I absolutely love getting messages about Real Strong Women merch. But my favourite? The ones asking for more socks. More colours. More options.

And if you haven’t guessed yet, I’m genuinely obsessed with doing more colours 😂 It’s my favourite part of creating merch, figuring out which shades actually work, which ones women will actually want to live in.

So you asked. I listened.

New RSW sock colours are coming to the website soon. Keep your eyes peeled for the full release 💙

Which colour is your favourite?

My childbirth experience was nothing like I expected. It was traumatic. Delivering my daughter came with an obstetric a**l sphincter injury that meant emergency surgery straight after giving birth.

As a new mum who’d just been through that, I was confused. Lost. I didn’t know what was happening in my body. I thought the doctors would have a plan. I thought the physios would follow up. I thought there’d be support to help me heal.

There wasn’t.

I still wonder to this day how different my healing journey could have been if that support existed. If someone had explained what happened. If someone had offered proper physiotherapy. If someone had just been there.

Because being a new mum is hard enough. Adding a traumatic birth injury on top of that, it’s a whole different level of hard.

If you’ve been through something similar, if your birth was traumatic, if you have an injury you’re still healing from and you don’t know where to start or how to move forward, you’re not alone.

And my inbox is always open.

Message me. Tell me your story. Let’s talk about what support could actually look like for you. Because every woman deserves better than what I got.

Every woman deserves proper follow-up. Every woman deserves to feel understood and supported through her healing.

You’re stronger than you think. And you deserve proper help 💙

I get messages from women who feel completely lost after having a C-section.

Their doctor focuses on the visible scar; does it look infected, is it healing properly, and then say ‘you’re cleared at xx weeks.’ (the No. seems to vary on postcode!) But nothing is explained about what’s going on inside of your body.

You go home, moving slowly because it doesn’t feel right. By week 6 you try to lift the pram and suddenly feeling terrified. The fear comes because nobody explained what was actually happening beneath the surface.

The organs settling, the muscle layers trying to knit back together, the scar tissue forming internally. It’s a lot.

Then comes the real confusion when the doctor says exercise is fine. But there’s a huge difference between a gentle walk and lifting something heavy and nobody explains that.

So women are stuck, feeling too scared to move much, too worried about seizing up if they do nothing. Unsure of what’s actually safe.

And you deserve to understand your internal healing and you deserve a real progression plan.

You deserve to rebuild confidence in your body, not just your strength.

Let me know in the comments if you’d love to learn more about safe progression to core strengthening and returning to heavy lifting after c-section 💙

There’s no such thing as one perfect hinge.

Too often we’re taught there’s one “right” way to move. Do it this way or you’re doing it wrong. But in reality, movement is far more individual than that.

Your best hinge depends on your body, your goals, your injury history, how you manage pressure, your pelvic floor symptoms and what you’re trying to achieve right now.

Here’s the thing: a woman recovering from birth, someone managing prolapse symptoms, a CrossFitter chasing performance and a woman returning from injury may all hinge slightly differently.

Same movement pattern. Different demands. Different benefits. And that’s completely okay.

Good coaching isn’t about making everybody move the same way. It’s about finding the version that works for YOUR body. Right now. At this stage. With your specific needs.

So which hinge is yours? Watch the five versions in this carousel and find the one that feels strong for your body.

“I wee when I run.”

I hear this from so many women.

What I notice isn’t embarrassment or shame. It’s how much you miss running without having to think about your bladder. How much you miss feeling free in your body.

Because for many women, running isn’t just exercise. It’s headspace. Stress relief. Time for you.

Leaking when you run is common, but it isn’t something you have to just put up with.

Your pelvic floor isn’t broken. More often than not, it just needs help learning how to manage the pressure that running creates.

With the right approach, most women see significant improvements within 6-8 weeks.

You deserve to run, jump, laugh and move without worrying where the nearest toilet is -You deserve to move freely again 💙

8.6 million women die from heart disease around the world annually, that’s more than all cancers combined. And we’re not talking about it with urgency.

Women’s heart disease gets misdiagnosed all the time. It’s fatigue. Jaw pain. Nausea. Shortness of breath. So we go to the doctor, get sent home, and told it’s stress. By the time anyone connects the dots, it’s too late.

We’re being missed because the system wasn’t built for our symptoms.

Resistance training - lifting, building strength, has been proven to significantly reduces cardiovascular disease risk in women. More than cardio alone. When you lift you strengthen your heart muscle, improve blood pressure, reduce inflammation and you’re building protection from the inside out.

This is about building a body that’s resilient and protected for the decades ahead.

If you’re ready to build that strength, let’s talk. Free discovery call to explore how lifting protects your heart and your future.

Surgery is a big decision and you deserve to make it with full information.

These 9 questions that you can ask your doctor will help you understand more about the surgery, the risks, the alternatives to surgery and more.

This isn’t about doubting your doctor or being difficult, this is about advocating for your own body and health and making sure that this is the right decision for you.

Screenshot this list and bring it to your consultants appointment.

Ask every question. Take notes. If your consultant dismisses your questions or makes you feel like you’re being difficult find a different surgeon.

Your body, your choice, your right to be informed.

These questions aren’t just helpful, they’re essential for anyone preparing for pelvic floor surgery who wants to fully understand what they’re consenting to.

Screenshot this post or DM me ‘LIST’ and I’ll send you a printable PDF of all 9 questions straight to your inbox.

Share it with a friend who needs it.

Over the last decade I’ve helped many women rediscover their strength. Not by chasing who they were before babies or before symptoms started — but by helping them build trust, confidence and resilience in the body they have now.

Watching women go from “I can’t” to “I can’t believe I just did that” never gets old. From feeling fearful and disconnected from their body to feeling capable and strong again.

And it won’t be because I gave you a generic plan that works for everyone, but because this programme is tailored around you, your symptoms, your experience and your life.

If you’re ready to feel stronger than youve ever been before start with a free discovery call. Link in my bio 💙
