The lie of behind isn’t just untrue - it’s TOXIC ☠️

And yet I still see SO many women go through the ‘catch up’.

I lived it for SO long. And it burnt me to the ground. TWICE. The last 3 years have literally been me learning how to SLOW DOWN.

So much so that ‘behind’ doesn’t exist for me anymore. And the crippling stress with it ✌🏻

Here’s a few things I’ve learned…
👀 there will ALWAYS be more to do (because who the hell even are you if you’re not achieving?!)

😰 the more you do, the more you’ll FIND to do (the mind gets HIGH on problems - solve one you’ll create another)

🥵 doing doesn’t fix your feelings (any outer problem is just a reflection)

You’ve been sold a damn lie to keep you on the ladder of trying to prove yourself.

In reality? You don’t need to. You’re ALREADY enough.

And when you learn to untangle your worth from your work and stop the patriarchal *treadmill* of proving yourself by your performance, life hits different.

You show up with an energy that says ‘show me the 💸’ (literally).
You don’t suffer for mediocre relationships.
And btw, you have MORE TIME.

A weekend of marriage, mango cider and celebrating the Miltons 🤍

Forever grateful for my clients who often turn into friends. Wishing you the happiest of marriages!

Can I tell you a SECRET? 🤫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing I NEVER expected in my life was to be considered ‘calm’, ‘organised’ and ‘in control’. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like NEVER.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, even a few years ago those werent words I’d use to describe myself. Because I wasn’t. It was more like ‘dysfunctional’, ‘disorganised’, and pure ‘chaos’. (And I wish I was kidding). 🤦🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And although I’m SO grateful for who I’ve grown into, part of me misses the crazy. 🤪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHY?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, life was a LOT more fun - in fact, sometimes TOO MUCH fun. 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that ‘work hard, play hard’ life has consequences… like I don’t know… you health, success and growth? 🚫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because as great as it seemed, that ‘all or nothing’ mentality was honestly one of the reasons I burnt out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✌🏼 Twice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was ZERO balance. ZERO time for me. And ALL. THE. STRESS. 🤯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So now, whenever I think about those ‘wild’ times, I remind myself fun has an important part to play in life, but getting caught up in it too much is usually a sign I’m not aligned.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that is one thing I ALWAYS want to be. Because being your best self, means living your best life!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d love to know your thoughts - as an entrepreneur do you think there is such a thing as TOO much fun?!

POV: You CHOOSE your Stress Level
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There… I said it 🙊.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because if I’ve learned ANYTHING - you are what you choose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So…
Are you proactively managing your stress so you can show up in your business clear and in control?
OR…
Are you letting your days run you and feel like you’re constantly playing catch up?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learning to stay ahead of the curve and put your best foot forward is ALWAYS the best plan in business. And you can start by asking yourself….
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is causing you unnecessary stress?
How can you limit it/the impact on your life?
What helps you feel more in control?
How can you prioritise it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Answering these will get you off to a good start, but…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Still feeling stressed? I’ve been working hard on carefully creating 3 coaching packages I’ll be releasing VERY soon, to help you eliminate your chronic stress woes for good!

WISE PEOPLE HAVE SAID ‘You’re too close to yourself to see what makes you special.’ ✨❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This totally hit home recently, whilst REALLY looking back over my life the other day, when I asked Kyle what made me unique. His response? 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘Most people would have quit by now….’ 🤣😶
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truth be told, the past 4 years have been one big roller coaster - an average entrepreneur journey, I have NOT had.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚨My mum had cancer.
⭕️My little sister had cancer.
💔My mum had cancer again - and passed away.
⛔️We sold our family home.
⁉️COVID happened.
AND THEN?! I got delayed grief AND burnout. 🤬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And somehow I’m STILL standing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I’m honest - I spent a lot of time asking ‘why me?’. Why did I have to deal with all this stress, all at once. It was relentless. 😰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But through it’s relentlessness, I learnt a TONNE about resilience. 💪🏼
A tonne about dealing with stress. And a tonne about moving forward regardless.⬆️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My point? I know how it feels to feel completely overwhelmed, burnt out and like you don’t know how to make things better. 🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s WHY I developed my unique philosophy around health, stress management & self-care. To give you the space you need to make REAL change - in a way that’s completely UNIQUE to you, and won’t just sort the symptoms but clear the chaos for good. 🌟

🚨 INCOMING ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨: Some big business changes have landed! ☑️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been teasing this out for more than a hot minute, so it’s about time I let you in on some insider secrets…. 🤫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spilling the tea ☕️ for you now - JUST fitness coaching is for me no more. We had fun, but… 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So let me re-introduce myself: Hi, I’m Ruthie - your Stress & Self-Care Coach, nice to meet you! 👋🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So why the change?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I’m honest - it was something I knew I needed to do. Because after years of coaching the biggest barrier for most women’s success? Stress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can’t ignore it anymore. And YOU don’t have to live with it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Health is so much more than what you weigh, or the food you eat, or how you’re feeling emotionally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is ALL encompassing. ⭕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that’s exactly how I have worked with my clients from day one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want you to be able to show up in your business putting your best foot forward every, single, day so you can scale sustainably and make the difference in the world you deserve to! 🥳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So over to you… are you up for less stress, and more success?

This photo leaves me with a lot of feelings ❤️💔

Because being brutally honest, 2 years ago I felt as fraudulent as I could feel.

I was running a fitness business, but I was about as unhealthy as I could possibly be…

On the outside I looked like I had it all together.

🎉 booming client base
❤️ the go-to in my gym for weight-loss
🤯 growing at a rate I couldn’t comprehend.
🔥losing weight quick
🥰 and I’d started dating the man of my dreams (when you know, you know)

BUT here’s what you didn’t see…

🛑 I wasn’t sleeping
⛔️I was obsessed with exercising
🆘My bulimia had come back hard
❌I couldn’t put work down
🚫I felt lonelier than I’d ever felt before
📛I had TONNES of unresolved trauma

And… never had I felt so stressed.

I felt like if I dropped any ball - lost a client, didn’t keep up with my social life, wasn’t growing my business - I was a failure.

I had no system, no time for self-care, and DEFINITELY no time to just ‘be’. I was scared to - in case I realised how broken I really was.

I look back on that time and wonder how I survived. But I also look back with love for myself about how much I’ve grown.

Nowadays when things don’t go to plan I’m still calm.
If a call doesn’t close, I’m ok with it.
If things feel like they are falling apart, I know I can bring them all back together.

I’M in control. 🙏🏼

Did it happen overnight? HA! 😂😂😂 No.

Let me tell you, it was hard work. But like all good things, so worth it! My only regret these days? That I hadn’t done it sooner.

So here’s my wish for you this christmas - you stop waiting for your next client, or to get the hang of your new content strategy, or to hit that 5, 10 or 20k mark.

And you start prioritising yourself. 🔥❤️🥰

Because without your business, you are still valuable. But when you value yourself? Your business is unstoppable.

If you continue to wait to the next milestone for you to prioritise yourself - it will never come.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You created your business for freedom, now.
To live an extraordinary life without limits, now.
To take time out not only when you need it, but when you want it to, now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not in 10 years time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I understand the stress of trying to build success - I’ve been there. It nearly crippled me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it taught me one lesson - it’s not something you have to live with. If you choose not to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can choose to live stress free, in alignment, and prioritise yourself. Or you can choose not to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can choose to scale sustainably & look at your long term vision, rather than the desperate short one. Or you can choose not to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you can choose to live with confidence for what’s in store for your business. Or you can choose not to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The choice is yours. What do you choose?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The reminder I have to give myself everyday...

'If you're doing your best, that's enough.'

2020 is, as I like to call it, the year that sanity forgot.  I can't be the only one that's felt like I've been sitting on a ledge all year...

But it's been a year where we've all been given the chance to find ourselves again.

To push for more. To make changes. To speak up. To dare greatly again.

So did you take it? Did you do the work to figure out the lessons?

The only difference between where you are and where you want to be, is WHAT YOU DO!

That takes courage. That takes time. But if you keep stopping,  you never succeed.

You deserve the life you dream of... what are you going to do about it?

⬆️

How do you find your motivation each day?

You focus on what you’re thankful for. You remember that you can’t have the good days without the bad. You look at your mission and realise it’s bigger than bad feelings.

Sometimes life feels like it’s up against you - that you have no way forward and you feel like a failure.

Trust me, I get it. I remember the weeks of downward spirals. I remember the pain from situations I felt no control over.

But there is ALWAYS hope. Even when you feel down, you will at some point feel lighter and brighter. You have the ability to always get back up.

You are stronger, fiercer and more fantastic than you know. ❤️❤️ Own it!

I want to know... what are you most proud of overcoming lately?

                         

You need people around you who get it... ⁣
⁣
But more importantly? They need to get you.⁣
⁣
I hear a lot of people say weight loss is as simple as move more, eat less of the bad, more of the good, right?⁣
⁣
But you’re crazy busy, you have a thousand things to think about and the last thing you need right now? More pressure.⁣
⁣
How can someone tell you how to live your life if they’ve never been in your shoes? They don't know your journey.⁣
⁣
And like every business, you can’t teach from somewhere you’ve never authentically been.⁣
⁣
For most of my ladies, their journey isn't just about body image, or weight loss, or healthy. It's about creating a person that is unstoppable.⁣
⁣
A woman who loves herself no matter what. You deserve that.⁣
⁣
If you're serious about creating a life you love, all you need to do is start taking action... whether that's big or small! ⁣
⁣
If you want to take a baby step today, just drop me a DM and I'll send you my free plan on how you can get more out of your days right now  or if you're really ready for a challenge let's get a call in and see how we can take this up a notch.⁣
