There's a different level of pivoting when you're actually ok with making this choice, versus self-inflicted judgement, guilt, shame, regret, etc. I made an incredibly last-minute pivot to change my entire day (literally the morning of) and the sense of relief and acceptance that came with this is powerful to share - so here we are!

Expressing my feelings, experiences and awareness while trying to tap into my feminine energy. Thanks to my amazing nomad friends who shared in a powerful chat (ok, felt like an intervention!) to help me to grow. Part 1 of this new journey, just a few fresh days in.

My first 'car chat' episode (please let me know if the sound was ok or distracting so I can improve!)

Sharing my personal experience and process with Hormone Replacement Therapy, why I chose to start it and what my 'dose' is like. This is also an IGTV video.

This is not any kind of medical advice or intended to help others. This is simply my experience over the last 2 years with HRT.

This is the full version of my journey from 2013 to 2021. It actually started back in 2007 (my first gym membership) but the biggest ‘I need to change’ moment was in 2013.

This is divided into 5 very short bits through recent IG posts, and this episode is the full detailed version of all combined.

My view on what it’s like in my relationship (being the competitor) and how I’ve found my balance.

Being in a relationship when you are so focused on nutrition and training can be a challenge, especially when your approaches do not entirely align. It doesn’t mean that the other person has to be as focused as you are, as long as there is respect and understanding from both people. I think that is the most important part about being in a relationship, the clear communication, the respect and awareness for choices, and the support.

The only thing abs ‘do’ are imply that we have a low body fat amount. They don’t make us happier, healthier, more successful or improve the quality of our life. We all have them (somewhere!) and they’re such a common goal amongst clients, so it’s definitely a great conversation to have.

Sharing some personal bits about moving to a new city and all the pivots I’ve needed to make in my daily habits and routine. It’s been hard because it’s uncomfortable and new, but it’s all for good reason.

When faces with challenges like this, either we can change our mindset, change the situation, or STFU about it all and don’t dwell on it. Letting go of things that don’t deserve your energy is a skill we can acquire.

Why can’t we just focus on one thing at a time, the next step after the first one? That’s a much more realistic, streamlined and sustainable approach. It builds momentum, it builds memory, it builds practice and repetition. And the only way we’re going to get good at something is if we keep practicing.

This episode shares a few examples of how to apply ‘one step at a time’ protocols to improving your nutrition, fitness, and many healthy elements of life.
