Prioritising yourself isn’t a luxury it’s a necessity.
As a mother, a business owner, a partner, a friend, and a human, your energy fuels everything you touch. When you take care of yourself, everything else benefits: your kids feel a more present you, your work gets a clearer you, and you get to actually feel like a person.

But here’s the nuance we don’t talk about enough:
Yes, prioritising yourself matters. Deeply.
And also life comes with responsibilities. People rely on us. Deadlines exist. Kids still need dinner and cuddles and lifts everywhere. Growth requires discipline. Balance isn’t soft; it’s strategic.

So the real power move?
Learning when to pour into yourself, and when to step up for the things (and people) who genuinely matter.
Not martyrdom. Not selfishness.
Just intentional living.

You are allowed to matter.
And you are capable of holding both care for yourself and care for your world without losing either.

As we head into the busy season remember to look after yourself. X

For so many people, the word “exercise” feels heavy : like it has to be sweaty, structured, perfect or punishing. And that mindset can be a real barrier to simply moving your body in ways that feel good and doable.

But here’s the reframe: all movement is good.

If you focus on moving toward the WHO Physical Activity Guidelines, moving in ways you enjoy and breaking up long sitting periods — you can dramatically improve your healthspan: more years feeling strong, capable, energetic and independent.

Start where you are. Count what counts. Movement, in any form, is the medicine.

This social media platform is super amazing at showing all the glossy, high end, full throttle exercise (hell that’s me I share that a lot) but it’s not very good at remembering we are all different, have different priorities and starting from a different stage. Your journey is your own: one step in front of the other baby til you reach your own goals.
I aim to inspire not dictate. Maybe one day some more of you will join me heavy lifting, on a trail or in the Pilates studio but it’s also totally cool if that’s not on your agenda!!!

Fellow queenagers lets kick this midlife can down the road. 40 is no longer half way to snipers alley, far from it.
Eat your greens, smash your protein, exercise in the way you enjoy ( but please through some tin around occasionally), do what lights you up. Get your beauty sleep.
Protect your peace. Guard your joy.
Your throne needs you steady.
We ain’t zimmerframe racing until atleast 95….see you at the start line queen 🫅

GLP-1 medications — such as Wegovy, Ozempic and Saxenda available here in New Zealand , can be powerful tools for fat loss. By helping you lose body fat, they can significantly improve your metabolic health, lowering your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other weight-related conditions.

But here’s what many people don’t talk about: taking GLP-1s is not a set-and-forget fix. You must be informed. Do your research. Talk to your health providers. Know that consenting to this treatment means understanding not only the benefits, but the responsibilities too:

* once you stop the medication, much of the weight you lost can come back;
* during treatment, if you don’t also work on nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress, and lifestyle habits, you risk losing muscle as well as fat;
* and without that foundation, the weight you regain may be mostly fat — which can leave you in a worse metabolic state than before.

In short: GLP-1s can open a window for change. But to create lasting results, you have to make new habits, not rely on the medicine alone.
Gathering a team of health professionals can be beneficial and help you attain your goals.

Just a little reminder that social media is a marketing tool. Designed to sell things to you.
The Womens wellness & health space is a minefield of misinformation and if you are not careful can distort your view on reality.
Gets your basics sorted. You dont need to spend all your $$ on supplements you dont need or torture yourself into a shape that genetically is not meant to be.
I am chuckling at the irony that I have used shiny professional photos to get this point across.
