2016 - what a year!
It was a true highlight at the time. And SO much has changed since. I almost don’t recognise myself!
Back then, I was operating at one pace only. Full steam. Burning the candle at both ends.
I was a few years into my “dream career” as a sports dietitian.
Leading the nutrition program at the GWS Giants and Cronulla Sharks, and starting with Giants Netball later in the year.
This was the first time I was part of a teams Grand Final success, made even more special by their first ever. The celebrations were big!
I travelled to Europe for the first time. London, Paris and Berlin with friends. Then Italy on my own.
I visited two iconic football clubs - Arsenal & AS Roma.
I remember thinking, one day I will work overseas with a sports team. I couldn’t have imagined another career at the time.
I made my first TV appearance on The Biggest Loser.
Plus plenty of personal highlights including buying my own apartment and lots of fun with friends.
Fast forward ten years.
I am redefining my career, evolving and expanding who I am and what I’m known for.
I have my beautiful 13 month old Angel Millie.
And I am clear about what I want my life to look and feel like. Which is very different to what it did 10 years ago.
A great reminder that just because something was once ‘the dream’ doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind, completely.
Along the way I’ve also been caught up in other people’s definitions of success, what it should look like, feel like and what offers I need to have, to do that.
Coming into 2026, I feel clear.
Personally. Professionally.
Clear on what matters.
Clear on what success looks like for me.
This is going to be a pivotal year I can’t wait to look back on in another 10 years and go, I’m so glad I did the things I’d been thinking about for years and started asking for what I want again.
