When you’ve fallen off the bandwagon with your health, fitness, goals.. The guilt and shame that ensues can be overwhelming. 😌🫶🏼 I get it, I’ve been there many a time. But shame and guilt don’t actually get you anywhere. In fact, it can leave you feeling more stuck, more lost, more defeated than ever before.

The quality of your menstrual cycle - the quality of your bleed (or abscence there of), your PMS symptoms, your pain levels, your physical changes - It all forms a symptomatic picture of your health status over the past few months. Your period is quite literally your monthly report card. 🩸👸🏻

I used to think that the only times I was ‘healthy’ were the days that I was 'perfect' in my health. If ANYTHING was out, I would not let myself believe that I was healthy, and I felt I needed to 'start again' the next day.. This is absolutely NOT the case!!

There are two main reasons as to why your routines alone may not be giving you the results you are wanting. The first involves your body trying to keep you alive, the second involves beliefs you may have picked up from childhood. Both play a profound impact on the way you show up within your life.

THIS IS FOR THE WOMAN WHO is looking towards fuelling her body with whole and nourishing foods for optimal health!! I want to remind you that eating GETS to be simple. Focus on creating 3-4 balanced meals throughout the day (or 2 meals if that suits you best) that are each comprised of...

Do you secretly ~ hate ~ your self care practices? 🙈 (It’s ok if you do.. even if you struggle to admit it yourself (let alone anyone else)). Do you wish sooooo much that the thing that works for maybe your friend, apparently everyone on IG, your gym bestie, also worked for you..? *But it actually leaves you feeling like crap? 💩🙃 Drained, annoyed, hungry, bored, etc.

When discipline isn’t enough to stop self-sabotaging your health or your goals, it’s time to look deeper. 🕵🏻‍♀️ The part of you that is causing you to self-sabotage is acting out of fear. This part of you is quite literally willing to do anything to keep you from being at risk of experiencing the emotions fear, shame, or rejection.

I no longer approach my health (my fitness, my nutrition, my relationship with my body) from a place of what my mind wants. Instead, I let my body lead. I let my body tell me what she needs, wants, desires. And equally what she doens’t need, want, or desire. And this has been GAME CHANGER!

As a woman, you are a dynamic, consistently shifting, absolute force of nature who at times may like Barbie and an absolute queen, while at other times may feel like a lousy, fat raccoon who wants to do nothing but rot in bed with her favourite snack and binge watch Netflix. 😅🥲

What with a multitude of streaming sites, social media platforms, food delivery services, and consumer-driven advertising at our fingertips.. It’s no wonder SO many of us are walking around dazed, confused, and/or disconnected from our true sense of self - Whether we realise it or not. 💁🏻‍♀️😶‍🌫️

BUT I ABSOLUTELY do understand how important it is to PRACTICE and PRIORITISE re-connection to self -

Your body is ALWAYS trying to find a sense of balance (technically called homeostasis), and whenever you experience any ‘symptoms’ within your body, essentially those symptoms are the manifestation of your body adjusting to something and trying to correct anything that may have been throwing it out of balance or ‘homeostasis’.

Breathing is probably one of THE most transformative tools I utilise (on almost a day-to-day basis) in one way or another, to regulate, calm, ground, and support my body, mind, and soul. 🪽 Read this blog to find out how I utilise breathing on a day-to-day basis.
