When you want something bad enough...

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 each morning to regulate their circadian rhythm which optimises our overall health and well-being. More on that in an upcoming Insta reel.

By 10am (after 40 mins of walking around boring suburban Sydney neighbourhood) I had clocked 5k steps - 50% of the daily step count goal - WINNING.

Had my coffee and protein oats and then got straight to my to do list, there are about 20 items on the list - all supporting my online coaching business and the clients within the True Wellness Transformation Project.

I also revisited my goals for the business next year, and the thought not only excited but made me nervous, all in one breath.

BUT

The list, the to do list, having it written down so I know what inputs are required to support this vision and goal, is so satisfying and much more digestible.

Now I just need to put in the reps, tick off the list, and get my ass into gear.

No full time work, no excess mental load, no excuses.

This is also how I approach my health and wellness, I know the inputs and actions I need to take...

...all I need to do...is to action and improve on each rep over time.
​
It's what I also remind my clients as well. That it's not going to come overnight but if you stick with the required and suggested inputs, you will reach your goals.

And if you want something bad enough, you will make it happen.

I hope you have a most enjoyable break, if you too are on a break from work right now. And if you want something bad enough, I hope you put in the work to make it happen!

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,...

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...
