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.

Hey Reader, Have you ever had blood tests done, been told everything looks “normal”…but you still feel tired, stuck, or off? You get told to keep an eye on it and test again next year.Yet in that time, you don’t feel 100%. This is not uncommon. But by the time you test again, the results may have now significantly changed. What once wasn’t a problem or something to monitor becomes something you’re suddenly told needs medication. I believe we should trust our female intuition.If you don’t feel...

Hello Reader, One of the biggest barriers I see isn’t a lack of discipline.It’s fear of committing to something before you feel completely ready. We tell ourselves:What if I can’t stick to it?What if I fail again?What if this becomes another thing I start and don’t finish? So instead of taking action, we stay in the comfort of thinking, researching, and waiting. We read the books.We listen to the podcasts.We follow the right people online.We tell ourselves we’re learning and improving. And on...

Hello Reader, My new years goal was to read more and I have been honouring that by reading at least 10 minutes each night. If you knew me when I was younger (in my teens), I was SO AGAINST reading. I used to think, if I have time (or tbh any interest) to read, I'd be better off reading a text book (the Asian mentality was to get ahead in the sciences..) Then in my 20s, I tried reading on the train during my commutes to work. The first few books I remember reading (which were suggestions by a...
