"Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to meet people who blow your mind with their intelligence, kindness, inner beauty and general amazingness - and Annina is one of these people. You won't be disappointed!"

#Repost @bodybravecanada with @get_repost ・・・ "Fat" is not a feeling or an emotion. Check in...what are you actually feeling? Common ones are lonely, fearful and inadequate. Figuring out what's really bothering you can help you to seek out the right solutions instead of maladaptive ones that can harm you (such as diets).

Today, just as every day, I am thankful for being able to run my own business and work with clients I love! I am also thankful for you and your interest in my work. 🧡 Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🧡
I just added two new in-person workshops with a limited number of seats to my October calendar: one is a Relapse Prevention workshop for folks in recovery (Oct 13th), and the other a caregiver workshop for parents of highly dependent adult children who struggle with substance use, an eating disorder or mental health diagnosis. You can find out more about those workshops in the Highlights and book your ticket via the link in bio. Just five spots available per event!
Facebook find of the day! 💗
@this.feminist.therapist and myself are offering a replay of last year‘s holiday boundary setting webinar THIS FRIDAY! If you haven’t seen it yet or would like to re-watch it, sign up via the link in bio! 🤓 The holiday season is fast approaching with Canadian Thanksgiving happening this coming Monday! While festivities present an excellent opportunity to spend time with loved ones, celebrate what we are thankful for, and eat delicious food, being around family can be a stressful time for many also. This is why Nicole Perry - Feminist Counsellor Edmonton and I decided to make last year's FREE webinar on healthy boundary setting available again - and at the very beginning of the holiday season this time around! If you missed the opportunity in 2017, would like to re-watch it, or are new to our online community, definitely put your name down for these 45 minutes of tips and advice. The webinar will then be emailed to you this Friday, October 5th, at 6pm EST. You will learn: * The five easy steps you need to know to handle difficult situations over the holidays. * The exact words you can use to opt out of unwanted conversations - client approved and real life tested. * How to master boundary setting like a pro: It doesn't end at saying "no"! You will also get two free goodies as a sign up bonus: Nicole's PDF "5 Beliefs To Support You In Setting Boundaries" and Annina's super easy "Basic Boundaries" formula! And of course, you can re-watch the webinar as often as you like going forward. We're so looking forward to having you! https://substanceusecounselling.lpages.co/setting-boundaries-webinar/
Love @theguerrillafeminist with all my heart, but unfortunately a drink won’t solve the problem here, either, and perpetuating the message that drinking is a way to deal with stress is extra harmful to women of any color.
Join @bodybravecanada and NIED for this interesting and important event in Toronto at the end of October! I‘ll see you there. ☺️
