Are you training hard, showing up to the gym 5x a week or more and have little to show for it?

If this is you, I understand the struggle and so have hundreds of my past clients. 
That's why today I'm sharing 5 reasons you may not be seeing progress, in hopes that I may give you an 'aha' moment so you can focus in on this area and start making changes.

Improvements in your sleeping, calorie intake or workout plan may be to blame, so remember your effort likely has nothing to do with why you're struggling to reach your goals, it's likely a small, simple change you have to make!

Enjoy!

You're only given one body to live this life in - how do you view it?
Are you overwhelmingly grateful for the vessel you have? Do you treat your body like a temple, feed it nourishing foods and speak kindly about it?

Or does seeing yourself in the mirror after kids bring up feelings of shame? 

How we model confidence to our kids is how they'll learn to accept their body and build appreciation and kindness towards themselves and others. 

Grab a coffee and join Davina Kairua and I as we have a conversation about body positivity, raising children who respect their body, how to feel sexy in the bedroom when you're not feeling the best and so much more.

Hey mama! How’re you finding motherhood lately?

Seriously! How are you?

Because today I’m going to challenge you. 

I’m going to ask you how you view your children.

Do you find them a blessing? 
Little helpers who guide you to become a better person, or are they a bit of a burden? 
Do they overwhelm you and stress you out?

Regardless if you’re loving motherhood or struggling with this season of life, I think you’ll really benefit from listening to today’s show and gain some motivation in this season of motherhood and life.

So grab a cup of coffee, click play, and let’s hang out for the next 15 or so minutes while I chat about the pro’s of being a mum :)

Becoming a new mum is exciting, scary and often overwhelming. Most women know this - that's why if you have a newborn you've likely been told allllll the advice there is. 

You should breastfeed.
If you co-sleep you'll kill your baby.
You'll be so tired, grumpy and hormonal all the time.

Yes I've heard it all, because I've had 5 babies of my own.

The great thing about this (other than you know, obviously my children) is that I have some of my own advice to give.

BUT, this advice isn't going to overwhelm, upset you, or add to the stress of it all.

Instead I'm hoping to help you relax so you can truly enjoy the newborn stage without feeling like a failure.

I have 5 kids, 1 is 8 years old while the other 4 are under 4 (3, 2, 17 months and 13 weeks). 

Since bub was 5 weeks old I've been exercising 3-6x a week consistently.

Yup, even with all 4 babies at home with me fulltime.

I'm not special, I do have a hubby who helps out whenever he can which is a massive blessing, however after each baby I've definitely found the most effective ways to make sure you're feeling motivated and prioritising training each day without using the kids as an excuse not to.

Today I share my tips on how to stay consistent towards your weight loss and fitness goals regardless of how many kids you have, whether you have help with them or not or even if you're working full time as well.

If I can do it, so can you.

Imagine waking up to the sun rising, the kids asleep (omg theres silence?), and knowing you have the next 60 minutes all to yourself...

What would you do?

The ideas are endless, you're excited!

Do I make my coffee first? 
Oh what about empty the dishwasher and get ahead of the day's chores? 
Should I finally do a workout, I've been wanting to get fit for ages now and I finally have the time...

The possibilities are endless when you have an 'extra' 60 minutes in your day. 

That is the beauty of a morning routine.

Today I share why you should get one if you don't already have one, and share the countless benefits of why you should care.

I hope you enjoy!
