I used to dread shopping trips…

Now I travel with confidence

Eat the food. Take the photo. Enjoy your body.

Hey love,

A year ago, when I was burnt out from work and not training or eating well, my body was bloated, inflamed, and a few kilos heavier.

I used to hate travel and shopping trips.

I didn’t want to be on a beach in a bikini or wander through stores with bright lights and mirrors, buying clothes a size up from what I used to wear (that’s just not a nice feeling).

But this week, wandering through Tokyo, I noticed something shift.
My love for trying on local fashion came back.
I walked into stores, tried things on, and… felt good.

Before I turned 40 this March, I challenged myself to get as fit as I could again - and in that process (which you can see on Insta if you scroll back a bit), I lost around 5 kg and my definition came back.

Now I'm proud to be able to rock any outfit!

I've spent way too much in Japan on shopping and it's only been 1 week 😅

I love how I look in photos now, and I’m so glad I have these memories - because who knows when I’ll see Mt Fuji again!

And here’s the thing…
I haven’t stepped foot in a gym since landing.
I’ve been eating all the local delights and enjoying food intentionally - but with awareness of the macro makeup.

That’s the balance that makes health sustainable.

I like how I look and more importantly, how I live.
All the strength training, mindful eating, and consistency - it’s showing up differently now.

Not as abs or PRs… but as ease, confidence, freedom.

I can eat oily ramen, skip workouts, and still feel strong, feminine, and grounded in my body.
​
That’s the real goal - to build a body that feels good, not one you’re constantly trying to change.

If you’ve been doing “everything right” but still not feeling right - it’s probably not your discipline that needs work.

It’s your relationship with food, your body and how you define health.

And that’s exactly what I help women redefine inside the True Wellness Transformation Project to build confidence from the inside out.

Join the waitlist for the next round, starting 3rd November.

Slow down to speed up Your body doesn’t just need movement - it needs moments of rest. Hey love, I’ve been walking on average 20,000 steps a day, eating ramen, and wandering through streets with no real agenda in Japan. No stress. And it hit me - this is the first time in a long time I’ve slowed down enough to release myself of the daily stressors of life. If I missed the train, all good - another one is on the way.If I didn’t get to Kyoto by 3pm, all good - I’ll get there eventually that...

I can't believe I lost 2kg in 3 weeks From traveling through the USA of all places! Before I headed to the US for work, I was on track with my nutrition. I had my meals planned out throughout the day. I was on autopilot with my prep and food. Knowing what we know about food in the US - large sizes, highly processed - I was expecting the worse. I was certain I'd gain weight from this trip. I accepted this outcome. I accepted it - because although I have my day to day routine, holidays and new...
