The As You Are Method

Here’s to more safety, more access, more affirming care, more focus on the non-binary nature of literally EVERYTHING, more acknowledgement of intersectionality, and more collective liberation. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈❤️

This can simply be titled: things I love. Kale salad; all of these humans; cake; mini eggs; cookies; qu**rs 🌈; and q***r cookies… all if it. I love it all! And most of all I love dismantling the patriarchy and supporting my 2SLGBTQ+ community to foster nutrition and health decisions driven by their intuition & sense of self INSTEAD of dumb diet culture.

A reminder to keep it simple… ❤️

Hi! I’m Charlie. Just wanted to introduce myself and what I’m all about here. I’m a Registered Dietitian, and Level 1 certified with precision nutrition. I work with women to heal their relationship with food by repairing their gut health & finding a healthy weight through diet and lifestyle changes that they can sustain. BUT, my biggest focus with my clients is helping them find the WHY behind making these changes, help them overcome diet culture and SMASH any previously held beliefs that their body HAS to look a certain way to be healthy. Watch for my next post about how I apply a intersectional feminist viewpoint to all my work and WHY it is so important!!

If you’re feminism isn’t intersectional, then what is it?!?

I love this entire post. So much.

A poem by

Things I've learned that I NO LONGER have to do, since COMING OUT later in my life:

1. I don't have to people please anymore... late bloomers are notorious for people pleasing - we've done everything for everyone else above ourselves, which has made it hard for us to know what we want, how we want it and what to do about it... and this comes through in everything, and if we don't leave the people pleasing behind, we won't ever find our truest selves or be truly happy.
2. I can stop wondering if I am q***r enough... coming out later, and having lived "straight" for so long makes us feel like we maybe don't fit in either world... THIS IS NOT TRUE - you are enough exactly AS YOU ARE!

3. I don't need to have ALL of the answers right now... this is a journey... I learn new things every day, I've needed guidance and support along the way and I've learned that I don't need to have everything "figured out" in order for my identity to be valid

Brandi Carlile’s music has done more for helping to connect me to my truest most authentic self in the last couple of years than all of the books and podcasts combined. Her lyrics speak to me in ways that comfort me when I’m uncertain, calm me when I’m anxious and lift me when I’m down. I will be forever grateful to this human and all she does for the q***r community!! ❤️ 🌈

Xo, Charlie

If you have ever felt this feeling before, just know that you’re not alone. Xo.

At this time of year, I fall back into old patterns of people pleasing. I have to remind myself that my emotional safety is more important than showing up at holiday stuff simply because it’s expected of me. I’m learning to feel what it feels like inside my body to value my well-being, and what I know is that this is essential to healing.

Mother Spotify knows me well!!! ;)
