The Grief Monster a touching and thought-provoking blog post by author, Shannon Cutts where she quotes Dr. Daniel Siegel’s The Mindful Brain. In his chapter on “Stress and Suffering”, Siegel writes, “When the mind grasps onto preconceived ideas it creates a tension within the mind between what is and what “should be”. This tension creates stress and leads to suffering.”

Water tastes so great at the top of a hiking trail!

Podcast Recap

When my awesome plan to record during a hike, Zen-like, from the mountain-top, derails due to technical difficulties, I climb down the mountain and into the comfort of my hammock back home where I muse about exercise bulimia, the nature of binges and how to come back from one.

Heavy topic today, but I’m truly enjoying this “stop and smell the roses moment”.

Podcast Recap

Today’s walk is all about truths we hide from ourselves. What’s under the drive to fill our guts with food? I take a hard look at my people pleasing and the resulting rage, my relationships and why I may have kept on re-gaining weight.
