Coaching with Debra

Coaching with Debra Debra is passionate about empowering women to invest in themsev

I help women feel empowered to never give up and that it is not to late, you're not too old and you can lose weight & keep it off, improve your health and FEEL great.

It’s more than just a walk.

On Sunday I’ll be sharing a health talk all about staying consistent when life isn’t perfect and breaking the stop–start cycle so many women feel stuck in.

We’ll walk, then sit down with a drink in Dallings and talk through practical ways to approach your health in a way that actually fits real life.

This is a small, supportive group and we’re nearly full now.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your reminder!

Booking closes tomorrow evening.

This belief sits at the heart of my coaching. Helping women move away from the exhausting cycle of stopping and starting over and over again.

Not by trying harder.
Or having more willpower.

But by learning how to stay consistent when life isn’t perfect.

That’s exactly what I’ll be bringing to my local event, Stop Starting Over.

This Sunday, 22 February we’ll combine movement, connection with an honest conversation about building habits that actually fit into real life.

If this resonates with you and you’re ready to approach things differently, message me today and I’ll send you the details.

There are just a few spaces left.

For 30 years I’ve watched women blame themselves for a cycle that’s never been about willpower.

If you’re tired of falling off track and starting again every Monday, this is your invitation to do things differently.

This Sunday, 22 February at Dallings.

There are a few spaces still available. If you’re local, I’d love to welcome you.

Message me now and I’ll send you the details and how to join.

And the pattern isn’t that women don’t try.

It’s that they try hard… then life happens.

They start focused. They’re motivated. They want to feel better.

But when things aren’t perfect, when life gets stressful, sleep is impacted, hormones fluctuate, the weekend doesn’t go to plan…
It suddenly feels easier to stop and “start again properly” next week.

Over time, that cycle doesn’t just affect habits.

It affects confidence.

I see women begin to doubt themselves.
Their discipline.
Their willpower.
Their ability to stick to anything.

But it’s not about berating yourself and telling yourself to ‘try harder.’

It’s about learning how to stay consistent when life isn’t perfect.

And that is exactly what Stop Starting Over is about.

This local Sunday’s Walk & Talk isn’t just a walk.
It’s a conversation about breaking that stop–start cycle and building habits that actually fit into real life.

Six women are already joining us.
There are a few spaces still available if you’d like to be part of this small, practical and supportive group of women.

Message me and I’ll send you the details to join.

Everything I didn’t do last week…

I didn’t eat enough protein every day.
I ate meals out.
I didn’t hit my steps every day.
I missed part of a workout.

I didn’t prep all my food.
I had wine midweek.
I didn’t get to bed as early as I’d planned.

Last week wasn’t perfect.
And that’s the point.

Because here’s what I also didn’t do…

🙌I didn’t spiral.
🙌I didn’t tell myself I’d ruined it.
🙌I didn’t go into “I’ll start again Monday” mode.
🙌I didn’t throw the whole week away because it wasn’t perfect.

I just kept going.

That’s what consistency actually looks like.

Not ticking every box.
Not perfect days.
Not rigid rules.

But continuing even when life is busy, social, messy or a bit off plan.

One imperfect day or even a week doesn’t undo your progress.

Perfection isn’t the goal.
Not quitting is.

If this sounds familiar and you’re tired of the stop-start cycle, let’s change that.

Message me and I’ll show you how to build progress without needing perfect weeks.

It’s not just a walk.

Afterwards, we sit down with a drink and talk about something so many women quietly struggle with, staying consistent without needing to be perfect.

This Sunday we’re exploring why willpower isn’t the problem… and how to build habits that actually fit into real life.

No lectures.
No pressure.
Just honest conversation and practical reassurance.

We start this Sunday, 22 February at Dallings.

If you’d like to join us, message me and I’ll send you the details 🤍

My client told me she is feeling her strongest, fittest and healthiest self ever and that she is feeling great.

She is also in her late 50’s.

And only started following a structured training programme 6 months ago.

She’s not just ‘doing exercise,’ she’s training with purpose.

She’s building strength week after week and working towards a fitness challenge she once never believed was possible for her.

And with every week that passes, she makes a little more progress, her self belief raises a little more and her goal is starting to feel believable.

💪Her lifts are improving.
💪Her strength is improving.
💪Her fitness is improving.
🙌Her confidence is improving.

So why is she still feeling an emotional pull when she steps on the scales and the number hasn’t lowered…

This is exactly where so many women get stuck.

The scale measures total body weight - bones, organs, fat, muscle, water.

It doesn’t measure strength.
It doesn’t measure muscle gain.
It doesn’t measure resilience.
It doesn’t measure the belief that’s quietly growing each week.

And it certainly doesn’t measure the awesomeness she FEELS 😁.

Her body composition also LOOKS pretty good too 😍.

When you start training properly, especially in your 40s and 50s, your body changes in ways the scale doesn’t always immediately reflect. It doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress.

Like my client, if you’re exercising consistently and getting stronger, you are not going backwards.

Sometimes progress isn’t lighter.
Sometimes it’s stronger.

And stronger at this stage of life.. this is something to be incredibly proud of ☺️.

Keep going regardless of the scales.

15/02/2026

Starting again on Monday isn’t really about food.

It’s about how quickly one imperfect moment turns into a full reset.

You begin the week with good intentions. Life happens. Things aren’t perfect.

And before you know it, you’re back to telling yourself you’ll start properly next week.

Over time that cycle can quietly chip away at your confidence.

You start to question your discipline. Your willpower. Your ability to stay consistent.

But most women don’t lack effort.

More often than not, they’ve simply been trying to make approaches work that were never designed to fit real life.

And when something isn’t sustainable, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means the method wasn’t right.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping women move away from the exhausting cycle of stopping and starting again, the ‘all or nothing’ mindset and the yoyo dieting approach that leaves you doubting yourself.

There is a more sustainable way to approach your health. One that is more realistic and sustainable and allows for real life.

If this resonates, feel free to message me and I’ll share something that might help.

Debra 💙.

I was 45 when I started lifting weights.
I’m now almost 56 and so glad I started.

I am proof that it is possible to build muscle, get strong and tone up over 40.
My clients are proving this too.

As we get older, we naturally lose muscle. And you may think that you don’t want to “build muscle.”

But muscle is what gives that toned look so many women say they want. It’s also vital for your health.

Muscle supports your joints, protects your bones, helps maintain your metabolism and keeps you stronger, healthier and more capable as you age.

This isn’t about chasing youth.
It’s about looking after yourself.

If you’re thinking you’ve left it too late… you haven’t.
It’s never too late to start.

Time is going to pass anyway.
You can let it pass getting weaker or you can let it pass getting stronger.

If you’re ready to start building strength and confidence in your 40s, 50s or beyond, send me a message. I’ll help you take the first step.

Debra 💪

Our Story

A women’s Jogging Club set up in 2010 by a local Abbots Langley mum, Debra Geard.

Now approaching it’s 8th year no one could have predicted the success the group would have.

We have become a very special running group where friendships have been formed. We are supportive of each other and together we have experienced running events that we never thought we would do!

Ladies have started running when they never thought they could with long term goals achieved. We never lose sight of keeping the sessions enjoyable and very sociable!
