Equilibrium For Life

17/06/2026

Holding a copy of my successful self-help book, “Change Your Story-Change Your Life” is a reminder that the work I wrote about is also the work I continue to do every single day.

Living with disordered eating behaviours and thinking means that changing my story isn’t a one-time event-it’s a daily practice. Some days it feels easier than others, but the commitment to challenge old beliefs and rewrite unhelpful narratives remains the same.

I originally wrote this book to help others find hope, perspective and practical tools for their own journey. What I didn’t fully realise was that it would continue to serve as a manual for me too-a reminder of the lessons I need to revisit, the mindset shifts I need to practice and the story I want to keep choosing.

We’re all works in progress. And sometimes the guidance we offer to others is exactly what we need to hear for ourselves.

Week 9 of my fitness journey and today’s challenge was single-arm dumbbell rows. 💪

What this video doesn’t show is the mental workout happening behind the scenes.

Living with an eating disorder means that fuelling my body isn’t straightforward. Throw an unexpected reoccurrence of IBS symptoms into the mix and my food anxiety has quickly become a very real challenge. Yet, every day I keep showing up, learning to trust the process and my very supportive and patient PT Liam Geekie Personal Trainer who often has to remind me that food is fuel, not the enemy.

I’m learning that the gym isn’t about just changing my body. It’s about strengthening my mind, challenging the old useless stories I tell myself and discovering that I am more capable than I think I am. My own book, “Change Your Story, Change Your Life” released in Dec 2025 is also a reminder of this. https://amzn.eu/d/080JIaCB

This fitness journey is about continuing to build my health both physically and mentally as well as my self confidence and to reclaim my life one workout, one meal and one rep at a time!

If you’re thinking about starting your own fitness journey, improving what you are already doing in the gym or whatever your goal may be, I can’t recommend Liam highly enough. He has an amazing ability to meet you where you are, provide support without judgement and help you to achieve things you never thought was possible.

Today my PT, Liam Geekie Personal Trainer, pushed me further than I thought I could go...and I surprised myself. 🦵💪

We started Barbell Hip Thrusts at 50kg, and little by little he kept adding more weight. By the time we hit 80kg-that's 26kg MORE than my own body weight-my mind was screaming, "I can't do this".

In fact, I actually said those exact words before I even tried.

But today taught me something important: sometimes the biggest weight I carry isn't on the barbell...it's the limiting beliefs in my own mind.

I'm starting to realise that my “I can't” mindset has been a default setting for me both in and out of the gym. Maybe it's fear of getting it wrong. Maybe it's an avoidance tactic. Maybe it's years of doubting myself before I've even tried.

But today, with the encouragement and support of my PT, I tried anyway.

And I DID IT. 🔥

So, what have you already decided you can't do...without truly trying?

In my book, "Change Your Story, Change Your Life" , I quote Henry Ford who said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't-your right".

What could you acheive if you stopped listening to the voice inside telling you, "you can't?" 👊

Week 5 💪🖤

This journey to becoming a better version of me is turning out to be so much more than gaining muscle or getting fit.

During Mental Health Awareness Week, I want to be honest about how hard it's been learning to give my body the calories it needs while living with Anorexia Nervosa. Restricting still feels easier some days-but I keep showing up anyway.

I'm also becoming more aware of how many of my avoidance behaviours are fear driven-something my PT Liam Geekie Personal Trainer pointed out to me. Avoiding things feels safer in the moment, but I'm learning that growth comes from facing my fears little by little.

Every meal, every workout, every hard choice is a win.

So if you’re struggling right now, notice even the smallest, simplest victories and don't listen to that critical inner voice telling you you're too old, too damaged or too far gone etc to change.

Keep showing up. One day at a time. 🖤

Improving my fitness has been harder than I first imagined. I’m discovering that old patterns around food, body image and mindset don’t just disappear-but they can be challenged.

This new journey is pushing me to really practise what I teach my clients, using my own book, “Change Your Story-Change Your Life: How To Think Better To Live Better” as a manual alongside the support and accountability of my PT, Liam Geekie Personal Trainer.

Progress isn’t always linear and I’ve had a few really difficult days nutrition wise, but I’m committed to building strength-physically and mentally-and reaching my fitness goals. 💪✨

I know many of us (including myself) are carrying grief right now-loss, change, heartache that can feel relentless and overwhelming, even though it's natural.

This afternoon I gave myself permission to pause. To step outside, feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face, breathe in nature's quiet healing. Grief needs space-and so do we. Rest, recovery and small moments of light relief are not avoidance-they're necessary.

In my local park, I let my inner child take over for a while-a simple swing when no-one was looking, a hug from a tree, looking at spring flowers pushing through the earth. And for a moment, my heart felt a little bit lighter.

If your grieving a loss, let my post be a reminder: it's okay to take a break. ☀️🌼🌱
