Life is what you make it! And I’ve been busy working on making mine better, so sorry I’ve been quiet on here 🤐

Taking my own advice at the moment and doing more of what makes my heart fly. Last night I saw a band I’ve loved for 22 years. By the end of the night my face hurt from smiling! I had the perfect company in someone who makes my soul smile and equally loves the band, I focused on being present and enjoying the moment rather than recording it on my phone (this was my only photo) and I made some memories I’ll keep with me for a lifetime. This is what life is meant to be about! Happy Steph. So grateful ☺️❤️

Morning happiness fans. This is your reminder that you got this. Whatever it is you’re dealing with - and we all have something - take five minutes today to be still and recognise how far you’ve come. It may feel heavy now, but you’ve done the hardest part, you’ve just got to keep moving. Trust me, I know.

If you would like some support in helping you work through whatever s**t that is, and you’re curious about how coaching with me can do just that, drop me a DM and I’ll make time for a 30min, non-committal, curiosity call in which you can ask me any questions you have and explore if coaching could work for you. I currently have three spots available for the rest of this year.

In the meantime, have an awesome Tuesday, you beautiful people 😊❤️👍🏻

Sunday self care ❤️I hope you all have an amazing week, happiness fans x

Hello, my lovelies. How are we all? No, really. How often do we just say ‘I’m ok’ without meaning it?

I’ve been super quiet (again, sorry) as things have been challenging these last couple of weeks. In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve had a health scare that has rocked me to my core. I’m still awaiting test results, so mentally I’m trying to stay grounded until I know for sure what is going on. Combined with the CrossFit Open - something I’ve had as a goal these last four months - it’s been a challenging couple of weeks.

Getting back to my initial point, I hadn’t realised how much I’d been putting a smile on my face and forcing myself to get on with things without acknowledging how I was actually feeling until I met a good friend for lunch on Friday. As I said out loud what was going on, the tears started.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m an emotional little thing sometimes, but I’m a bit of an armadillo - hard on the outside, soft on the inside, so most people only know my exterior and assume I’m hard the whole way through. Thankfully my friend knows better and gave my hard exterior a big hug and slowly pieced me back together over coffee and lunch.

The point is, it’s ok to not be ok - but please reach out to someone. We underestimate how much people are ready to listen, and would rather you reached out than suffered alone. I’ve had it all this year - minor surgery, heartache, health scare, injury, loneliness, existential crisis. So, if you feel you have no-one to reach out to, or just feel you need to vent at someone outside your circle, I’m always here. Just drop me a DM. I promise to respond.

My message is this though - whatever it is that’s challenging you right now, you got this. And you WILL get through it. As will I ❤️ x

Life has a funny way of letting you know you need to slow down. Not gonna lie, my training has been feeling really good - really good. And I’ve been super enjoying it. However, threw myself into some new movements a little too much (sled push anyone?) and have injured my Achilles. Had some 400m runs in my workout today... and they felt awful from the off, and it wasn’t the 30deg heat at 9am that was bothering me. So it’s some enforced rest/ adjusted programming for me. On the plus side, got my PT session tomorrow so not working this out on my own. Onwards and upwards, happiness fans! 💪🏻😘

Morning happiness fans!

Firstly, apologies for being a bit quiet lately. My weekends have been *full on* for the past two months, as I stacked my diary to keep myself busy and reconnect with some of my favourite people in the wake of my breakup. I’ve *finally* got a weekend at home (not that I don’t have plans of course 😝) to catch my breath and reconnect with sleep, my home, my business and all things Steph - it’s needed!

First though, I thought I’d share some of the photos from last weekend at The Rainhill Trials up in Manchester.

Best

Weekend

Ever!

I had an amazing time with my super tribe from CrossFit Beowulf, and it was a strong (see what I did there) reminder that it’s so important to surround yourself with those people who have your back and lift you up. I felt truly supported all weekend, and enjoyed every minute of supporting and competing. Many people who know the old me would be surprised to hear that the result didn’t matter to me - I enjoyed the process. I left Manchester with a ton of lessons, a clearer head and a full heart.

If you are struggling at the moment, I promise you it *will* get better. I can’t tell you how long it will take or that it will get better overnight - I’m still on my own journey - but slowly the day gets a little brighter and the sleepless nights a little shorter. What I can promise you is that if you surround yourself with those people who love you and want to see you do well, the process will be quicker. Do what feels good for YOU, with those who feel good for you, and things will move forward.

This week was a reminder that life is all about balance. It’s important that every now and then we let ourselves just have some fun and stop worrying about life. After a weekend of competition I let the training take a back seat and enjoyed some downtime. Yes, I felt guilty about it, but then I remembered that I’m due some fun and let it go. There will be plenty of training over the next few weeks! So my hope for you this weekend is that you have some fun lined up. Life is, after all, about fun as much as hard work...

Happiness fans, this is my team. We all need someone to have our back - these are mine. They celebrate with me when I’m up, ride the wave with me when I’m down, and constantly remind me that I’m strong, in more ways than one. Walking into the gym and seeing the same smiles back at me fills a little more of the hole in my chest every day. It’s true what they say - when life gives you a heavy load, get strong and move it out of your way ❤️

Here’s my prayer for you this long weekend, my lovelies! These are three of my strongest things and one of my biggest weaknesses... I’ll let you decide which is which 😂
