Do you have work life balance? Does it even exist? Luckily, we are all individuals and get to choose what our life balance looks like. Mine will differ from yours for certain. But our happiness score could be similar! A day in the life of […]
How do you prevent other people’s perceptions stop you from doing what you’d like and enjoy doing? This is a subject that I hear and see all the time – our perception of ourselves and the perception of what others think about us. I’m too […]
A Story About … fun (and the gym and our favourite hobbies)
To be quite honest with you, there are things I like doing more than going to the gym to train.
This, I think, is quite a common feeling.
I get it. Training can be boring, and gyms can be intimidating and scary.
Sometimes pointless and a waste of time, repeating the same thing over and over again without seeing progress. And God forbid you actually talk with someone and have a laugh whilst you are there. It’s like the fitness equivalent of the London Tube!
I encourage every superstar of mine to focus on their life over training and we create a way of working that supports, improves and strengthens their fun. And we have fun whilst we do it!
Some of the fun I support my superstars with:
Cycling
Swimming
Running
Walking
Pole dancing
Horse riding
Tennis
Crafting
Trapeze
Triathlons
Marathons
Dancing
Golf
What fun hobbies do you do that you’d enjoy more if you were stronger, fitter and more mobile?

There is a lot of talk about work/life balance and how we should strive to maintain the perfect balance between the two. 50/50 being how it is represented often and there in lies happiness. Or does it? It seems logical to approach life like this […]

I was once told I was arrogant for saying “I’m awesome at what I do”
❓How would you react if someone said this to you?
Would you…
Get angry or cross?
Apologise?
Say thank you?
Feel hurt?
I was grateful for the comment because it allowed me to share exactly why I am awesome at what I do!
My response?
It’s not arrogant to own your skills, your worth and your impact.
I am awesome at helping my clients sort their shit out, physically, mentally and emotionally so they thrive more in their lives.
I know I am awesome because:
I’ve done the work in and on myself and accept and own who I am
My clients tell me often how they and their lives change when they step into their awesomeness
Owning our shit isn’t about denying anything or hiding our weaknesses. We all are awesome in many various and different ways. We also all have shit going on in our lives that is less than awesome at times.
In fact one of the best ways for us to step up and make a change for ourselves, our lives and those around us is to Own our own Shit.
Taking responsibility for the good we do is as important as learning from the mistakes and failures we make.
By acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses we can decide what actions to take and then take them!
We choose each of our actions and responses to both external and internal influences.
Owning our Sh*t can be hard work.
It means taking responsibility for:
The excuses we make to not do something
The blame we place (on ourselves and others)
Choosing to do nothing instead of something
Procrastinating so we don’t have the time to do it
It means:
Choosing to do the hard but right thing
Committing to ourselves consistently
Learning where we hide and coming out from the dark
Holding the boundaries of our purpose and self worth
Living by a personal set of values that align and move you forward
Owning your shit has huge benefits:
Living a truly authentic life
Thriving physically, mentally and emotionally
Leading by example for others to see the benefits
Following your purpose with passion and drive
Stepping up to your awesome and no longer hiding in the shadows
Having the energy and resilience to pay it forward and help and support others.
It may be challenging but it’s also super empowering and super liberating.
So, no it is not arrogant to own your shit.
It’s absolutely essential – for you and all who are around you!
And if you would like help and support owning your shit, drop me a message.
Because I’m awesome at this stuff!

When my consultant told me the other week that I have Osteoarthritis in my shoulder, my heart fell. When he then told me “No more CrossFit and no more Powerlifting” I nearly cried! These two have been my joy for so many years and I’ve […]
How does your past experience shape your approach to eating now? Can we change our future? I think so! ‘Eyes bigger than…’ I was reminded of this phrase whilst eating my lunch recently. I was starving. So made a very decent sized […]

Deep down in your soul
What is that for you?

A Story about …Overflowing …and who’s in your corner? A river, on the whole, is a great example of personal growth and development. It carves its way through the landscape, growing slowly, making small changes in its path to obstacles that it comes up against. […]
