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, […]

Now What?
Don’t you wish that life had an instructions manual sometimes? I mean, sheesh. Wouldn’t that be incredible. Or a trouble-shooters guide. Yeah. Definitely would be amazing. But I’ve received some questions about something that is quite the doosey. Wait for it…. What do you do after you accept Jesus into your heart? Yeahhh, and I thought tonight […]

Right Where We Are
It’s four am, and you look in the mirror, sick and tired of doing the thing you swore you absolutely would no longer do. You woke up with the best intentions, but by the end of the day, you’ve fallen flat on your face…again. Why?!! Sound familiar? I know this all too well. It may […]

The Importance of Joy
Joy. Let’s talk about it. Because when you’re recovering from an eating disorder, or just finding your way through the obstacle course of life, I think finding joy is something that is vitally important. When I was in my anorexia, joy was nonexistent. I’ve said it time and time again that ED is a damn […]

My best friend is actually a forensic psychologist, and basically that means that her life is literally an episode of CSI. Anyway, she had to go on an undercover gig, […]

All He Wants to Do
Do you know how loved you are? Now, before you hit the snooze button, just hear me out. I always shy away from writing posts like these, because in all honesty, I feel like they’re usually suuuuuper cheesy, but sometimes, you just need to hear it. And tonight, for me, I do. I find that so […]

Headlines and Hashtags
Recovery is a funny thing. When we first start out, we bolt out of the gate. We’re sprinting ahead at full speed. YEAH! I can do this! It’s full speed ahead, tackling this fear food. Then that fear food. We’re meeting calorie goals and increasing supplements week after week. And, aside from the usual freak […]

Prayer of a Broken Pray-er
This post scares me. I’m going to be more vulnerable on here than I have ever been before. Let’s talk about…prayer. I think a lot of people shy away from it because they feel that they don’t know how to do it. They don’t know what to say, how to start, how to prevent their […]

Who am I?
Who am I? The healthy young woman in front of you today is not the same person she was eight years ago. I have seen things. Experienced things. Know things that can only be learned through pain. Desperation. And deliverance. Who am I? I’m a young lady who has recovered from anorexia. And I’m sharing with you my […]
