Monday - Sunday 🔁

Finishing last week with a half marathon and going into this week getting 2 teeth out was an experience 🤣🤣

I’ve spoke a little about my birth trauma with Oliver and how it’s impacted me. It mainly shows up now in medical situations.

I’ve been having some trouble with my teeth and I knew we were at the point where we needed to take action. After chatting with my dentist we talked through the option of sedation.

She reminded me that if I can make a really difficult situation easier for myself by getting some help to manage it - why wouldn’t I accept it the help? I’ve really sat with that.

We don’t have to always push through, do it alone, be the martyr, prove to the world we’re strong. Because you can be strong and still accept the help ❤️‍🩹

Anyways, this week I was floored and I wasn’t expecting that. Yes I expected to be sore, but probably not as impacted by all of this that I was.

It was the slowest week I’ve had in forever lol. Focusing on rest, recovery, sleep and working from the sofa 🤣💆🏽‍♀️

And I feel good for it!

Deffo fought some guilt demons along the way but 🤣

Finishing the week out feeling good with some light movement & proud that I took the time that I needed to look after myself and my body!

Excited for a fun week ahead to have some time away with my wee fam before a busy last quarter of the year 💜💪

(Part 2/2)

Postpartum women (and women in general) should be met with support, education & a safe space where they can learn, grow, build strength, confidence and self acceptance!

Any change that is built from a place of hate will not last.

You cannot hate yourself happy.

So whether it’s EMPOWERED or somewhere else…

Try to look at marketing - does this person have my best interest at heart? Are they exploiting my insecurities? Do I feel better about myself after being around them?

Because you deserve the right kind of support 💜🙏❤️‍🩹

Because it is that deep.

Women are let down in the fitness industry.

Seeing women’s insecurities targeted to get new clients annoys me.

But postpartum women? that sends me on another level 😡

Targeting women who are their most vulnerable that they will likely ever be in their life.

And pushing the ‘bounce back’ culture 🔪🔪🔪

Postpartum is a time to promote healing, rehab, recovery, rebuilding strength, time for women to prioritise and make time for themselves, a time to look after their physical and mental health as much as they possibly can.

Pushing weightloss during the biggest shift in a woman’s life feels criminal tbh.

So if you choose to train postpartum. Incredible 👏

But please work with someone who has your best interests at heart 🙏💜

Monday - Sunday 🔁

Starting the week in Dublin with my handsome husband.

And this week just felt heavy. Like so glad to see bed every night 🤣

I went into today’s half marathon not feeling so great.

Carrying an injury and just feeling a bit crap & fatigued.

I can safely say today’s race was not enjoyable. I phoned my husband crying 9K in that I just wanted to give up

Sometimes you can do all the training, implement the discipline but if it’s not your day, it’s not your day 🤷‍♀️

Glad to have finished & proud of myself all the same. Many tears were shed 😅

Feeling very lucky to have Carl Maxwell always rooting for me ❤️
