Instagram: “I went for a run 🏃🏼‍♀️”

Reality: 35 minutes of overthinking, questioning my fitness, mentally organising the family dinner, hearing babies cry in my head and convincing myself I was dying 😂

Social media has a funny way of glamourising things that are actually pretty bloody hard.

We see people running 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons and making it look effortless. What we don’t see is the self-doubt, the walking breaks, the heavy breathing or the mental battle just to get out the door.

And it’s so easy to compare yourself to someone else’s highlight reel and feel like what you’re doing isn’t enough.

But whether you run for 5 minutes, 15 minutes or 45 minutes, it’s STILL an achievement. Whether you stop to walk 10 times or don’t stop at all, you’ve still shown up for yourself.

You don’t need to feel motivated, confident or even particularly good at something to give it a go.

I’m trying to remind myself of that too, especially when it’s so easy to compare my current fitness to where I used to be.

Sometimes just getting out the door is the biggest achievement and that was me today ❤️

And a little reminder that there’s usually a lot more going on behind the photos you see on here than you realise 🫶

Actually you can have it all ✨

You can love working hard AND love being a mum. You can put time into your career, work towards your own goals, do things that make YOU happy and still love and show up for your family.

We’re all just trying to do our best, juggling different responsibilities and figuring out what works for us. Some days we’ll get the balance right, other days we won’t, and that’s okay.

You don’t have to choose.

You can love being a mum and still make time for the other parts of who you are 🤍✨

Just a little reminder that social media isn’t real life 🤍

It’s so easy to scroll through Instagram and feel like everyone else has it all together. The perfect body, the perfect routine, the perfect meals, the time to exercise and somehow still manage everything else.

But remember, you’re seeing a tiny snippet of someone else’s life, not the full picture.

You’re allowed to have days where you don’t eat as planned, miss a workout, snack more than usual or simply struggle to get through the day.

None of that makes you a failure.

Especially as mums, we put SO much pressure on ourselves to do everything and be everything to everyone.

Your circumstances, responsibilities and priorities might look completely different to the women you’re comparing yourself to.

So please, stop being so hard on yourself.

Give yourself the same kindness and understanding you’d give someone else.

You’re doing better than you think, and you deserve to look after yourself too 🫶

It’s been a minute 🫪

It’s been a rough few months, mentally and physically but I’m finally ready to get back to me!!

I’ve actually found it harder than I expected to return to posting, I feel I’ve kinda lost who I am as a coach, as a person and I’ve been consumed by imposter syndrome and anxiety around my work 🥹

Which makes me sad because I spent the last few years pouring my heart and soul into coaching women and I know that I’m a good coach, I just need to find myself again and I’m taking you guys along with me!

I want to make the last few months of the year count, aiming to finish the year feeling better in myself, mentally & physically - I’ve been struggling with my post partum body but also my post partum brain so it’s time to do something about it ❤️‍🩹

So here is my POA - spending the next few days planning, organising, prepping so my week can start off positively alongside my 28 Day reset ladies ✨

Hoping this resonates with other mums, it’s not easy but you can prioritise yourself amongst being a mum, working, trying to survive and I’m determined to prove it!

Follow along for support, advice and just a gal trying to survive life ✌🏻

✨ THE 28 DAY RESET IS HERE ✨

And the best part? It’s completely FREE.

If you’ve been telling yourself…

“I need to get back into a routine.”
“I’ll start again on Monday.”
“I just need a bit of motivation.”
“I know what to do… I’m just not doing it.”

This is for you 🤍

Starting Monday 12th October, I’m kicking off a 28 Day Reset - and I’m doing it right alongside you.

After having the twins, surgery, recovery and a pretty chaotic few months, I’m ready to start prioritising myself again and rebuilding some of the habits that make me feel GOOD.

But I don’t want this to be about going all-in for 28 days, being perfect or completely overhauling your life.

We’re going back to basics.

💪 Moving our bodies
🥗 Eating well without restriction
💧 Drinking our water
🚶‍♀️ Getting our steps in
😴 Prioritising recovery
🧠 Making a little more time for ourselves
🤝 And most importantly… ACCOUNTABILITY.

No extreme diets.
No ridiculous rules.
No “starting again” every Monday.

Just 28 days of showing up, building realistic habits and having a group of women doing it alongside you.

Whether you’re already training and need a kick up the bum, or you’ve completely fallen out of routine and don’t know where to start - you’re welcome.

✨ 28 days
✨ Completely FREE
✨ Starts Monday 12th October
✨ Support + accountability
✨ I’ll be doing it with you

Ready for a reset?

Fill in the form on my story to register your interest or dm me “RESET” 👀🤍

Let’s see what 28 days of actually showing up for ourselves can do. 🫶🏼

✨ Insta vs Reality ✨

It’s easy to let social media convince you that you’re not doing enough and it’s something I’m guilty of too.

Watching people with daily skin care routines, fun kids activities, amazing business content and more recently mums who are smashing post partum life…enough to convince me that im a s**te, boring mum with bad skin 🫪

In the first slide, I’m 37 weeks pregnant with the twins and then 7 weeks postpartum - I’m almost 13kg lighter and it looks like I’m pretty much back to “normal”. In terms of my csection, I’m feeling well enough and from this picture you would probably think that all is hunky dory.

Mentally and emotionally, it’s been rough! The hormonal shift has been a lot and I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve had double the hormones or it’s just the way my brain has processed things this time round but the second slide has been a regular occurrence - really outing myself with the crying selfie 🤣

I’ve had some unexpected health problems which is caused my anxiety to be really bad.

I keep telling myself to “get my s**t together” when actually it’s pretty normal to be a raging, hormonal and emotional mess when you’re 7 weeks postpartum despite what social media tells you 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s not easy at the best of times to be a mum, run a business, keep the house clean, survive summer holidays all whilst trying to prioritise your own health and fitness 😵‍💫

But let’s be honest, the feminine urge to just get on with it is real and I see so many women doing the hard things despite how hard it is…

The point of this post is to remind you all, social media is a highlight reel and you do not need to be on the ball ALL OF THE TIME - you doing what you can is enough 🫶🏻

So to all the women, juggling it all, whilst trying to make themselves a priority too, I see you and we got this 🩷

✨ 7 weeks postpartum ✨

Here are some of the things I’m doing to looking after myself whilst being a mum to 4 kids, running a business and working towards my own health and fitness goals…

• Planning my week
• Pre tracking on MFP
• Having a meal plan
• Scheduling my workouts
• Being realistic
• Being kind to myself

None of the above requires any major effort or commitment but they all add up to me having a successful week.

If you’re a mum or someone who needs to prioritise themselves, small steps like this can really set your week up 🙌🏻

It’s not easy juggling everything, especially during the summer holidays and that’s why the last slide is the most important, you are only human 🫶🏻

Stay tuned for more postpartum updates 🌸
