For the Brides

If I spent all the time leading up to my wedding stressing about food and my body and trying to eat less, I would be miserable by the time my wedding day arrived. I would have spent so much time in a dark hole of bad body image, it would wrap itself around me like a wet blanket on one of the most special days of my life. And I know I don’t want that.

Undefinable Experience

How does one define an experience? Is it the photos, the individual moments, the people you share it with? Is an experience a single moment or is it a journey from one point to another? Can an experience be both good and bad? How do we as humans define an experience?

Use Your Voice for Good

While the HungryHungryHelen platform is still in its teeny, tiny, weenie, baby growing phase, it is a place to share my thoughts and ideas to inspire others.

I Love the Way I Talk to Me

It’s come to my attention once again that I use a lot of negative self talk…It’s amazing how hard it can be to practice what you preach. The other day I actually used the phrase, “I’m really bad with negative self talk”...a self-fulfilling prophecy if I’ve ever heard one. So how do I change?
