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...

If you’re feeling stuck, this is for you. Get Unstuck! Workshop is coming 18 Dec. Hey Reader, Just a quick one today and I really want you to hear this… You’re not expected to know everything when it comes to your body, fat loss, or fitness. I think as high-achieving women, we put so much pressure on ourselves to “just know.” What foods are 'healthy'.What exercises and for how long we need to be at the gym for.To figure it out alone.To assume it’s all common sense because everyone else seems...

🎄December survival guide ...without losing your mind or your goals. Hey Reader, The festive month is here! Every time December rolls around, I feel like the air gets lighter (probably because the weather is much sunnier in Sydney around this time as well). And even though you may still have year end to close at work, business case submissions, chasing down the final 2025 sales targets, securing your bonuses and commissions... ...it still feels lighter to me. Do you feel it too? The client,...

Slow down to speed up Your body doesn’t just need movement - it needs moments of rest. Hey love, I’ve been walking on average 20,000 steps a day, eating ramen, and wandering through streets with no real agenda in Japan. No stress. And it hit me - this is the first time in a long time I’ve slowed down enough to release myself of the daily stressors of life. If I missed the train, all good - another one is on the way.If I didn’t get to Kyoto by 3pm, all good - I’ll get there eventually that...

Now I travel with confidence Eat the food. Take the photo. Enjoy your body. Hey love, A year ago, when I was burnt out from work and not training or eating well, my body was bloated, inflamed, and a few kilos heavier. I used to hate travel and shopping trips. I didn’t want to be on a beach in a bikini or wander through stores with bright lights and mirrors, buying clothes a size up from what I used to wear (that’s just not a nice feeling). But this week, wandering through Tokyo, I noticed...

I can't believe I lost 2kg in 3 weeks From traveling through the USA of all places! Before I headed to the US for work, I was on track with my nutrition. I had my meals planned out throughout the day. I was on autopilot with my prep and food. Knowing what we know about food in the US - large sizes, highly processed - I was expecting the worse. I was certain I'd gain weight from this trip. I accepted this outcome. I accepted it - because although I have my day to day routine, holidays and new...
