Yes and No in 2025

January 7th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Ive seen so much BS already about New Year and what we “should” be doing and all these “amazing” things people have that can help us lose weight an be better…..always fuelling into our insecurities and quite often making us feel insecure about something we may never have before.
So here’s a list of things to focus and not focus on this year
Obviously we are all individual and everyone is different but lets try not to be swept up into the hype and social media and adverts and all that shit
Focus on YOU and what makes you happy
Doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing
Doesn’t matter what journey someone else is on
Do what makes you feel amazing and nothing else matters

Menstrual Cycle

March 2nd        Uncategorized    No Comments
Your Menstrual Cycle in Four Phases
Keep in mind the menstrual cycle can vary greatly from woman to woman or month to month and still be considered normal. Generally, the length of your menstrual cycle can fluctuate from three weeks to five weeks, without alarm.
 
When counting the days in your cycle, always count the first day of your period as day one. The average period lasts three to five days, although some women may experience slightly shorter or longer periods.
Your menstrual cycle consists of four phases:
 
Menstrual
The menstrual phase starts the moment you get your period and typically lasts up to five days. During this time, your uterus sheds its lining through your vagina and women wear a tampon or sanitary pad to absorb it.
 
Follicular
Next, the follicular phase usually occurs during days six through 14 of your cycle. Your estrogen levels rise, causing the endometrium to get thicker.2 FSH levels also rise causing maturation of several ovarian follicles, one of which will produce a fully mature egg during days 10 to 14.
 
Ovulation
Around day 14, in a woman who has a 28-day cycle, LH levels surge causing ovulation. This means one of the mature follicles burst and released the fully mature egg into one of the fallopian tubes.
 
Luteal
The fourth stage, called the premenstrual or luteal phase, lasts approximately 14 days.
At this time, the egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. If it’s fertilized by a sperm, you get pregnant. If not, progesterone and estrogen levels decline, and the endometrial lining flows out as your period.

Lets talk content

March 1st        Uncategorized    No Comments
Lets talk content – now Im not posting this so you think Im the best (its OK I know I am haha)….just wanted to give you a bit of behind the scenes
ALL the content you see on this Page/Website/YouTube/Podcast….its all ME
I dont have an assistant/videographer/graphic designer – its just me
I spend about 1.5 days a week (at least) just on content, researching, writing and planning – but guess what NO-ONE pays me for this
I run a business, I do this because I love it and tbh I need to keep myself “seen” in such a busy,noisy platform
Everything has a purpose and I do this to be able to provide the BEST content ever
So next time you see something on my page…why not give it a like, share or even a comment – this costs you nothing but is priceless to me
Knowing me content is seen, appreciated and useful is worth more than anything, as I spend so much (unpaid) time doing this
Its nice to be nice

New Beginnings

February 20th        Uncategorized    No Comments

In January I started a new exciting (and scary) journey in therapeutic coaching for Women

It’s going to be an exciting year as grow for myself but also as my business grows with me

This training goes a lot deeper & more specific than standard coaching and will enable me to help Women alike, as we move through all stages of life (as we know it) – it will enable me to help and support more women in all stages of their life

It’s a trauma informed approach and I am sure along the way I will learn a lot about myself and be able to share these experiences with you all

It will be available as a “new” stand-alone service…and will be the future and direction of the business going forward from end of this year – but you will see changes to everything I do as we move through 2023 

Let’s make 2023 a year to remember, lets support each other as we move through this thing we call “life” and if this sounds interesting to you – drop me a comment below as I will be needing some willing (and amazing) women to work with soon whilst I do my case studies 

Come with me on this journey

Burnout

October 19th        Uncategorized    No Comments

Dont let yourself“burnout”…Ive reached this point and its not pretty….mentally, physically an emotionally burnt out….lets stop seeing “busy” as a badge of honour & learn to slow down & enjoy the moment….take it from me kids, it’s not a good place to be in

Maybe this is too honest? I dont care tbh…if I can help 1 person stop themselves from burning out then Im happy I have shared it

For the past few months…Ive been running on empty…Ive been doing everything for myself and others. Ive been running myself into the ground on both a Professional and Personal level.

Ive been working loads…..never taking a day off, being there for everyone an Ive basically just reached a point of burnout and trust me its not a good place to be

I stopped saying NO…..and started trying to do it all

Running 2 businesses an always thinking I have to be working and busy 

I feel Physically tired but also strong

I feel emotionally drained…to the point Ive ignored my feelings

I feel mentally out of whack

Being Busy doesn’t equal success or happiness…sometimes it does the exact opposite…its robs us of precious time with ourselves and out loved ones and in the long run can make us resentful and unhappy

Learn to slow down, be present and enjoy life for what it is

Busy can wait

Stop trying to be everything to everyone

I hope this encourages you to stop and breathe and be in the moment and n to get to the point I am at now

There is NO Ideal Body Type
You are never guna look like someone else
Your body will never be the same as the ones you see on “the gram” – tbh half of them dont even look like that themselves
There is NO such thing as an Ideal Body Type/Shape
There isnt…end of!!!
There is no way you SHOULD look
There are NO rules
There isnt a book that tells you all this
You look how you look
You feel how you feel
We are all different
We all look different
Isnt that what makes us unique??
