SUNDAY RESET ✨

I haven’t shared much about Cambodia yet. It was emotional, spiritual, and honestly, way bigger than I expected.

I went to sort out my ID—to reclaim my identity. But it ended up being more than just paperwork. It was legacy. It was healing. 🧬📄

My mum was everything through that. My translator. My strength. My rock. I couldn’t have done it without her. ❤️🙏🏽

And while I went for one reason, something else started stirring in Kampot. I won’t say too much just yet, but something is quietly unfolding. Something with purpose. And I know God’s hand is all over it. 🇰🇭✨

It wasn’t all smooth sailing. I hit a point where I nearly walked away. But God reminded me why I was called there. And I kept going.

I’ve learned God doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle. He stretches us. He pulls us out of comfort to show us who we’re becoming. And honestly—I’ve learned some hard lessons. But I wouldn’t trade them. They’ve made me who I am today.

I’m someone who shows up. Someone who doesn’t quit. When I say yes, I’m all in.

Funny thing is, I thought the vision was in Bali. But earlier this year, it shifted. Cambodia called. And I chose to trust the pivot—even when it didn’t make sense.

Since being back, life’s been non-stop. But today, my son invited me to church. And that message… it hit different.

A soft reminder that I’m not behind. I’m not unseen. And nothing done for God is ever in vain. 🤍

💔 Broken things can be made whole again
⚓️ Resurrection is our anchor
🕊️ Through Him, we rise again and again

Even when I feel lost, I pray for clarity. For strength. For trust. Because He’s never failed me yet.

Let Him lead. Let Him move. Just keep walking.

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…”
Hebrews 12:1–2

Five years ago, this photo was taken. Today, it reminded me how far we’ve come — and why I’m so proud of my son.

This is Malachi — my firstborn.
My not-so-little man.
And this post?
It’s my attempt to finally answer the question he always asks me:
“Why do you love me?”

The truth is — I just do. Unconditionally.
But here are a few of the reasons that stop me in my tracks and make me say,
“Wow… I’ve raised someone really special.”

💋 He kisses me on the forehead every time he leaves the house… and again when he comes home
🍳 He made me breakfast on Mother’s Day, took me to dinner, and let me sleep in — because he sees the weight I carry
🚗 He helps with school drop-offs — no fuss, just love
🥪 He makes sure his little brother has lunch packed on mornings we’ve missed the night before — especially after evenings spent being present, reading, laughing, and just living
🙏 He’s prayed over me when I couldn’t even pray for myself
🌙 He kisses me goodnight when I’m awake, and tiptoes quietly when I’m not — a kind of love that can’t be taught
⚙️ He’s building: two businesses, showing up at the gym, tinkering on his car — and today, he finally got it to start
(After weeks of trying, the issue? No fuel.)
Yes, I shouted: “It started, ya bastard!”
It gave us a good laugh — and a quiet win. Because he never stopped trying.

But more than anything?

He sees me.
He sees my hustle. My heart. My exhaustion. My why.
He understands what I carry — and more and more lately, he steps in and says:
“I’ve got this, Mum.”
And he really does.

As a mum juggling fitness, coaching, writing, red carpets, international filming, healing, and building for my next comp — I try to hold it all together.
And when something slips (rare, but real)…
He steps in. Quietly. Without being asked.
That’s love.

My mum always says:

“Pay your respects while your parents are still living — don’t wait until they’re in the grave.”

And Malachi… you do that.
You honour me in real time.
Not just with words — but with presence.

You say, “I’m not successful yet.”
But as Earl Nightingale said (thank you Jay for reminding me):

“Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

You’ve started. You’re showing up.
That’s success. That’s legacy.

These are just a few of the reasons why I love you.
And if this post embarrasses you? Good. You deserve to be celebrated.

I’m not crying, you are. 😭

For every woman who’s ever been underestimated…
For every chapter that started with, “you’re not ready”…
For every underdog who rose anyway—

This one’s for you.

This July, I’ll be featured in a global magazine that will be hitting major platforms across Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart and more.

I haven’t shared this part of my story in this way before.
It’s about legacy. faith. courage.
It’s about rewriting the narrative.
And it’s about what happens when you choose to rise—even when no one’s watching.

I can’t wait for you to see the design we created for it.
It carries meaning. It carries history.
It carries everything I stand for.

This is a moment—but more than that, it’s a message.
You don’t have to be loud to be powerful.
You don’t have to be famous to make impact.
You don’t need to fit the mould to shape the future.

The underdogs are rising.
Eyes on July.

Motherhood is a quiet kind of power.
It’s leading with love, even when your heart is heavy.
It’s building empires with one hand while holding your children with the other.
It’s showing up—present, purposeful, and powerful—even when life feels incomplete.

Right now, our little tribe is walking through a season that feels unbalanced.
But I’ve learned this:
You can honour the hard without losing hope.
You can keep rising even when part of your heart feels distant.

I’m still here.
Still lifting—my body, my mindset, my vision.
Still running businesses.
Still clocking into work.
Still holding space for my boys.
Still believing in reconciliation, redemption, and radical love.

Because that’s what mothers do.
We don’t crumble. We elevate.
We lead, we heal, we plant seeds even when we don’t see the harvest yet.

So if you’re a mum carrying the unseen weight—
If you’re in the middle of a chapter that feels tough to turn—
Please know:
Your strength is sacred. Your consistency is impact. And your love will never return void.

Happy Mother’s Day.
To the women holding it all—
You are seen. You are unstoppable. You are building more than a life…
You’re building legacy.

Big love and even bigger congrats from Down Under to this absolute legend — Holowaty — for taking home the Community Award at the DSA!

We may be in different time zones, but purpose knows no borders. It was my morning in Australia, his late-night pub stop in the UK — and a perfectly timed, slightly cheeky FaceTime the night before the big event. As soon as he mentioned the awards, I knew it was his. That quiet consistency and humble leadership always stands out.

What John brings to the table goes far beyond accolades. His leadership shows up in the unseen — in the check-ins, the belief, the patience, and the way he continues to hold space whether you’re in momentum or rebuilding. I’ve been lucky to witness it from Phoenix to Perth, Gold Coast to London, and most recently Spain.

He’s nudged me (lovingly) out of my comfort zone more times than I can count — especially on a stage! Speaking’s my greatest fear, but there he was, cheekily pulling me up to share at an event in London, and cheering from the sidelines like always.

We’re part of something global. A movement of heart-led humans doing meaningful work, creating impact, building legacy… and having a bloody good time doing it.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines thinking “there has to be more” — more meaning, more connection, more you — this might just be your sign.

So proud of you, John. This win is just the surface. And as for what’s brewing… well, let’s just say the Gecko’s stretching its legs 🦎🇰🇭

Stay tuned.

I still can’t believe it…
Red carpet ready.
Docuseries feature.
Global summit speaker.
And my second published book.

I didn’t see this coming — but when the invitation landed, I felt it in my spirit.
I said YES.

Yes to writing my heart out for a second anthology — this time, diving even deeper than the first.
Yes to being featured in a docuseries airing in over 127 countries. (Still processing that one!)
Yes to stepping on a global online summit stage, even though straight-up speaking has never been my strong suit.

But I keep showing up — not because I’m fearless, but because I’ve learned that growth lives outside comfort.
And I said yes because I know…
Someone, somewhere needs to see what’s possible.

This isn’t just about me.

It’s about every woman who’s been through the fire and still found her glow.
Every mama rebuilding.
Every athlete in recovery.
Every entrepreneur rising from scratch.
Every dreamer who’s tired, but not done.

This opportunity didn’t come because I was the loudest in the room —
It came because I kept walking. Kept believing. Kept building something real.

And now…
I get to walk a red carpet in Vegas or LA next year.
Celebrate something I once only dreamed of.
And remind other women: If I can do it — you can too.

So if you’ve been playing small, waiting for a sign…
This is it.

Say yes. Even if your voice shakes.
Say yes. Even if your knees do too.

Because your story deserves to be told.
And your light deserves to shine.

“You can’t change your body in 7 days?”
Think again.

After 2.5 years of comps, court stress, and tracking every gram — my body was done.
Hair falling out. Sleep broken. Nervous system fried.
I needed more than a break… I needed a reset.

So I did what I’ve done for 9 years — long before I ever prepped for stage:
I ran my InnerGlo Reset.
No macros. No pressure. Just movement, nourishment, and intention.

And since landing, I kicked off a 6-day reset — one I’ve trusted for nearly a decade.
While I didn’t scan exactly before it started, my post-travel scan revealed this:
• Body fat ⬇️ 2.1%
• Visceral fat ⬇️
• Muscle held ✅
• 400g lighter after two weeks of travel ✈️
• 4 new PBs hit in the gym today
• Resting heart rate dropped from 52 → 39 bpm over the last 6 days
• Hair regrowth finally kicking in
• Mood: restored. Me: reconnected.

No “challenge.” No diet.
Just a rhythm I return to again and again — because it works.

This is for the woman who shows up for everyone else… but is finally ready to come home to herself.

⸻

The next round of the InnerGlo Reset officially kicks off next month — but now’s the perfect time to prep.

Your glow gear (my go-to plant-based tools) takes around 10 working days to arrive.
So if you’re feeling the nudge — I’ll help you get set up gently, without the overwhelm.

You’ll get:
✨ My 7-day reset protocol
✨ Optional before/after photo tracking
✨ Real support — no gatekeeping, no gimmicks

DM me “RESET” or drop a comment and I’ll reach out with the details.

You don’t need 12 weeks.
You just need 7 days, the right rhythm, and a little head start.
Let’s get your glow back.

🔥 The War Against Myself—And Winning It 🔥

Who would’ve thought that at 40 years old, I’d step onto a bodybuilding stage, in a bikini and heels, competing against elite world-class athletes? Not me.

But I did it. And I won.

This throwback to peak week hits differently. A quiet moment before the world stage. Before the lights, the crowd, and the adrenaline. Just me, my thoughts, and the journey that got me here.

I had every reason to quit:
💥 An 8-year-long court battle.
💥 Financial abuse that kept trying to hold me back.
💥 Emotional battles that nearly broke me.
💥 Juggling single motherhood, multiple income streams, and intense prep.

Some days, I could barely function. I had to fight back tears before stepping on stage. But through it all, I never stopped pushing forward.

Because if I had listened to the voices—the ones that said,
❌ “You’re too old.”
❌ “You’re just a mum.”
❌ “You can’t.”
I wouldn’t be here.

Bodybuilding became my battlefield.
It taught me discipline, resilience, and the power of showing up even when I didn’t feel like it.

Fast forward to today:
✔️ 10kg up from stage weight, feeling stronger than ever.
✔️ Smashing PBs, throwing my weight around in the gym.
✔️ 17 days deep into Gymshark66, proving to myself daily that I CAN.
✔️ Something HUGE is about to come to an end this Tuesday, and I can’t wait to share it.

This is why I share my journey.
Because I know someone out there needs this reminder:

You are stronger than you think. You can rise. You can rewrite your story.

If this resonated, drop a 🔥 in the comments and let’s keep pushing past limits together. Your comeback starts NOW. 💪✨

WEEK 3: 10 KILOS HEAVIER, 10 PBs STRONGER & 15 DAYS DEEP 🔥

Workout. A simple word, but damn, it means everything right now.

10 kilos up since stage weight. 10 PBs in the last two days. 15 days into and still going strong.

Is being 10 kilos heavier ideal for my calisthenics goals? Probably not. Would I be able to smash out more reps if I weighed less? Absolutely. But you know what? I’m throwing my weight around in the gym—literally—and feeling stronger than ever.

This challenge isn’t just about showing up; it’s about showing up with intention. Saying YES to my goals, YES to growth, and YES to fueling my body the way it deserves. After years of depleting for back-to-back comps, this season is all about replenishing, recovering, and rebuilding—physically, mentally, emotionally.

And let’s talk about saying NO. No to distractions. No to parties. No to collaborations that don’t align with my long-term vision. No to things that drain rather than elevate me. Because every “no” is really a “yes” to what matters most—my health, my goals, my future.

While most are cutting for summer, I’m fueling for performance. Training to grow, not shrink. Nourishing my body, instead of starving it. And you best believe we’re still getting lean muscle gains along the way.

Gymshark you keeping up? 😉 15 days down, 51 to go. Let’s keep this momentum rolling. 💥

✨ “It’s midnight, and just like that, I step into 42 with gratitude, strength, and a fire to keep growing, building, and living life to the fullest. The past year? One for the books—full of breaking, rebuilding, lessons, and levelling up. 2024 wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. It reminded me that growth happens in the toughest seasons, and resilience is forged through challenges.

There were days when showing up felt impossible, when I didn’t want to get out of bed. But I learned something valuable—progress isn’t about being perfect every day. It’s about showing up, even on those ‘half-assed’ days, doing what you can, and trusting that every step forward counts. Through heartache, self-doubt, and countless hurdles, I gave it my all. I juggled being a single mum of three, coaching at F45, working special ops, and building a business, all while staying committed to my personal growth.

This journey wasn’t just about survival—it was about transformation. I faced moments that could have broken me, but instead, they strengthened me. I reclaimed my identity, my confidence, and my purpose. I travelled solo through nine countries, placed 3rd at the ICN World Natural Games, bought a new car, and inspired Healthy Living Worldwide. I grew through it all—not just mentally or physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.

And now, stepping into 42, I feel unstoppable. This year is about more than survival; it’s about thriving. I’m ready to grow in every way—personally, professionally, and financially. I’ve laid the foundation, faced the battles, and now it’s time to rise higher and build the life I’ve dreamed of. If you’re in a tough season, know this: you’re being refined, not broken. Keep going, because on the other side of the storm is strength, clarity, and growth.

So here’s to celebrating life, to learning, evolving, and becoming the best version of ourselves. I’m keeping this birthday simple, surrounded by my closest people, full of love and gratitude. Cheers to a transformative 2025—and to all of you showing up every day, no matter what. Let’s keep growing and rising. Let’s freaking go!✨

Feeling so grateful and overwhelmed with pride! 🥹✨ Competing on the world stage at the ICN World Natural Games at the Australian Institute of Sport was a dream come true, and having the unwavering support of my Juice Plus+ family made it even more special. 💪🏾🌟
