To the people posting their workouts online—especially the moms—please keep doing it!!!!

I’ve had lots of messages from women telling me that I’ve inspired them to work out. But do you know where I get my motivation and inspiration when I really don’t want to train, when I’m tired, busy, and could come up with 100 excuses not to?

From watching other people show up.

From seeing other moms squeeze in a workout between school runs, work, housework, and everything else life throws at them.

Your post might feel ordinary to you, but it could be exactly what someone else needs to see that day.

So keep posting.
Keep showing up.
Keep sharing.

Inspiration is contagious. Keep posting your workout, you might be motivating more people than you realise.

I also hope she always knows she’s beautiful exactly as she is, and never feels the need to change herself to keep up with a trend

Most people are walking around tired, anxious, and unfocused, without realising their breathing could be part of the problem.

Mouth breathing is so normal now that most people don’t question it……

But your body does.
It keeps your system slightly stressed… all day long.
Faster breathing. Less calm. More tension.

Then we wonder why we feel the way we feel.

✨Try this ✨
Close your mouth.
Breathe through your nose.
See if you can slow it down a little.

Because sometimes it’s not your life that’s overwhelming you, it’s your breath.

The good news? Breathing can be retrained.

That’s exactly what I help people do through functional breathing coaching.

✨ Ice bowl facial dip
✨ Journaling intentions
✨ 40 minutes yoga
✨ 20 minutes meditation
✨ Matcha with homemade almond milk
✨ Protein pancakes with edible flowers
✨ Dry brushing
✨ Pilates

Meanwhile my morning routine is:
🫠 Surviving
🫠 “PUT YOUR SHOES ON” x147
🫠 Making breakfasts nobody wants anymore
🫠 Packing lunches
🫠 Looking for the thing I specifically said to leave in the same place
🫠 Finding one shoe, no child attached to it

Seriously though… don’t feel pressured to copy someone else’s perfect morning routine when your life looks completely different.

I set my alarm 10 minutes early so I can do a little breathwork before I get out of bed. Some mornings I hit snooze — and that’s okay too, my sleep is precious 🥰

Your routine should support YOUR life — not stress you out trying to recreate someone else’s!!!

I just needed to run this morning.

No plan
No route planned
No time planned
No distance planned

Just moving through the heaviness.

I am still a bag of emotions after the Richard Ashcroft concert at the weekend 🫠

I started with a headache and a head full…
I finished 11k later without a headache and feeling much lighter 🫶🏻

This is what I needed this morning. Sometimes it’s breathwork, lifting, meditation etc… but today, I just needed to run. 🏃🏻‍♀️

Focus on your breath. Slow. Steady. Calm.
(Nasal breathing as much as possible)

As you run, repeat in your head:
“in” as you breathe in
“out” as you breathe out

Your mind will wander.
When it does, gently come back:
in… out… in… out…

No frustration.
No judgement.
That is the practice.

Because this run isn’t just training your body…

You’re training focus.
Calming your nervous system.
Learning how to stay, even when it’s uncomfortable.

And along the way, the run starts to feel lighter.

Pop me a DM & let me know if you try it🫶🏻

Did you know your breathing is constantly communicating with your brain?

Fast, shallow, mouth breathing (especially when you’re at rest) can signal:
⚠️ “Something’s not right”
➡️ triggering your sympathetic nervous system (stress response)
(fight, flight or freeze)

Your heart rate increases
Your muscles tense
Your body prepares for danger

But when you shift to slow, calm, nasal breathing…

You send a different message:
✅ “I’m safe”

This helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system (calm response)

Your heart rate slows
Your body softens
You think more clearly
