A Little Bit about Lori

Before I tell you what I do, I want to tell you who I am:

That sentence may sound simple, but it has become the foundation of everything I believe, everything I teach, and everything I hope every woman comes to know for herself.

I had heard those words my entire life. Yet somehow, I had come to believe that my value was tied to my performance—to getting it right, to doing better, to finally having enough self-control.

When I “ate well,” I felt good. Worthy. When I nose-dived into the peanut butter jar, I felt like a failure. Unworthy.

At least that’s the insidious lie I believed.

Looking back, it's no surprise that God led me into the study of addiction long before He used it to reveal Himself to my heart. For over ten years, I worked with my oldest son Eric in the realm of addictive behaviors, helping parents navigate technology in a dynamic way, while exploring the rich topics of love and real connection.

The goal: to raise strong kids in today’s world. See The Parenting Dare for more info.

As we studied the neuroscience of technology addiction, I began recognizing the same patterns operating in my own relationship with food, primarily with that seemingly benign little darling, Sugar.

Using the tools I learned with The Parenting Dare, I was able to understand the cycle, but unable to get myself out of it.

What came next changed everything. It started with one burning question, posed to Jesus,

“Who is God the Father to You?”

I received profound answers, and at first, it was hard for me to accept what I was learning.

But I kept at it, studying, researching, turning to strong priests for clarification.

Over time, my deepest sense of self shifted, and I happily stepped into my truest identity, that of beloved daughter.

Operating out of that space changed everything. Over time, I discovered that I no longer negotiated with food, but rather, I’ve become a woman who eats, serves and enjoys whole foods that nourish on every level.

So even though what I do revolves around food, it’s really not about the food!

Today I help women discover the same freedom that I found. While many first come because of food, they soon realize the deeper invitation has always been freedom—freedom to know they are beloved daughters of the Father, freedom from striving, and freedom to live the life they were created to live.
