My friend Caro just posted a gorgeous portrait of herself on Instagram that she had made by a professional photographer. The picture reminds me of one of my ...

When was the last time you failed? If it wasn't within the past week, you probably aren't pushing yourself enough. Right now I'm shooting for 100 rejections ...

I ugly sobbed on Saturday. I knew something was up - I felt restless and preoccupied with food. My default is to numb: indulge in too many carbs or glasses o...
