Introducing the Bloom Book Club (And a Giveaway!)

Imagine an engaging community where we can discuss with one another popular (and sometimes not so popular) titles and selections regarding a variety of topics. Intuitive eating, disordered eating recovery, women and feminism issues are just a few of the topics we'll be exploring. I think this will be a great opportunity to take advantage of a more affordable service if one on one sessions or group sessions are unobtainable at the moment.

Hello everyone,

I am excited to announce a project that I've been working on quite a while now! If you're like me and are a fan of all things books, learning, friendly debate, coffee, tea and wine -- then this is for you!

Imagine an engaging community where we can discuss with one another popular (and sometimes not so popular) titles and selections regarding a variety of topics. Intuitive eating, disordered eating recovery, women and feminism issues are just a few of the topics we'll be exploring. I think this will be a great opportunity to take advantage of a more affordable service if one on one sessions or group sessions are unobtainable at the moment.

 

The Book Club will include:

  • Tiered membership levels, including a FREE membership!
  • Quarterly LIVE discussions of the current selection participants can attend as a group.
  • Action challenges and homework assignments emailed directly to you to help you implement the material of the reading.
  • The ability to vote and recommend upcoming selections.
  • A written review of the quarterly selection.
  • A separate, private Facebook group with weekly discussions, live videos and lively debate about the current selection.
  • A way to improve your learning, continue your recovery and promote positive change without attending sessions or webinars.

The numbers of young girls and young women who will be impacted by disordered eating or an eating disorder are alarming. The National Eating Disorder association reported that by age 6 young girls begin to express concerns about their body and weight. In Elementary aged girls, 40 - 60% are concerned about weight.  In the diet culture the American society promotes, young girls and women face significant pressure. 

In the video below I describe how to know whether or not your daughter may be displaying signs of an eating disorder. This includes physical symptoms to look for and behaviors to understand. I have also included here some helpful resources for you to learn more about helping your daughter.
