​I have had more than a checkered past regarding weight, exercise, and body image. So a couple of years ago, when my physical therapist recommended that I start a weight lifting regimen, I was more than apprehensive. However, I've continued this program for over a year, even increasing the number of days I lift per week. Since starting this routine, I have seen immense benefits, including increased strength, stability, and posture. 

Diet culture has become so prevalent in the exercise space that I only equated exercise with weight loss for many years. I couldn't even see the other benefits because of my weight struggles and body image history. Once I could separate these intertwined concepts, I could approach exercise with more clarity, understanding, and compassion. 

​There is hardly anything more beautiful than a Full Moon. The Full Moon, in all her glory, illuminated by the Sun, is the peak lunar energy. When the moon is brightest is a fantastic time to energize your goals, see your projects through to completion, and recharge. 

The wonderful thing about the Full Moon is that approximately every 28 days, we have a new opportunity to work with this powerful energy.

Working with the Full Moon's energy can look different in every season. So I've elaborated on a few of my favorite ways to work with this energy.
