Can mums really have it all?

Happy Mother's Day to every mum figuring it out.

Days like today make me reflect and this year I keep coming back to the same question.

I used to think it was a choice. Career or kids? Ambition or presence?

I once asked a woman I deeply admired - a board-level leader, what her biggest regret was. Without hesitating, she said: not having enough time with her kids.

That stayed with me.

I'm not here to say there's a right or wrong and I'm definitely not here to say I've got it figured out. Six years into running my own business and I'm still tweaking, still learning, still getting it wrong some days.

But what I have learned is that you don't have to choose. It's just not the clean, polished version of "having it all."

It's stolen hours. Early mornings and long evenings after bedtime. It's finding pockets of time for yourself, even if that looks like launching a slam ball at the floor to clear your head.

Because here's what I keep coming back to: the time where she truly needs me? It's just a phase. And it's one I'm not willing to compromise on.

So I protect that. And I build everything else around it.

To every mum doing the same, you're not alone!

500 workouts.

Not because she felt like it every time. Not because the stars aligned. Because my client decided consistency wasn't negotiable.

She tracks her work. She shows up. She doesn't wait for permission or perfect conditions - she just gets it done.

She's a doer, not a talker. Just relentless action. And honestly? She challenges me as a coach in the best way. She questions things, pushes back when needed, holds herself accountable and expects the same from me.

This is what building something real looks like. Not motivational quotes or transformation photos, but hundreds of small decisions when no one's watching when it's not for Insta.

The data doesn't lie. The work speaks for itself.

If you're wondering whether consistency actually works, whether the boring stuff matters, whether you can trust the process, here's your proof. We've completed hundreds of sessions together and this is all the footage I have, oh yes because we're busy working.

Proud doesn't even cover it.

So here we are.

My business manager encouraged me to bring all the different parts of what I do under one roof and it feels like the right time.

I’ve always loved my name, Avia. It holds a lot of meaning, but what stays with me most is that it’s rooted in the Hebrew word for “my father.”

And that feels especially fitting, because he’s the reason I lift weights.

A few things about me…

I work as a 1:1 coach and I’m incredibly grateful to be fully booked, supporting clients I’ve worked with for 3 years and beyond. Watching people grow stronger, physically and mentally never gets old.

On Mondays, you’ll find me coaching at The Barn KT9, and one of my favourite things is seeing how people arrive… and how much happier they seem by the time they leave.

I also nutrition coach online, helping people build habits that actually stick, at a pace that feels realistic, manageable and human.

Alongside that, I head up new business at 360 Training, where I facilitate management development, especially for first-time managers stepping into management for the first time.

And behind the scenes, I work with The Barn team on corporate away-days, creating spaces where teams can reset, reconnect and think differently.

I’m also a mum of one, my one and only and she is truly my favourite company.

I can’t really watch TV. I’m not built for sitting still, which irritates the hell out of my husband.

I care deeply about people. I feel things hard. If someone I love is struggling, I wear it too.

My circle is small. I’m very private. But once you’re in, you’re in for life.

I’ve lived in three different countries, moved around a lot… until I fell in love with a boy who convinced me life was more fun when you stop being the littlest hobo.

And here we are.

I’m really glad you’re here too.

I tried to make a beautiful reel.
Clips of strong bodies, full rooms, early mornings with clients, long days and everything in between.

But the truth is, I don’t know how anyone does this without spending hours perfecting it.
So… huge respect.

Instead, this is my thank you.

This year, quietly and consistently, I’ve coached (roughly):
728 1:1 sessions
208 classes
624 hours of delivery
8 corporate events
8 corporate facilitations

But numbers only ever tell part of the story.

Behind them are conversations, trust, shared effort, laughter, tired legs, nervous beginnings, brave moments and steady commitment, from people who kept showing up.

To my clients, some of you I’ve worked with for one year, some for six. Thank you for choosing me, for letting me in, for putting up with my bad counting and for doing the work even when life was full.

To for being more than a space. For holding community, energy and warmth in a way that can’t be replicated.

To The Barn KT9 members, for showing up each week. For allowing me into your motherhood journey. For the best hugs, and for the laughter.

To my 360 Training family and in particular thank you for the belief, the stretch, and the chance to grow in ways I didn’t know I needed.

To my husband , for listening to an idea I had 6 years ago and backing me every single day.

I feel deeply grateful for what’s been built, slowly and with care. I’m quietly excited for what comes next.

Here’s to the next chapter. Wishing everyone a beautiful end to the year 🤍

Seven years ago today, I was on my first day of maternity leave. I thought I had time.

But she had another idea, arriving nine days early.

Tomorrow, our girl turns seven. And without trying, she’s taught me more than any title, pay cheque, or carefully laid plan ever could.

She made me even more resilient. IVF will do that. Strength, learned before motherhood even began (IVF mum's we're made of the hard stuff).

She made me present.
Nothing commands my attention quite like she does. Time with her is sacred, non-negotiable.

She changed how I define success.
I stepped away from a career I loved, one where I was among the top percentage of female earners and built something of my own. Because sometimes, proximity to the people you love matters more than the numbers.

She reminded me how to move freely.
To dance. To be silly. To care less about how it looks and more about how it feels.

She expanded my capacity for worry,
only because she expanded my capacity for love.

She brought play back into my life.
Wonder. Curiosity. The beauty hiding in plain sight.

She nudged me back toward myself.
What I enjoy. Who I’m becoming.
Gently and sometimes firmly, pushing me beyond my comfort zone.

And she reminds me, every single day,
that love really is the greatest thing we get to experience.

Seven years in.

And I’m still learning.

Let's talk about Fibre.

Only around 4% of UK adults hit the recommended 30g of fibre a day.

Four percent. That’s tiny and it explains why so many people struggle with digestion, energy dips and cravings even when their training is consistent.

Fibre isn’t a trend. It’s a small, everyday habit that supports:
• digestion
• fullness
• stable energy
• gut health
• recovery

Food always comes first.
Think oats, berries, wholegrains, beans, lentils, veg, these are the real foundations.

But if you’re someone who:
- eats on the go
- doesn’t love veg
- has a small appetite
or just struggles to reach 25–30g consistently
then something like Artah Fibre Essentials can be a simple top-up. Not a fix, just an easy add-in.

If you want my Everdare Fibre Boost Cheat Sheet, just DM me FIBRE and I’ll send it over.

Let’s talk intensity because soreness isn’t a progress report.

You don’t have to crawl out of the gym to get results. But you do have to train with intent. Too many people stop when it gets uncomfortable, not when it gets effective.

Here’s your quick gut-check 👇
- If you can chat through the set → too easy
- Last 2–3 reps slow down but form stays tight → perfect
- If you’re wrecked for three days → too much

That middle ground? That’s where the magic happens.

Here’s the science bit:
💪 If my client’s goal = get stronger (lift heavier, better performance) → we focus on load, technique, moderate reps, I don’t burn them out on ever set.
🔥 If my client's goal = build muscle/hypertrophy (shape, aesthetics) → I incorporate sets closer to failure (within reason) but we manage recovery.

You don’t need to hit failure every time.
You need consistency, load, and good form under fatigue.

Slow, solid reps. Smart recovery.
That’s how we build strength that lasts.

Half term. Work calls. Client check-ins. Family time.

Some days feel like a sprint.

It’s ok if the plan isn’t perfect.
If workouts look different.

If “meal prep” is just making sure there’s fruit and veg in the fridge.

Progress doesn’t need perfection, it just needs presence.

Keep showing up, in whatever way fits today.

I’ve been reading The 5 Types of Wealth and one idea really stuck with me.

We talk so much about financial wealth, but the book reminds us that time is the rarest currency of all. The hours we spend with people we love, doing things that give us energy, that’s real wealth.

Because if success costs you your health, your peace, or your connection to the people who matter most, is it really wealth at all?

This came up in conversation with a high performer who’s just joined Everdare and it hit home for both of us.

So I thought I’d share it here, as a little food for thought this week.

Thanks to for the book recommendation and to for sparking the conversation.

Start by eating enough throughout the day.

Build balanced meals, don’t “save” calories.

Your evening self will thank you.

Fuel smarter, not less.
That’s the Everdare way ⚡️

Discipline isn’t about restriction, it’s a daily act of self-belief. It’s how you build the energy, confidence and freedom you’ve been craving. Ready to back yourself?

Get in touch. We're about to get going!

✨ I have to → I get to ✨

Shift your mindset and see habits as opportunities, not obligations. Perfection isn’t the goal, progress is. Celebrate small wins, because each step forward counts.

Vague intentions don’t stick. Ask yourself:
"Is my goal specific enough? Does it truly matter to me?"

To finally break free from unwanted patterns:

✔️Understand the power of small habits
✔️Learn how to avoid the all-or-nothing mindset
✔️Implement doable changes that empower you, not drain you

Each tiny step adds up, progress over perfection, every time. 💪✨
