So this past week, I have been up at our lake home in Michigan. It’s a beautiful time together with family, sunshine, food-a-plenty, and of course, beer! It’s been really interesting for me to enter into this intense week of family time after just coming off of an intense period of filming on set. And itContinue reading 21 Days
Being the Girl in the Video
As many of you know, this summer, so far, has been pretty busy for me. I’m just getting back from filming a TV pilot, as well as a music video. (Not a trashy video – a country one!) And I want to thank you guys for all the supportive and encouraging comments across social media.Continue reading Being the Girl in the Video
Seven Words
“Little Girl, I say to you, arise!” On my day off today, I was able to go to church. And the reading was from Mark Chapter 5, and it really spoke to me. In this story, a father frantically searches for Jesus to come heal his 12-year-old daughter, who had fallen ill. By the timeContinue reading Seven Words
WAKE UP CALL
Warning: This may be hard to read. Something happened to me today that made me catch my breath. I was talking with a guy this afternoon, and we were talking about our former high school sweethearts. I pleasantly reminisced about my past, and “edited it” to not include my eating disorder, as I always do.Continue reading WAKE UP CALL
Everyone Has A Story
As you may know, I’m not in NYC right now. I’m filming a project out of the city, and am so grateful to be able to pursue my dreams. (I’m an actor) The show I’m working on has a good sized cast. And if you haven’t worked in the entertainment industry, people get close — fast.Continue reading Everyone Has A Story

A Father’s Day Lesson
#HonestyHour Father’s Day is upon us here in the US. And every year, when it comes, I am full of just a mixed bag of emotions: love, gratitude, admiration, feeling blessed — those are all pretty common, and wonderful things. But since my anorexia, I have to be honest: in my mind and heart, thisContinue reading A Father’s Day Lesson
Beauty Beyond Bones
In light of my recent Instagram fiasco, I have decided to change my handle from anorexiarevealed to @Beauty.Beyond.Bones I had been feeling prompted to change my name for quite some time, and this seemed like the push from God that I needed to make the change. The former tends to focus more on the darknessContinue reading Beauty Beyond Bones
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts: Can’t Lose
Friday Night Lights. If you haven’t seen it, stop what you’re doing, and watch it on Netflix. All of it. I’m not kidding. You’ll thank me later.. Truth be told, I watched the entire series in one huge marathon, otherwise known as binge watching. Side note: as someone with an ED history, I hate that term with a passion.Continue reading Clear Eyes, Full Hearts: Can’t Lose
Fight Fear Less
What are you afraid of? Really. I want you to put it into words. Verbalize it. What keeps you up at night? During my anorexia and for some of much of recovery, I was afraid of the weight restoration. I was afraid of certain foods; that “all elusive” weight range; how my body was goingContinue reading Fight Fear Less
