It’s a rainy Sunday morning, and my family is in town to visit. We’re doing a lot of shared meals together this weekend then heading in to the work week tomorrow just as we usually do. We also recently got a new rug for the living room floor, much bigger and fluffier than our old … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: May 27, 2018
It’s so nice to be in the middle of a long weekend. I’m loving this unstructured time with my family. Daycare was closed Friday, too, so it’s been a four-day weekend for us. We’d originally planned to visit my family in the midwest, but that felt like just too much to wrap my head around … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: May 20, 2018
The week felt like summer should be peaking through, but it mostly has been chilly and rainy. The colleges throughout the city are all holding graduations, and the streets and sidewalks are correspondingly packed with confused and frustrated parents trying to figure out Boston traffic. It’s been a fairly low-energy week for me. Will’s been … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: March 18, 2018
I got to spend the weekend at the MEDA conference, a gathering of eating disorder professionals here in the Boston area, held over Friday and Saturday. It’s both invigorating and exhausting at the same time: a lot of new faces, new ideas, excitement, and enthusiasm for the work we do. There are so many dedicated … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 25, 2018
It’s becoming more apparent that Will is on the verge of one, or a few, developmental milestones, and we’ve got the interrupted sleep patterns to prove it. While not horrible, he’s frequently waking up multiple times during the night (I had cozily grown accustomed to once in the middle of the night). In the daytime, … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 18, 2018
This is a shelfie from my office, reflecting a range of reference texts and non-diet memoirs I pull into my work with eating disorder clients, intuitive eating, and helping others heal their relationships with their bodies and with food. I still feel like I’m in transition mode with getting back into the swing of things … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: February 11, 2018
It’s the second week fully back and work, and I’m feeling like I’m getting in to the swing of things. I’m loving the opportunity to reconnect with my clients, and I feel like I’ve been able to bring some new ideas to my daily flow after having a bit of time away. It felt like … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: January 28, 2018
It’s been three months, and I’m transitioning back to work. I’m really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things back at the clinic, but there are also moments when I know I’ll miss having this much time with Will. The first weeks with a newborn are so tough. Now that he’s rounding … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: January 21, 2018
A year ago, I was with my family, marching among tens of thousands on Boston Common. This weekend, I was out and about in the neighborhood again, bundled up with my family, and enjoying the sense of camaraderie and community. I’m also getting ready to go back to work, leaving the long days (in both … Read more
Sunday Morning Coffee: January 14, 2018
Winter keeps climbing along, my maternity leave is ticking past, and we find ourselves midway through January. We weathered the storm well last week. With the Christmas holiday, then New Year’s, the snow day, and now day care off for MLK, it seems like it’s been ages since we’ve had a week in our usual … Read more
