This is actually really hard for me to share.

Because I’m a fitness coach… and there’s this idea that I should look a certain way.
And even if I don’t agree with it, a part of me still internalized that over the years.

And also because this brings up a lot.

Years of training really hard.
Years of not seeing the kind of definition in my legs I thought I should have.
Years of questioning myself.
Years of teachers in dance university telling me my butt was “nice for the beach”… but not for ballet.

And if I’m really honest… years of blaming myself for it...

This quiet thought in the back of my head of “maybe I’m just not doing enough”.

Today, before surgery, my doctor was marking my legs and I told him that I didn't quite believe my diagnosis of lipedema the first time, so I went and saw another doctor who also confirmed it...

And even though my legs don’t “look that bad”, he explained that a big part of that is actually because of my muscle… but there is also quite a bit of fat there.

They removed around 4 liters. I’m still like… what??

But more than anything, it felt validating.

Because the pain was real.
The heaviness was real.
And hearing that, seeing that… it was actually very healing in a way I didn’t expect.

I think one of the biggest things I’m learning through all of this is to listen even more than I already did...

To people when they talk about their pain or their symptoms.
But mainly… to your own body.

Because the way my legs looked didn’t bother me that much.
I got used to the thick thighs life. Thick thighs save lives after all ♡

But the pain got to a point where it was affecting me daily and my job and that’s when I couldn't ignore it anymore.

So now I’m here.

At the beginning of a long recovery.
A lot of patience ahead.

Trying to meet my body with a bit more understanding this time.

And I’m going to share this journey a lot.

Because I know how many women are in a similar situation…and get ignored just because it “doesn’t look that bad”.

If you’re my friend or family and feel like I’m “sharing too much”… please respect that.

Other women sharing their journey helped me more than you can imagine.
I’m just trying to do the same.♡

One thing I hear ALL THE TIME from new clients…

They’ve been made to believe that if they’re not lifting heavy, it’s not even worth starting.

They say that’s what social media shows them.

“Go hard or go home.”

And don’t get me wrong…
lifting heavy is great and eventually essential.
It’s something we want to build towards.

But it’s not where everyone starts.

So when women don’t see themselves there yet…
they don’t start at all and this annoys the sh*t out of me.

The 4 women I'm talking about...

They didn’t start lifting heavy.
Some didn’t even start in a gym.

They started at home.
With what they had.
At their own pace.

And now?
They’re showing up on their own.

If you're not ready yet, heavy comes later.

Starting comes first ♡

The video quality is terrible, but it had to be said and this is real life.

You can be a strong badass woman
and still have days where life hits hard.

Instagram loves to show discipline, perfection, control.

Real life?
It’s messy.
It’s uncertain.
It’s emotional.

And that doesn’t make you weak.

It makes you human.

So if today you don’t have your s**t together,
welcome to the club.

We’re still strong here. ♡

It might not look severe...

But it hurts.

And that’s something people still don’t understand about lipedema ♡

Do you also struggle with this misconception?
Share it if it resonates. ♡

Slightly unhinged, deeply invested

that’s the combo 😂

You’re not just another name on a program here ♡

It’s not that I’m different.

I just refused to stay in the gap.

The gap between fitness advice
and women’s reality.

And it’s not that women need something completely different…

It’s that many coaches were never taught enough
about what women actually experience.

So I learned more.

Because you deserve a coach
who actually understands your body ♡

24/03/2026

Can I have a coach too? ♡

I used to look at this version of me and think
this is what strength looks like

Now I know better

Strength is showing up when your body hurts
when things don’t feel easy anymore
when progress doesn’t look impressive

6 years later
it’s messier
it’s slower
it’s not as pretty
but it’s real

My body has been through a lot...
pain, flare ups, setbacks
and yet
I’m still here
still trying
still lifting
still becoming

And I am still one of the strongest women I know

If you’re going through your own version of this
please don’t stop.

If I can ask you for one thing
don’t wait to feel perfect to start.

This is your reminder ♡
strength isn’t gone
just because it looks different

You can be soft
you can be struggling
and you can still be strong

We can do hard things ♡

Something interesting has come out of research in the last few years.

Our metabolism doesn’t suddenly crash with age the way many of us were led to believe.

So why do so many women start feeling weaker, more tired, and less resilient as the years go by?

A big part of the answer is muscle.

Many of us grew up with a fitness culture that focused mostly on cardio, aerobics, barre classes, and trying to stay skinny.

Think Jane Fonda workouts (who I absolutely love and respect), step classes, endless cardio sessions.

But building muscle was rarely part of the conversation for women.

So what many women experience later in life isn’t just “aging”.

It’s that we’re entering these years with less muscle than we could have had.

And muscle is one of the most protective things we can build for our future.

For our joints.
For our bones.
For our metabolism.
For our independence later in life.

The good news?

Muscle responds to training at any age.

It is never too late to start building strength. ♡
