What wasn’t captured.
Today felt like a crossing.
We left behind the wildness of the bush and travelled towards a place that feels as though it has been pulled from the pages of a fairytale.
Dense forests. Ancient trees. Mist hanging in the mountains.
The kind of landscape that makes you wonder what stories were born here long before you arrived.
Long car rides have become part of the journey.
Today’s conversation centred around masks. The identities we wear.
Not because they are false.
But because they were useful.
Because they protected something.
Because they helped us belong.
As I reflected on my own, I found myself thinking about the party girl. The intellectual. The strong one.
And while there is truth in all of them, I began to wonder where the performance ended and where I began.
Which parts were protection?
Which parts were expression?
And whether some masks become so familiar that we stop seeing them as masks at all.
Strength was an interesting one for me.
For a long time, I thought it was something I put on.
Only to realise that somewhere along the way, it stopped being a performance and became part of who I am.
That theme followed us into our evening workshop.
We were invited to slowly walk a winding path while reflecting on a question.
The path folded back on itself again and again.
Much like the way life’s biggest questions tend to unfold.
Not in a straight line. Not through force. But through patience.
The prompt we were given kept me wondering…flowing through my pen on to the pages of my journal:
Who would I be if nobody was watching? What would I create? What would I risk being bad at?
And perhaps most confronting of all…
How much of what I call “myself” has been shaped by an audience, real or imagined?
I’m still sitting with that one.

One of my favourite things lately has been watching people discover that they don’t have to choose between strength and recovery.
You can have both.
That’s exactly why we built this studio.
Come work towards your first chin-up.
Come stretch.
Come breathe.
Come switch off for an hour.
Come spend some time under the red light.
Whatever you need more of right now, there’s probably a class for that.
Our 2-week unlimited intro offer is $69 and gives you access to everything.
If you’ve been meaning to check us out, we’d love to have you 🤍

When I opened Get A Grip earlier this year, I wanted to create something I felt was missing.
A place where strength and recovery existed under the same roof.
A place where you could train hard, recover properly, and actually enjoy the process.
The response so far has honestly been incredible, and we’d love to invite more people into the space.
For $69, you’ll get 2 weeks of unlimited access to our classes, including calisthenics, Pilates, yoga, stretch, breathwork, sound bath, recovery classes and all the red light and infrared goodness.
If you’ve been curious, this is your sign to come try it ✨
DM us “INTRO” and we’ll get you started.

Summer in Sydney is stepping into sun-kissed shores, seaside workouts that invigorate both body and soul and dips in the ocean that rejuvenate from the inside out.
Connect to get a feel for exactly that this summer.
Happy hump day to everyone. I’m reaching out to find other health and event professionals (open to mental, physical, spiritual, beauty health professionals - even music professionals if we can find the right angle, etc.) who may be interested in collaborating with my personal training business, my self-care events and/or even a possible partnership in a commercial studio/property rental. Looking to expand and would love to work with others to help both of our businesses and lifestyles grow. Feel free to message any questions, to discuss more or even just to share socials. ☀️
