“Likes” & Worth
Essena O’Neil. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, don’t worry. I didn’t know who the blazes this girl was either. BUT: For the past several days, her name and her story have been absolutely exploding all over my social media feeds: “Social Media Star Quits Instagram, Revealing it’s a Sham.” “‘Dream Life’ Not […]

Healing Broken Relationships
What is it about moms that they just speak a language that only their children can understand? Whether it be a look, a touch, a smile, or even just the way she breathes, moms have a special way of communicating love that transcends language, time, space, and age. So this past weekend my mom, AKA […]

Where’s the Line?
First things first, I have to just express how incredibly thankful I am for the outpouring of support on my last post. Your kind words about my singing — shucks guys — thank you.

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.

You’re Worth It
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. […]

Battling the Mirror
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 by […]

Nothing is Ever Wasted
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 verge […]

Bikinis & Body Dysmorphia
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, […]
