I was doing everything right… and still felt stuck


I was doing everything right… and still felt stuck

Get Unstuck! Workshop this week 18 Dec, 8pm.

Hey Reader,

I remember standing in the mirror earlier this year, thinking:

“Why does this feel harder than it used to?”

I was training.
I was eating well.
I was disciplined.

On paper, I was doing everything “right.”

But my body felt different.
Inflamed. Puffy. Tired.
And no matter how much effort I put in… nothing really changed.

At first, I did what most high-achieving women do -
I tried harder. I kept increasing my steps until I was trying to catch 15k by midnight. It was a drag.

I thought I'd add...

More structure.
More control.
More discipline.

And honestly? It just made me more exhausted and frustrated.

What I didn’t realise then was this:

My body hadn’t failed me.
It had changed.
I had gone through 3 rounds of IVF egg freezing, 2 years of burnout in my corporate job...

I didn't know what to do next. What else could I have tried?

This year, I took on further education with a specialisation in hormones and functional nutrition.

Once I started understanding stress, hormones, metabolism, and how our bodies actually respond in our 30s and 40s - everything shifted. Not overnight, but sustainably over time.

I've since lost 8kg this year and I finally feel confident and like myself again!

That’s why I created a new live workshop called Get Unstuck!

It’s for women who are genuinely trying…
but still feel stuck in their body and don’t understand why.

Not a diet.
Not a “try harder” talk.
Just clarity, understanding, and practical next steps that actually make sense.

If any part of this sounds like you, I’d love to have you there.

When it comes to health and fitness, age does matter. Hey Reader, I've recently entered my 40s and a lot of my clients are in their 30s or 40s. What I've noticed is what used to work in your teens or 20s, just doesn't work as well in your 30s and 40s. There are a lot of reasons for that, but as a coach, I am so over the rhetoric of 'calories in and calories out'. Although for the most part it still stands, there are external and internal factors that affect how your body loses weight and fat...

My first week back reminded me why last year nearly broke me Hey Reader, I just finished my first week back at work, you know what that means. Back to meetings, emails, decisions, context switching, and that feeling of being “on” all day. Thankfully it hasn't picked up fully just yet. And honestly?It brought something into focus for me. The weeks off didn’t just help me rest and reset.They helped me realise how burnt out I actually was last year. When you’re in it - juggling work, training,...

When you want something bad enough... ...you'll make it happen. Hey Reader, It's the first official day of holiday break - since the company I work for goes into 2 weeks of forced shut down over the holiday New Year period. A part of me wants to chill out and relax, and the other part has a burning desire to use the time I have now - away from my 9 to 5 - to focus on my 5 to 9 coaching business. I started with going for a walk to get sunlight into my eyes. It's what I advise my clients do...
