Ever been told your blood tests are ‘normal’?

Hey Reader, Have you ever had blood tests done, been told everything looks “normal”…but you still feel tired, stuck, or off? You get told to keep an eye on it and test again next year.Yet in that time, you don’t feel 100%. This is not uncommon. But by the time you test again, the results may have now significantly changed. What once wasn’t a problem or something to monitor becomes something you’re suddenly told needs medication. I believe we should trust our female intuition.If you don’t feel...

Hello Reader, One of the biggest barriers I see isn’t a lack of discipline.It’s fear of committing to something before you feel completely ready. We tell ourselves:What if I can’t stick to it?What if I fail again?What if this becomes another thing I start and don’t finish? So instead of taking action, we stay in the comfort of thinking, researching, and waiting. We read the books.We listen to the podcasts.We follow the right people online.We tell ourselves we’re learning and improving. And on...

Hello Reader, My new years goal was to read more and I have been honouring that by reading at least 10 minutes each night. If you knew me when I was younger (in my teens), I was SO AGAINST reading. I used to think, if I have time (or tbh any interest) to read, I'd be better off reading a text book (the Asian mentality was to get ahead in the sciences..) Then in my 20s, I tried reading on the train during my commutes to work. The first few books I remember reading (which were suggestions by a...

Downhill after 40? It doesn't have to be this way. Hey Reader, More often than not, people think I am in my late 20s But I'm actually turning 41. If you asked me what the secret is, I do think partly it's my Asian genetics. But I think for the most part, I have just always kept moving. In my 20s, I started pole fitness and built decent upper body and core strength. In my 30s, I moved into fitness modelling and bodybuilding and focused on weight training and body composition to achieve the...

When it comes to health and fitness, age does matter. Hey Reader, I've recently entered my 40s and a lot of my clients are in their 30s or 40s. What I've noticed is what used to work in your teens or 20s, just doesn't work as well in your 30s and 40s. There are a lot of reasons for that, but as a coach, I am so over the rhetoric of 'calories in and calories out'. Although for the most part it still stands, there are external and internal factors that affect how your body loses weight and fat...

My first week back reminded me why last year nearly broke me Hey Reader, I just finished my first week back at work, you know what that means. Back to meetings, emails, decisions, context switching, and that feeling of being “on” all day. Thankfully it hasn't picked up fully just yet. And honestly?It brought something into focus for me. The weeks off didn’t just help me rest and reset.They helped me realise how burnt out I actually was last year. When you’re in it - juggling work, training,...

When you want something bad enough... ...you'll make it happen. Hey Reader, It's the first official day of holiday break - since the company I work for goes into 2 weeks of forced shut down over the holiday New Year period. A part of me wants to chill out and relax, and the other part has a burning desire to use the time I have now - away from my 9 to 5 - to focus on my 5 to 9 coaching business. I started with going for a walk to get sunlight into my eyes. It's what I advise my clients do...

I was doing everything right… and still felt stuck Get Unstuck! Workshop this week 18 Dec, 8pm. Hey Reader, I remember standing in the mirror earlier this year, thinking: “Why does this feel harder than it used to?” I was training.I was eating well.I was disciplined. On paper, I was doing everything “right.” But my body felt different.Inflamed. Puffy. Tired.And no matter how much effort I put in… nothing really changed. At first, I did what most high-achieving women do -I tried harder. I kept...
