💫 I just can’t deal 💫
The energy you put out to the world, comes back to you in ways you’ll never expect 🪃
I sure didn’t expect this! 🌟
The universe has given up on subtle nudges and resorted to neon signs… ✴️🪧✴️
🙋🏼♀️ To see how drew me out of my head and into my intuitive heart
🙋🏼♀️ To recognise the expansion provided by and the safe, encouraging and authentic container of the coaching academy
🙋🏼♀️ To gratefully acknowledge every inspirational coach trainee who taught me so so much while walking alongside me
🙋🏼♀️ To centre me for what comes next
Congratulations to my fellow finalists, you beautiful souls. I’m honoured to be in this space with you 💜🩷
And thank you.
Thank you to every trainer who built this programme. Thank you to every single coach in our cohort. Thank you to my sweet buddy Fiona, thank you to the besties I made for life - to the cracks you’ve made in my armour. And thank you to my OG coach 😍
I know I’ll never be the same ✨

She wears her personality on her sleeve
💃🏽✨♥️
My newest aspiration 👆🏼
Not only to have
♥️ My gentle heart
🧠 My logical mind
🇳🇿 My kiwi accent
On my sleeve for the world to see
But to bravely, unshakeably be exactly who I am
Adventurous, clumsy, focused, a lil crazy, obsessed with pulling funny faces, bookworm, weirdo who frankly cannot dance 💃🏽🪩🤓
Honouring all the squidgy different parts of me
🪩 To create a safe space
🪩 To show others they aren’t alone
🪩 To help people feel seen
🪩 To normalise imperfection
To show all the ways that living with authenticity makes the big dreams possible ✨
Who’s with me? 😘

‘don’t’
Don’t with all its hard edges and pointy corners
Turning out the light on all the different roads we could take
Shrinking us to parts of who we are
Creating fear of how others see us
Don’t do that 🫣
Don’t think that 😖
Don’t like that 🥺
Don’t worry 😰
~Don’t be you~
It offers no support to expanding, provides little encouragement and certainly isn’t coming forward with ideas on where to next🫠
❣️ Dodge don’t ❣️
Instead how can you honour your soft, gentle self 💐💟
The one that says
Let’s do it in a different way 🤔
Expand the mind into new ideas 🤩
Find new loves🥰
Control what is within your power 😎
Be all of you😜🙃😇
Accepting each part of ~you~ that you’ve picked up and pieced together
And setting out to find the pieces of you still undiscovered
Designing the rich tapestry of who you will become ✨💖✨

My shell has broken and I am set free
With no edge on my expansion
I see only open arms and guiding light.
Holding nothing back
My heart is open
Willingly, beautifully, humbly.
I commit to being the beacon that calls to others
Bright
Unwavering
Welcoming
And I thank the life and leaders who shone so I could see.
~~~
What an honour to reach the completion of the incredible
course.
Let the integration begin x

Why body confidence and weight loss are like oil and water - they really don’t mix 🛢💧🙈
We’ve learnt and internalised the idea that losing weight will give us body confidence…
Buuuuut
➡️ Changing our weight is altering our packaging
➡️ Our body confidence lives in our mind
Check out my brand new blog all about how pursuing weight loss first is putting the cart way out in front of the horse
In blog *Bonus* - I’ve included 5 tips on building your body confidence today!

Todays revelation ✨✨✨
I’ve flipped my whole idea of accountability 🙋🏼♀️
No longer do I hold myself accountable to my (never ending) to-do list with short rewards or stiff self punishment
Nope, that’s not for me anymore. 👋🏻
In my journey of self nurturing I’ve finally come to see that
I am accountable to what I *need* in that moment
Sometimes that means
💃🏽 Dance breaks
☀️ Sunny strolls
🤤 Schnacks
All before hitting task one
Or sometimes it looks like smashing out the to do list before 10am
My version of gentle accountability
My grace when my soul isn’t in the mood
My bone deep knowledge that my achievements are not my worth
And hallelujah, neither are yours lovely
So can you find some flex and some grace in your accountability today?
Try working with yourself, not in spite of it 😘

Forever looking up ✨🙄🆙
At the beach 🏖
Walking around town 🏤
Strolling in nature 🍃
For the selfie….. 🤦🏼♀️
I learned to take the time to look up - and every time I’m impressed 🤯🤩
Whether by the old architecture of London (gargoyles and all), the beauty of the blue sky, the wildness of the rain, or the overwhelming sense that I am part of something bigger than me
It’s a different perspective 🥹
One that we often miss as we keep our eyes on our feet 👟👡🩴
We become so focused on analysing our next step, on making sure it is the right one, we drift away from our part in the bigger picture
We focus into our own actions to ensure we steer clear of puddles and oncoming traffic 🫠
But let go of our connection to the world outside of us 🌎
👋🏻So, my lovely, this is your reminder to look up from what you are doing 🙏🏻
😁 Smile at the person talking to you
🤓 Marvel in things humans have built
😍 Gaze lovingly at the clear sky, dance in the rain
🥳 Celebrate your friends
I don’t know about you but when I look back, seeing a straight, safe set of footprints seems like an opportunity missed. 👣👣👣
The adventure, the learnings, the exploration and the growth I experience while pitter pattering my footsteps in every direction, means more 🐝
And the next person can;
✨ Cross the bridges I built over rivers
✨ Avoid the quicksand because I put up a warning sign
✨ Use what I learnt to vault over muddy spots
So I’ll keep looking up, will you? Xx

Bravery 🟰 Action in the Face of Fear
(I’m not sure that’s how Oxford would define it, but I like it)
I’m constantly scared 💩less
🙋🏼♀️ I’m scared of what next
🙋🏼♀️ I’m scared of not being seen as enough
🙋🏼♀️ I’m scared of what people will think (yup this one just keeps popping back up)
I’m willing to bet good money 💷 on you being scared of something too
Choosing action in spite of those fears, well that’s what makes us undeniably, outrageously and sensationally brave ✨✨✨
We might just fail - but so what? 🤗
It means we stepped outside our box of experience 🎁
It means we stretched for something big 🙆🏼♀️
It means we were BEING BRAVE 🤩
That failure becomes a sign of growth, of pushing boundaries, of setting ourselves apart
A symbol for our resilience💫
Because once we learn to treat ourselves with grace in our failures, then we’ll be chasing down new ways to fail
And eventually - undoubtedly - new ways to succeed 💟
So let failure project you forward, upward, beyond
Be brave, dear one 🔥
Fail spectacularly 💗
