I didn’t want to admit this.
Selfish? Doesn’t sound s*xy.
Dedicated? Committed? Brave?
WAY hotter.

But behind my dedication & commitment to charity fitness events & always having a goal, was a constantly decreasing bottle of self esteem that overflowed with anxiety & could only be balanced by movement & a more than slightly selfish perspective on my health & fitness.

It wasn’t until hard conversations become more frequent & I forced myself to look at my exercise patterns & reactions to exercise as if ‘exercise’ was alcohol, s*x, drugs or gambling.

I had the shameful realisation that in a lot of moments, I was behaving like an addict when they couldn’t get a hit.

When you do this, what realisation do you have?

For me. It was hard to admit I needed to slow down & let people in. It meant risking giving up control.

I realised that despite looking healthy & feeling physically strong; my body was giving me warning signs I was anything but.

And it wasn’t just me facing the consequences; it was those I love too. That was heartbreaking.

But what was harder? Continuing the same patterns with open eyes.

I had to make a decision, perhaps you might need to do the same too.

Do I change? Have a relationship with health & fitness that doesn’t control me? Or continue down a route or self description that I’d disguised as ‘discipline’

What did I want more than control?
A meaningful life. To make a difference. A family. Love. Laughter. Honesty. To actually lead my example & inspire change.

It’s hard. But we can do hard things.
Need support?

no sound needed because the audio to the 2nd slide is how I want the rest of my life to sound 🥹

A week of challenge, charity & community that ended with less of a bang more of a “wait what are you serious what are you doing is this real omg okay yes”

For those looking to give back to Bali -> needs us now more than ever! With rising cost of living in Bali & tourism decreasing, they’re under a lot of pressure that only builds as new families & children rely on them for shelter, food & safety.

You can donate directly by visiting their website or instagram profile, or find them at every Sunday.

What a whirlwind of a week. Volcanos. Engagements. Copious exercise. Sunrises: early starts. New friends. Old friends. Lifelong memories. Wowza.

But it’s normal to lose your cycle from hard training, right?

I’d say it’s COMMON, but it’s not normal, nor should it be expected.

You could argue it’s also common to get knee injuries from over training, is that normal or something to be ignored? Because that constant knee pain is a lot harder to ignore - right?

A missing period is easy to bypass & push aside, especially as society deems them as inconvenient, instead of a vital sign your body is healthy & thriving.

Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is a metabolic illness that occurs as a way to conserve energy & vital nutrients to keep your basic needs functioning. When your period becomes irregular or missing, you also may notice:

• more issues with your digestion like constant bloating, constipation or undigested food in stools
• frequent urination, especially early in the morning
• low mood & increased anxiety, body image problems
• increase injuries, aches & tendon pains
• memory loss or feeling ‘ditzy’
• increases heart rate on easy training runs
• low blood pressure & low resting heart rate
• anaemia & other vitamin deficiencies
• increased facial & body hair

…. the list continuous. But unlike that knee pain, it doesn’t just come on all of a sudden. It’s a slow build up from months, often years of ignoring rest days, low calorie/low fat / low carbohydrate diets & common amount those of us who like to ✨be perfect✨ & dislike ✨’unproductive’ rest ✨

You know what’s a big killer for productivity?
Injury; disease; illness. Which will happen the longer you ignore your symptoms.

Which is why I’m rebuilding my fitness, after recovering from HA, to prioritise TRUE & sustainable health.

Ive found other ways to be productive, I’ve let go of the need to perform & my goal isn’t to look the ‘healthiest’ it’s to be the healthiest role model for woman around the world, struggling with what is once was.

If this resonates with you, drop me a DM ✨ you CAN have the health you deserve without sacrifice.

Think of the 8 people closest to you. 1 of those (at the bare minimum) is suffering with a mental health condition.

With increased isolation & online communication - the loneliness epidemic is only growing, & with that we are seeing a rise in mental health conditions. Globally.

The sad part? That statistics in places like Indonesia are severely under-reported; a lack of government mental health support services, awareness initiatives, cultural & religious beliefs, education around mental health & how it’s viewed in society are all contributing factors.

But you know the good news in amongst the heaviness of it all?

A part of the solution is found in community. A sense of belonging. An inclusive space.

And you could be reading this & think your presence at a community event doesn’t matter. Perhaps don’t believe you’re fit enough to join your local run club or free fitness event. That no one even notices you or cares.

But to build a community it takes a community, and your presence, your story, your struggles could literally change someone’s life & give them that sense of belonging they need to be brave & get the support we all deserve.

Strong alone, stronger together.
If you’re feeling lonely, lost, sad - like life is hard & heavy - the last thing you probably want to do is socialize, but annoyingly, finding that community is probably the best thing for you.

This is your gentle nudge to go. You can be quiet. Sit at the back. Do your own thing. But try. Give it a red hot go. Because it can’t be worse than being on your own, staying where you are & not giving yourself a true chance for change.

would love to have you, or if you’re more of a wine & steak girl, then so would

Alternatively, has so many meet ups in Bali or search your Facebook for local groups in areas of your interest.

You’re only ever as alone as you think you care ❤️✨

Everyone’s talking about different health hacks to calm their central nervous system but idk babe have you tried just doing the little things??? Having fun?? A good giggle in the middle of an op shop?? Having a dance, hugging a puppy/mother/sister/baby, ignoring the lactose intolerance for the night and eating the ice cream??? Running for enjoyment not pace?? Idk just a thought.
crouch reminded me in her instagram story today to ‘enjoy the life your building’ & this is me reminding you to do the same 🪩🤠💃🏼

To all my ❤️ one dopamine chaser with a sensitive tummy & slight exercise addiction to another 👸🏼🥰

The solution to your IBS / anxiety / missing period won’t be found in the gym / on a run / on a detox / purchasing a supplement subscription or workout plan from an influencer with sub 15% body fat & no qualifications & real life coaching experience…

However it will (annoyingly) be found in everything you’re NOT doing; Aka eating all major food groups, sleeping, resting, chewing your food, structuring your races/events responsibly, having boundaries, prioritising social & emotional health as much as you prioritise physical…

The list goes on. You know what you need to do.
That’s not where you’re struggling. You most likely need support from someone that’s been their, and has worked with others who’ve also been their and gotten to the other side.

If you’re a woman wanting a regular cycle, to make progress in the gym & be able to have anxiety free rest days - message COACHING ❤️ to find an approach to fitness that complements your life, not consumes it ❤️🥰
