A few extra minutes at the checkout isn't always an inconvenience.

For some people, that conversation might be the only one they have all day.

Perspective changes everything.

Today I swapped running shoes for a slower pace and discovered something.

When you're used to chasing a pace, a goal, or the next milestone, slowing down can feel uncomfortable.

Instead of focusing on how slowly I was moving, I chose to notice the things I normally run straight past and surrender to the moment.

Sometimes life calls for us to slow down.

To breathe a little deeper, look around a little more, and appreciate the beauty in the everyday moments.

Don't forget to look around and take it all in.

We can get so focused on where we're going that we forget to appreciate where we are right now.

The in between moments matter too.

40 and I was struggling.

Struggling to lose the weight after having my second daughter.

I blamed hormones, breastfeeding, and age... until I got honest about what I was eating, drinking, and how much I was moving my body.

That's when things started to change.

Now, at 41, I feel fitter than I did at 21.

Just because you're over 40 doesn't mean it's over.

Your clothes can fit again.

You can get back to the sport you love.

You can become the version of yourself you've been missing.

The time will pass anyway.

Start today.

You've got this!

At 40 years old, I decided I didn’t want to just draw stick figures, flowers, stars, and little houses anymore.

I’d always wanted to create something more artistic, but I never thought I could.

So instead of spending my spare time scrolling, I started watching YouTube tutorials and learning how to draw eyes. It's not perfect but it's a great deal better than where I was when I first started.

Honestly, scrolling can take up so much of our real lives.

Time that could be spent learning a new skill, building our dreams, creating something meaningful, or simply being more present in nature.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and say "well, at least I scrolled a lot".

So what’s something you’ve been wanting to learn?

Maybe you could turn scrolling time into learning time too.

When you turn 40 people will tell you that it's all downhill from there, that you can't do the things you used to do, and that your body will start to fail you.

It's important that you don't listen to those people!

At 41, I am feeling stronger than I ever have especially after losing 21 kgs of stuck post partum weight.

But you DO have it use it or you WILL lose it.

As women get older, strength training becomes one of the most protective things we can do for our long term health, independence, hormones, metabolism, bones and quality of life.
