Eight Reflections on 48 Years of Life
Today is my birthday, and I thought since June 29th happened to fall on a Wednesday this year, I would shoot a Vlog on eight reflections I’ve collected over my 48 years on this Earth. Watch to hear them.

Sanctity
I’ve had quite an intense week, and as things started to settle down, I was thinking about the things I do to take care of myself, in particular, my meditation practice. Watch this week’s Vlog to hear my thoughts and how they might relate to your Bright Line Eating program.
Three Things Change as Addiction Takes Root
I recently attended the first international conference on food addiction, and the first speaker was especially noteworthy. In this week’s Vlog, I wanted to share some takeaways from his talk. Watch to hear all about it.
Addicted to Quantities
I have to confess something: I am so addicted to quantities. I experience tremendous freedom around sugar and flour, which I’m very grateful for, but I’m struggling with my quantities right now. Watch this week’s Vlog to hear what has happened to me over the last few weeks.
Relapse Prevention
I just had the privilege of doing something really exciting—I traveled to England to attend the first-ever international conference on food addiction. How cool is that? Watch this week’s Vlog to hear all about it.
Measuring Fats
I was on the Bright Lifers Accountability Call recently, and someone asked a very interesting question. She wanted to know how to reconcile the difference between how she handles fats at home versus when she eats out at restaurants. Watch the Vlog to hear my response to this common experience.
Meal Times and Your Circadian Rhythm
I’m so excited to announce that my dear friend, Ari Whitten, has published an amazing new book. It’s called Eat for Energy: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy. In this week’s Vlog, I’m going to share with you what he discusses in chapter 2, which is all about the science of how the food you eat (and WHEN you eat it) affects your circadian rhythm.
Four Lessons from the Gideon Games
A new round of the Gideon Games starts this week. These games are fun, 90-day contests available to all members that promote accountability, support, and connection. During the first-ever round, I was a participant. This time, I’ve decided to be a Team Leader, and I’m already learning so much. Watch the Vlog to hear my thoughts.
Transitioning to Maintenance Without the Bathroom Scale
I was on a coaching call a few days ago and spoke with one of our incredible Bright Lifers who drew my attention to an interesting Maintenance topic that I hadn’t covered at all before in the Vlog. Since we’ve spent the last couple of weeks in BLE Land talking about all things Maintenance, it seemed like the perfect time to discuss it. Watch the Vlog to hear my thoughts.
The Art of Maintenance
A few weeks ago, while I was battling COVID, our refrigerator ended up breaking. Due to my extreme fatigue and the reality of our unfortunate appliance situation, I ended up ordering takeout for dinner nearly a month straight. Over time, this started to mess with my head. Watch this week’s Vlog to hear what I did about it and how it relates to our Art of Maintenance extravaganza that’s happening right now.
