in the mirror and say, “Enough’s enough.” And friends, that is a very frank and very difficult conversation to have with yourself. In just two little words. For in that small-but-powerful statement…shit.gets.real. A lot of times, in recovery, you can get…a little too comfortable. I know I did,Continue reading Enough’s Enough
It took me a long time to press “publish” on this post. Why? I was afraid. Not afraid, in that, I was revealing a particularly personal topic, or afraid to show my heart. Lord knows I’ve done enough of that already on here. But afraid for a different reason. I was afraid to make you uncomfortable. Continue reading You’re Worth It
One of the biggest misconceptions about anorexia and eating disorders, is that the girls (or boys) are incredibly vain. That they’re stuck on themselves, obsessed with their looks, and fatally preoccupied with beauty. That could not be farther from the truth. Sure, maybe the onset of the disease started with a desire to be pretty but byContinue reading Battling the Mirror
Nothing is ever wasted. No pain is ever for nothing. If you’re going through something — a hard time, a trial, a struggle, a loss — it’s never in vain. What you’re going through matters. Maybe you’re fighting through your recovery and every day is harder than the one before. Maybe you’re on the vergeContinue reading Nothing is Ever Wasted
If you follow my Instagram, @beauty.beyond.bones, then you know that I was filming an indie film the other weekend. And here’s what you may not know: it was shot at the beach. And I was in a bikini the whole time. Now, before you instantly get the wrong idea, NO — this was not some trashy,Continue reading Bikinis & Body Dysmorphia
