I was always in such a rush at 25.

For a long time I thought that the quicker I put my foot down, the quicker I’d arrive…without really knowing where I was heading.

Yet the rush to get there was robbing me of the very thing that mattered…the experience.

I wouldn’t change anything, because it’s that very thing that’s got me exactly where I’m meant to be.

But the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised you never truly arrive.

In fact you’re living it every single day.

I don’t want to look back and think I rushed the “good old days” - I want to be truly in them, living it 💫

25K was what I worked out I’ve spent so far 💸

Qualifications, courses, seminars and mentors.

Most people don’t see what it costs to build something.

A skill, something you’re proud of, a craft, or a business.

And I’ve had my doubts along the way.

Is this the easiest way?
Am I investing my time and effort in the right places?
Am I skilled enough yet?

But this journey has taught me so much.

That everything has a cost.

The time we commit to something.

The money we invest.

The blood, sweat and tears.

But it’s also the same cost I see in you, in my clients.

The one showing up, learning, growing, investing in themselves for their own benefit, but others too.

And I see myself in that.

That’s exactly who I built this all for in all honestly.

I’ve been coaching nearly a decade and here’s what you need to know👇🏼

Rushing to tell you the answers isn’t coaching, but in fact directing you.

It’s this FIX it approach, over the one who GUIDES.

Think about your favourite teacher growing up, how did they get the best out of you, was it by force or collaboration?

And although many of us want “someone to just tell me what to do” the reality is much less exciting.

Because the truth is, you already know what you’re willing to do, what you’re able to do, and, with some guidance, what might challenge you.

But being given a list of things to tick off…

A meal plan.
A list of exercises without meaning.
A step goal that seems samey after a while.

Means nothing long-term.

It’s just another phase.

And the best way to get the best out of you, isn’t by me telling, it’s by letting you lead.

And me letting you know, I’ve got your back every step of the way.

This is what building your strength actually looks like…

1. Effort. If you’re not challenged, you ain’t changing.

Use Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale 1-10 to make sure you’re getting the most out of your exercises. Your skill comes over time in making it challenging enough to grow. Don’t just think more weight, but movement quality, tempo, connection to what you’re working.

2. Consistency. Week in and week out builds strength.

What’s better, watering your garden once a week in summer or twice? I used this analogy with a client recently and she said it helped the penny drop. If she wants more, she’s going to have to do more. And do it with the same level of consistency she’d like to see her garden bloom.

3. Volume isn’t just about how many sessions, but total sets.

Want to grow your glutes? Think about how many times you’re targeting across your total weekly volume. Everyone is different to see progress but without noticing your volume across the week (which a good coach does for you) you won’t drive progress.

4. Progressive overload isn’t forced but created.

It’s not just adding more weight, but more challenge. Strength is built by giving your body a reason to grow. Reps, sets, weight? Sure. But what about connection, movement quality, better control. They also mean you’re progressing a bit more each week.

5. Imperfect action beats inaction.

Step into building your strength by realising you won’t get it right straight away. Get comfy being uncomfortable. Get comfy learning as you go. And if you’re stuck, DM .coach

Menopause is your second spring 🌱

I loved listening to this on ‘s Hot Water podcast with

It highlighted how this season of life is far from a decline, but instead a renewal.

For so many women there are serious reasons to think this could all be doom and gloom, but I also think there’s great power in realising the woman you are becoming.

Just like in the animal kingdom the matriarch is often the leader, the wisest of the bunch and the one whose experience is valued, and it’s exactly that experience that makes her essential to her group.

To tie this all back to fitness, although we are at greater risk of things like osteoporosis (bone density loss) we’ve also never lived in a time where we’ve had better tools, like strength training, to support our bodies throughout it.

And I firsthand see not only the physical benefits this has but the mental ones too.

Women reclaiming this season of renewal, not decline. Of empowerment and being their own leader, not at the mercy of everyone else.

So, here’s to stepping into that second spring. Not over, not out.

How do you find meaning in your fitness?

And what does it even matter?

This week’s episode was what started at a thought, turned into a journalling session, turned into what I think might be the most in depth episode yet.

Finding meaning in your fitness might sound woo-woo, but it’s far from it.

Without meaning, what’s it all for?

Why show up when you could just check out?

Find your meaning, find your value in this thing, and it becomes so much more than physical expression, but more so the essence of who you are.

I used to think that health could be bought, but now I know the best things for your health and wellbeing, are often free.

I used to always be on the lookout for the next thing I could spend my money on, with little regard for what else I needed to focus on closer to home first.

I’m not naive enough to acknowledge that all of these come with privilege too. From time to exercise, or money to buy food.

But the point being, we often jump to spend our money on the next gadget or shiny object, without truly having our world class basics in place.

Meaningful relationships.
Time spent outside.
Nourishing and joyful food.
Moving with intent.

No amount of things I added over the years without these in place, gave me anything extra for my health and fitness.

Now I focus on those world class basics, over and over again. That’s what deserves the biggest investment I can give it. That’s what moves the needle the most.
