Back-to-school anxiety isn’t just for kids. 🎒

New teachers, new routines, academic pressure, friendships, separation—and the return of packed schedules—can make this transition stressful for the whole family.

One of the biggest things I want parents to remember: the goal isn’t to eliminate your child’s anxiety. It’s to help them learn that they can feel anxious and still handle hard things.

In my latest news segment, I break down what back-to-school anxiety can look like, what triggers it, and how parents can help without accidentally reinforcing the anxiety.

💬 Parents: How has the transition back to school been going in your house?

📌 Save this for those tough school mornings—and share it with a parent who might need it.

It was so nice to kick off Eating Disorder Awareness Week by chatting with the women Black Womxn Healing Pod] who really care about having open and honest conversations about the REAL eating issues in marginalized communities. Looking forward to reconnecting again in the future! ❤️

This is a very general idea of what the binge-purge cycle looks like. With my clients we often work to together to create a personalized chain of events because it gives us an opportunity to look at each step of the cycle and identify the best point to disrupt it!

Every cycle can be broken with the right support and intervention so if you find yourself stuck in a loop like this there are eating disorder professionals who are ready to help! ❤️

This is just a friendly reminder that beauty standards are completely made up! If you don’t believe me, browse through the “beautiful” people of the 1800s and compare that to the “beautiful” people of the 1970s. You’re going to see major differences. Why? Because humans like to change their minds *and there a lot of industries that have figured out how to profit of our human nature*

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not against trying the latest beauty trend. It’s fun! But it’s important to not lose sight of the fact that that’s all beauty standards really are: trends. Things that catch on and then fall off and then catch back on again. So make sure that when you’re considering which trends you’re going to adopt that you’re mindful about how much time, energy, and money you’re putting in to something that’s fleeting.

P.S. If you can’t find a trend that uplifts what you naturally bring to the table MAKE UP YOUR OWN! There are no rules!

It’s that simple!

And just to be clear, I’m talking about those who are thinking about dieting as a method of weight loss, body sculpting, etc. For those of you that may have health conditions that require a change in how you feed yourself, I recommend connecting with and registered dietitian that specializes in eating disorders so they can help you navigate the your relationship with food in a way that promotes your wellness.
