LIFE AND WELLNESS
Featured
Life as a woman in leadership comes with immense rewards, but it can also bring unique challenges—especially during major transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, and career shifts. Burnout, depression, and the pressures of maintaining a high-level career while navigating personal life changes can feel overwhelming. If you're a driven woman balancing leadership and family, this blog is for you.
I use this platform to empower women in all areas of life, whether that’s business, wealth, self-worth, health or wellness. Today, I want to talk about women and our menstrual cycles 🙈 This isn’t just one for the ladies! Guys, it’s super important for you to understand how a woman’s body works too 🙏
Recently I’ve been chatting with you all about some of the things we discuss in my book. But this week, I wanted to talk about something that was on my heart 💖 I find it pretty hard to be open and honest about some things in my life when I’m struggling with others.
I'm here to have a heart to heart with you 🙈 It sounds super simple and even a bit cliche –I promise it's not though!
Before I started, I did a body scan at the gym and then retested halfway and again at the end. This was never about weight for me, I actually wanted to put on some weight, tone up and gain muscle 💪 I ended up putting on a half a kilo, and I gained centimetres around my arms, legs and butt, which I was super happy about 🤩 I lost some centimetres around my waist and I did go down in body fat too 👊
If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a mindset and discipline challenge that goes for 75 days. two 45-minute workouts a day, drink one gallon of water, read 10 pages, stick to a diet, no alcohol / or cheat days, and take a progress picture every single day.
I recently partnered up with Lust Minerals as part of their Self Love Movement. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a huge believer of self-love. That’s because I know that it’s only when you’re looking after yourself, that you can vibrate at a higher frequency and create the life you’re dreaming about.
I think self-love starts with being compassionate and understanding towards ourselves and realising that we can’t always be hustling and achieving. Life works in ebbs and flow, and it’s super important to acknowledge that!
⭐My wish for you is this year you set goals on how you want to feel, not the numbers on a scale or likes on a photo 🙅🏼♀️
⭐My wish for you is that you glow from the inside out because you nourish your body with wholefoods 🍓
⭐My wish for you is that you radiate happiness from the endorphins you release daily from moving your body (because you’re grateful you can) 🤸🏼♂️
Firstly, it’s essential to acknowledge that these feelings are totally normal after the year we’ve all had. Life as we knew it was completely turned on its head 🤯 and we’ve seen changes in just about every aspect of our lifestyles.
A good indicator of your mental health is that you feel appropriate feelings. So don’t be angry at yourself for being overwhelmed, being stressed or feeling worried right now, because the fact that you’re even feeling those emotions means that you actually do have good mental health because those are all natural responses to the usual circumstances you’ve lived through this year.
You probably saw that I was celebrating my birthday recently and if I’ve ever wished you a happy birthday, you’ll know that I always ask people the same question on their birthday, “What was your biggest lesson?” 🤔… And I do the same to myself too.
