As I write this, it’s the 1st of November and I love this time of year a) because I’m a big Christmas fan and can officially say Christmas is next month (!) and b) because I have a surge of self-motivation and ‘let’s get things done or achieved’ mentality so I end the year on […]
As many of you will know, I have a slight love-hate relationship with the Great British Bake Off. I’m not a fan of anything that glorifies sugar and as I explained in my temptation blog a few weeks ago, the GBBO typically inspires most people to want to eat more cake (cake tin sales are supposedly […]
Last year, I sent out a survey based on women’s lifestyle and mindset challenges, because I really wanted to see where women needed support and help. Over 250 women completed the survey and I was blown away by how many women deemed confidence as one of their top issues that stopped them becoming the best […]
Whether it’s falling pregnant, being made redundant, your boyfriend cheating on you, being diagnosed with cancer or anything big that you weren’t expecting to happen to you right now, these are what I call plot twists. Very few people go through life without having to deal with a plot twist at some stage or another […]
If you haven’t watched Jamie Oliver’s Sugar Rush program yet, I highly recommend it. It has been great to see someone like him finally get behind the seriousness of the health issues this country and others are facing from high sugar consumption. Diabetes has increased 60% in a decade, there are over 7000 amputations […]
Kate Winslet has made me a little mad recently. I’m actually a massive fan of hers – I think she’s a wonderful actress and I think she’s done many things to help women understand that you don’t have to be thin to be successful. However, a few weeks ago, I saw a post on the Kate […]
It’s a question I’m asked all the time. Along with ‘Is it too late to change?’ and ‘Am I a lost cause?’ Our minds are wonderful things, but my god can they hold us back and screw us up! But the even more wonderful thing about them, is that with the right approach and of […]
One thing I’ve come to realize about women is that we’re very good (myself included occasionally!) of coming up with excuses as to why we can’t do something when it comes to being focused with food and fitness or pursuing a goal or dream. Equally one of the biggest roadblocks I see when women want […]
Today I’m celebrating. As you’ll all know, I like to inspire by example. Although I keep myself active and healthy all year round, training really hard like I did in my twenties isn’t always sustainable bringing up twins by myself and running two businesses. Whilst health is one of my top values, having a really […]
I’m often asked by clients that if they had just 7 days to get body ready for a special occasion or event, what would I recommend. Sometimes it’s a wedding, wanting to wear a fitted dress on a hot date, a last minute holiday booked or weekend away after a crazy busy work schedule. I […]
