On: setting your own standards, rather than subscribing to the Instagram and fitness influencer narrative that your life should wholly revolve around fitness and training…

I’ve got my first ever Hyrox Singles race tomorrow at London Olympia…
Am I feeling 100% prepared for it? No

Am I going to have a perfect race and a perfect time on that famous screen on the end? No

Does it matter? No!!!!

I hear this from people and clients ALL THE TIME…
There’s no way I can sign up for X - I’m not fit enough
I can’t try that kind of workout - I’m not strong enough
I can’t wear shorts - I’m not skinny/lean enough…

I can’t do X because of Y *insert imperfect conditions*

But that’s what is keeping us stuck! Worrying about not fitting this fake made up standard that we set for ourselves… thinking that everyone is watching us, waiting for our downfall

It’s part of human survival psychology that we’ve not evolved out of

But it doesn’t serve us

And it stops us from just doing the thing

So here’s to doing things, setting YOUR OWN standard… testing your own baselines under imperfect conditions… and not feeling guilty for having A LIFE

imo - training and challenges should fit AROUND your life
- NOT your life fitting around your training

and I think if we could be a bit more compassionate to ourselves about that, then fitness would feel less like a chore (as I know it does for some many) and be able to become something we enjoy and embrace :)

2026 wrapped: so far

heavy on boundaries
heavy on protecting my energy
R E G U L A T I O N
laughing at the synchronicities of life
remembering that every step back is rewarded with a step forward to the next level
C O N V E R S A T I O N S = inspiration
intentional alone time is a gift
learning to care, love and help others without self abandonment
stepping into a new era
F R E E D O M starts in your mind
the world is your oyster if you let it - four countries this year already
lack of action is sometimes self protection
A U R A AURA A U R A
always give more than you take
reminding myself who tf I am

I LOVE meme carousels so thought I’d share my own….

Doing things by halves will cost you your joy, your health, and your fulfilment in life…

Nearly every client that comes to me has “tried the gym before” or “tried to….” (fill the blank with: lose weight, get fit, become more confident…)

Nearly every friend has had a business idea or dream or hobby they wanted to pursue… but many don’t actually even try

It’s interesting to look at, reflect on and try to understand the psychology of why we often have big hopes and dream, but often don’t end up attempting to achieve them, let alone actually realising them 🤔

I think if mores people reflected on this, and understood that it is our fear of being PERCEIVED by others is what often blocks us from taking action and “doing the thing”, we would probably stop labelling ourselves as “broken”, “lazy”, etc etc

… and then maybe actually see that there IS a path forward to change

The biggest block will always be your own mind
In ANYTHING

Fitness, career, moving country, doing anything that is outside of the ordinary

Do you care about the things that actually matter?

Have you ever actually sat in your emotions…
felt them fully…
and even celebrated them – instead of running from them?

I encourage my clients to slowly become comfortable exposing and confronting emotions and patterns. But we rarely talk about what that actually looks like.

Because emotional processing and expression looks different for everyone.

Some clients journal.
Some scribble nonsense on a page.
Some shake or dance to music.
Some voice note their thoughts and never listen back.

It might sound strange.

But from research and lived experience, years of coaching and countless conversations with clients where extremely vulnerable things get shared in sessions – and through my own journey – I’ve learned something important:

Unprocessed emotions and dysregulated responses are often what drive behaviours that are unhelpful for our health, wellbeing and fitness.

When emotions stay buried, they tend to show up somewhere else.

Overeating.
Neglecting our bodies.
Poor habits.
Burnout.
Avoidance.

I understand this might seem like a vulnerable overshare.

But actually it isn’t.

This is the reality of what a lot of people go through – they just let it bubble away inside, never naming their feelings or giving themselves permission to crumble.

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been on a bit of a wild ride this past year.

But not many people know that I’ve really got into reading poetry as a form of self-expression.
(inner geek is geeking x)

This one is actually from the archives – something I wrote towards the end of last year while reflecting on the year I’d had in 2025.

You might read this and think:

“That’s not a poem.”

And honestly… that’s fine.

Just read the last line 🤗

If you made it this far, I hope something in it was helpful!

Chatty one: on this Valentine’s Day ❤️

31/10/2025

Instagram it’s been a hot minute… HAPPY FRIDAY.

Lots of people talk about a dream life. As if it’s this intangible thing, consisting of perfect days, weeks, a beautiful house, car, or ultimate confidence, happiness, and endless abundance.

But I’ve realised recently that, for me, anyway, my dream life is about doing things every day that simply bring me JOY. Always working on something. Spending my days growing, yes, but equally being filled with connection, laughter, adventure, and purpose.

So I am consciously building more of that in.

Why do we put a “dream life” on a pedestal, as if it’s something we should always be aiming and working for, rather than something we are actively living IN?

I’ve taken some moments to reflect on this recently and had some interesting convos. I think we could all be living a lot closer to our version of a dream life if we stopped to consider what actually makes us happy, how to build more presence into our day, more purpose and more joy.

But that’s just me 🤣🩵🧚‍♂️

Have a smashing weekend x

I went to the gym with my mum today - she is 61 and amazing !!!! (if she can do it so can you….) 👀 Mum started progressive strength training in recent years to stay in control of her long-term health, muscle mass and strength.

She’s been amazingly brave, navigating a training program, and showing up for herself alone - but today we went together to run through a new program in more detail, and go over anything she was unsure on.

Then a little bonus, I asked what was the scariest piece of equipment in the gym - because I’m sure if it’s scary to Shirls, it’s scary to someone else online.

Today’s pic was the GHD machine (not the hair straightener type lol) - the glute-hamstring developer.

Watch and save for how to use this machine without falling off (because I hear this so much from clients that they scared on this one!!!) and how to manipulate your movement to target both your lower back and then your glutes ❤️‍🔥

You’re welcome, like and save for your next workout - adios, goodbye, ciao ciao 👋🏼 xx
