Navigating a long-term illness means journeying into the unfamiliar waters of change. These waters rise at a rapid pace, and finding one’s footing seems nearly impossible at times.

Pro Sports Wives and the Culture of Adultery
Pro sports wives are a rare group of women, typically living lavish, affluent but private and guarded lifestyles. There are many stereotypical beliefs about athletes’ wives such as they are spoiled & pampered, just “eye candy” or “gold diggers,” or that they are unintelligent and weak. In many cases the truth is just the opposite. Athletes’ wives are in many cases very strong and resilient due to the unique challenges they face, especially when it comes to their marriages.
Mindful Eating During the Holidays
Of all times of the year, the holiday season brings the most challenges to those trying to practice mindful eating.

Navigating Disordered Eating During the Holidays
The holiday season can be an especially difficult time for people who struggle with various types of eating issues: binge eating; food restricting; bingeing and purging; emotional or stress eating; food addiction; chronic dieting; food fears; and more.
