I’m so excited to let you know about a passion project that I’ve been working on with my business partner, Linda Leland.
We recently started a company called ‘And Then She Shines’. It’s a personal and spiritual development platform for women, where women are encouraged and supported in living fully self expressed lives. It’s where women come together to rise above, in the face of all of the excuses and obstacles that we are faced with in our lives.
We are SO excited to announce that we just opened the Facebook group for our first area of focus: Food Rules, Diets and LOVE.

Here’s the gist. In the words of Linda Leland:
Bottom line, I’ve learned from years of coaching clients in the field of Nutrition that diets DO NOT work. It’s a 6.5 billion dollar lie. Not only does it not work but it’s made us unhappy, unhealthy and creates a pervasive, systemic sense of shame and guilt that actually keeps us from making loving, balanced choices. It’s a total trap!
It’s our mission to show women how to break free from unhealthy relationships with food and body image obsession.
It’s time to rise up and be who we were meant to be and show our daughters what real health and beauty looks like.
The important thing to know here is that the story won’t change until you change your mind. First, you have to break free from all your old patterns and have the courage to step into some radical self-acceptance and love. Then, watch how your food decisions shift, naturally and effortlessly. It’s a whole different journey. Wait until you see the healing that happens when you relate to your body like your BFF. Until this happens, behavioral changes will always be short lived.
It’s time to set aside everything you think you know about food and dieting and heal from the inside out. We’ll be sharing tons of inspiration, scrumptious recipes, helpful tools and most importantly, FUN.
So, hop on over to the Facebook page, introduce yourself, tell us where your biggest food struggle is and begin learning to use your current relationship with food to become more awake, alive and FREE.
Here’s a quick video that is actually inside of our ‘Food Rules, Diets and Love’ Facebook group, but I wanted to share it here to give you a better idea about our mission and what will be happening inside of the group.
If this is something that speaks to you, you can join the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/foodrulesdietsandlove/
We would love to have you.
And please feel free to share with anyone who you think can benefit from this community and this work.
Let me know if you have any questions… and stay tuned for lots more exciting happenings.
Love,
