The S3LF Method helps ambitious women stop chasing perfection and build real, lasting mental and physical strength and fitness.

I help women who’ve tried it all finally find a way of training that feels right, lasts long, and actually fits their life via the S3LF Method.

Ban this instead…❌

1. Having a negative relationship with yourself every time you step in front of the mirror.

2. Talking yourself down when someone gives you a compliment.

3. Being critical in front of your kids about the way you look.

Why?

Because you’re not only their world, you’re who they look up to.

Social media platforms are getting banned in the UK for under 16s from 2027, yet the biggest influence on them…is, well, you.

I’ve worked with so many women over the years who tell me their relationship with themselves stemmed heavily from narratives they heard, were told, or shown growing up.

So when you think about it, what a bloody amazing opportunity we have to make a change on that for future generations.

I’m all for regulating what we consume (kids and adults alike) but if we’re not auditing ourselves, is there any use in changing just the algorithm alone?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the ban. Do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing?

You look like you could handle more glasses of wine than Steven Bartlett (complimentary) ✨

Posting this like it’s the 2010s again (what a time for music btw 🎶)

Back then fitness wasn’t my job, it was just a hobby I loved and would talk about it with anyone who would listen.

I remember distinctly that friend of a friend holding back a laugh asking if I was doing my little blog.

The irony of what I know now. In order to live fully, you have to put yourself out there.

It’s not the critic who counts. It’s the one in the arena.

So many women I work with carry this same fear into the gym.

Fear of looking like they don’t know what they’re doing.

Fear of what others might think.

The quiet discomfort of letting your ego take a hit.

But by not starting, the only person who suffers is you.

You don’t need to feel comfortable being a beginner.

You just have to do it anyway.

My mate texted me last week. She’s got into trail running and I love hearing her updates.

“I know what I need to do next if I want to get better - I need a strategy. I see your clients all the time saying running finally clicked.”

She worked it out without me even pitching her what she needs to do next.

Because running doesn’t click through more miles or more suffering.

It clicks when you build your base, learn your pace, and understand effort.

Almost like when you stop treating every run like a test you didn’t revise for (which I still have weird nightmares over)

The messages in this post landed in my coaching this week.

Real women, real runs, real observations they’re telling me through our coaching together.

I’m not just bothered about distance, I want to hear their take on energy, fuelling, and improvements.

Notice what’s missing?

There’s no punishment, no “no pain no gain,” no beetroot-red survival missions (well sometimes there might be depending on the intention)

But you can see it’s about running getting easier while they get faster.

And that’s not luck. That’s strategy in the S3LF Method.

I’ve got 2 online coaching spots open right now.

I make non-runners, runners.

And give runners who’ve been winging it the best progress of their lives.

Those autumn races don’t train for themselves.

DM me “RUN” and let’s talk.

40km in to the ultra taught me more about the mind and body than any course ever has…

Here’s what I want you to know 🧱

My secret is…

That game recognises game.

When I work with clients who struggle with all-or-nothing approaches, I get it.

More so than you might realise.

See once upon a time I struggled a lot with the feeling I only had two gears.

All in, or, what’s the point?

And it was fine, until it wasn’t.

I was held together like a badly wrapped present with physio tape for my injuries.

Tired, bloated, and inflamed.

I just couldn’t see it until the burnout signals were shining so bright, it made me stop 🚨

This week my client of 2 years sent me a thank you card.

And the thing that stood out was how far she’s come on a very similar journey.

One of loving training, but losing trust in when to rest and when to push on.

When to increase intensity and when to manage other things instead.

One of the best parts of helping someone is tweak fitness to make their life better.

Adding to it, without taking everything from them.

And if it sounds familiar, drop me a DM - I’d love to chat some more to get you where you want to be.

I’ve been in the fitness industry (training and coaching) for almost two decades…

Here’s what I want you to know, that I wish I knew sooner.

When I first started I got effort and intensity so confused. I’d think if I wasn’t sweating it didn’t count, forgetting about movement quality, consistency and intention.

I also thought for years that macros was the only way keep a tab on nutrition, rather than asking key questions about how I felt, what I liked and how it fueled me.

Third this is realising you don’t need to a fitness cult to fit in. You can still care about your goals without having to a trend.

And lastly, realise that your fitness takes time, but by giving it yours, it returns it back tenfold.

These are some of my golden lessons, I’d love to hear yours ⬇️

Calling all BIG DAWGS! 🐕

You know who you are.

And you know that the biggest thing that’s stopping you from reaching your fitness goals right now…is you.

For years I told myself I’d run this ultramarathon, that one day would get the time.

But the time wouldn’t come if I didn’t make time.

You might be the type of woman that smashes so many areas of your life, but fitness either gets lost in the priorities, or you don’t know how to step up into the goals you do have.

You always feel like you’re waiting for the perfect time.

When things quieten down, or when you’ve got some more time to commit.

But reality is those times never come, and you have to make time for the things that matter to you.

I’ve been working in this industry nearly 10 years and the “big dawg” mentality that gets you far in so many areas of your life - work, family, your ambitions, deserves to be fulfilled in your fitness.

So this is just a reminder, in case you’ve forgotten, you are a big dawg 🐕 (woof woof girl) and you owe it to yourself to stop letting your own limiting beliefs stopping you moving forward.

Who knows what you could achieve? 💫
