You know you should be looking after yourself… and then life keeps getting in the way!

You’re feeling tired, stiff & aching, overwhelmed, overwhelmed with what you should or shouldn't be doing, weaker than you used to feel, or simply not quite like yourself.

That’s where I come in ❤️

Through movement, mindset and community, I help women build wellbeing into their actual lives.

Because working together as a tribe increases your chance of success and is much more fun!

Having women around you who get it, notice when you show up, encourage you when you don’t feel like it, laugh with you and celebrate the wins makes a HUGE difference.

That sense of community runs through everything I do. Whether that’s Vitality Rooms, Wellbeing Wednesday, Breathwork or the Far 2 Fabulous podcast.

The aim?

To help you feel stronger, calmer, more energised, more confident and more like YOU again. 💗

And there are lots of ways to start, including completely FREE ones.

Swipe through and see which one feels right for you. 👉

When was the last time you made a new friend? 👀

We tell our kids to join things, try something new and talk to someone they don't know...

But when was the last time we took our own advice?

This week on Far 2 Fabulous we're talking FINDING YOUR TRIBE IN MIDLIFE with the fabulous Helen from Primetime Women. 💛

Because having people who make us laugh, listen to us, get us out of the house and remind us we're more than Mum, wife, partner, daughter, colleague and general keeper of EVERYONE'S lives... matters.

And sometimes finding your people simply means being brave enough to make the first move. To say yes to the coffee, join the group, start the conversation and put some time for YOU back in the diary.

We talk friendship, connection, confidence, boundaries, energy vampires 🧛‍♀️😂 and why your tribe might look very different in this chapter of your life.

🎧 Finding Your Tribe in Midlife with Helen from Primetime Women is out now.

👇 Listen here: https://www.catherinechapman.co.uk/far2fabulous/

💛 The conversation doesn't end with the podcast...

Come and join the Far 2 Fabulous community, where women support, encourage and inspire each other to build healthier, happier lives — one small step at a time.

200 marathons. 204 days. The entire coastline of Great Britain. 🏃‍♀️❤️

Meet the quite extraordinary Megan Boxhall.

Last year, Megan set off to RUN BRITAIN!! Running the coast of Great Britain, day after day, through winter weather, Christmas Day! tired legs, logistical nightmares and all the moments when her mind told her she couldn't keep going.

But she did.

And while the physical achievement is almost impossible to get your head around, this conversation is about so much more than running.

Megan took on this incredible challenge to raise money and awareness for Samaritans, a charity that means an enormous amount to her personally.

Her fundraising will close next month — exactly one year after RUN BRITAIN began — so there is still time to support her and help this incredible achievement make an even bigger difference. ❤️

This is one of the most inspirational, powerful and REAL podcasts we have had the honour of being part of.

Megan talks openly about the incredible highs, the very difficult lows, mental health, asking for help, resilience and what it really means to just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Sometimes that looks like running a marathon.

Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed and brushing your teeth.

Both count. ❤️

🎧 Please listen to this one.

And more importantly, SHARE IT FAR AND WIDE. Someone in your world might really need to hear Megan's story today.

Megan's Samaritans fundraising link is in the show notes so you can support her before the fundraiser closes next month.

BOOK THE BLOODY THING. 😂

Sometimes “I really should…” just isn’t enough.

I should get fitter. I should get stronger. I should start running again. I should make more time for myself…

There’s always another Monday, another month, another “when life calms down a bit”.

Putting something in the diary that you actually have to show up for and suddenly you’ve got a reason to start.

And it doesn’t have to be a marathon or some enormous life-changing challenge either....apparently!? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤪

Book a weekly walk (after Wellbeing Wednesday😇) Enter the 10k. Sign up for the class. Arrange the weekend. Commit to the challenge. Tell your friends you’re doing it together!

Whatever gives YOU a little bit of purpose and something on the horizon to work towards.

Often the goal isn’t really the event at all.

It’s everything that happens to you between booking it and doing it. 💚

So tell me…

Have you already got something booked that you’re working towards? Tell us what it is! 👇Incase we get fomo and want to join you!

And if you haven’t, maybe this is your opportunity to say it out loud for the very first time…

What would you LOVE to book?

Pop it in the comments. No booking required ...yet 😂 just put it out there and let’s see what happens. 👀💚

And the winner is… SOUL CHOIR! 🎶😂

When I asked what I should yap about next, Soul Choir voted for themselves… and actually, they had a point.

Because the more I thought about it, the more I realised how much of my own self-care happens with other people.

I sing with Soul Choir.
I run at parkrun.
I get in a ridiculously cold sea with the Bubbletits Blue T**s 🥶
I move, meditate, walk and put the world to rights at Wellbeing Wednesday.

Would I sing as much on my own? Nope.
Would I voluntarily get in a freezing sea as often? Absolutely not. 😂
Would I run as regularly without parkrun? Also probably not.

There’s something about finding people who want to do the things that make you feel good too.

And actually, it's a huge part of why I created Vitality Rooms.

I didn't just want to give women workouts to follow. I wanted somewhere we could show up together, encourage each other, have a laugh and work towards feeling stronger, healthier and more fabulous as we get older.

Because doing the thing is great.

Doing the thing with your people is infinitely better. ❤️

So perhaps when we're thinking about our wellbeing, we need to stop only asking:

“What should I be doing?”

…and start asking:

“WHO could I be doing it with?”

Find your choir. Your swimmers. Your runners. Your movement people. Your tribe.

And if you're looking for your movement people… well, you know where I am... probably on stage singing with soul choir! 🤣

I'm sorry to break it to you but there is no magical moment when you suddenly feel READY to exercise.

A bit like having children. 😂

If a couple told a perimenopausal mother who'd already raised a family that they were just waiting until they felt completely ready to have children, I think we'd probably howl with laughter.

Because… ready?! What is this mythical unicorn moment you speak of?! 🦄😂

And I think exercise can be a bit like that.

“I'll start when life calms down.” “I'll come when I'm feeling a bit better.” “I need to get fit before I come to your class.”

🚨 That last one is possibly the quickest way to send me into a rage. 🤬

YOU DO NOT NEED TO GET FIT TO COME TO A FITNESS CLASS.

In fact, sometimes the days you feel least ready are the days moving your body gives you the most.

I watched that happen this week.

Someone came to class while having a really difficult time personally. She'd carved out this tiny bit of time for herself and, as the class went on, I literally watched her become lighter. She started smiling. For those 45 minutes, things felt a little bit better.

I've experienced it myself too.

When I was acutely anxious, there were times when the only place I felt remotely like myself was when I was running, exercising, teaching or moving my body.

Movement didn't magically make everything going on in my life disappear.

But for a while, it changed how I felt while I was carrying it.

Your body still needs to move. It needs to be strengthened. It needs to stretch. It needs to be challenged and looked after.

That doesn't have to look like my classes. Find something you enjoy. Walk. Dance. Lift weights. Do Pilates. Swim. Run. Whatever works for you.

But please don't spend your life waiting for this mythical moment when you finally feel “ready”.

Sometimes you don't move because you feel good.

Sometimes you move so that you can feel a little bit better. 💚

And if you're thinking you need to get fit before coming to one of my classes…

Don't make me come round there. 😂

The resistance bands came out for Wellbeing Wednesday this morning.

As always, we moved, we chatted and we laughed. We shared stories about husbands, children, pets, holidays and somehow ended up discussing the best way to absorb vitamin D… apparently “sunning yourself” means something VERY different to Gen Z! 😂 I am the only one who didn't know this?!

After Pilates and meditation we headed over to the Rural Retreat for 90 minutes of absolute bliss in the sauna, hot tub and ice bath.

Then finished the morning with a dirty oat matcha and an avo & halloumi bagel.

And now I feel much more equipped to deal with the world! 😂

Wednesday is my favourite day of the week. A bit of movement, a bit of calm, a bit of chatting and laughing and some time carved out of the week just for us.

💚 Wellbeing Wednesday happens every Wednesday morning.

And if you fancy the full mini midweek retreat experience, our next one is Wednesday 7th October — Pilates, meditation followed by 90 minutes at the Rural Retreat. DM me for the booking link.

Come and join us 💚
