Anchored Collective - Education in Grief Recovery
Anchored Collective is place where truth, hope, courage, love and unity reside anchored in Grief Recovery. I am an advanced GRM specialist using this evidence-based program. I was taught through the Grief Recovery Institute. This is education not therapy although very therapeutic. I am also trained in Trauma informed facilitation, as well as completing the Science of Hope Program, Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Program all through the Imagine Institute of learning. The GRM is an action-based program helping grievers move through grief to recovery. Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct choices. I love what I do. I teach online one on one and group Grief Recovery sessions using the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) from the Grief Recovery Institute. I am hoping to branch out into public speaking regarding the uncomfortable conversations we need to start having around grief and trauma. Being a collective, I also do hand stamped custom keys, have a small online thrift shop catering to plus sized bodies and I sell original graphic coffee mugs where a portion of the proceeds are given back to communities in need.

The ending of a long term relationship with the scale
Trigger Warning: Discussing Eating Disorder, Disordered Eating and Body Dysmorphia.
There were many years me and the scale met several times a day. When I got up, after a run or exercised to excess, if I ate something, after going to the bathroom, before bed…it controlled how my day would start and end. It controlled my life.
At the age of 12 I had developed disordered eating. Around the age of 19 I developed a full-blown eating disorder. (Back then I didn’t know I had an eating disorder all I knew was shame). I had body dysmorphia. I had lost trust in myself and my body. The only thing that was telling the truth was the scale…I wasn’t good enough as I was, I needed to be fixed. The scale was the only thing I could trust to reinforce the self-loathing and hatred I now carried with me everywhere and into every relationship.
Tis the season
