+ WOMEN NEED TO EAT MORE +
After a weekend off my phone, being surrounded by the dream team in the fitness industry, I forgot until I logged back on to socials how much utter BS is still out there and how most fitness influencers with very little nutrition education - other than the diet that worked for them or how to use a macro calculator - are still blaming the women for “failing” the diet.

🔈They say you didn’t “count your calories properly”.
🔈They say “the only way to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit”
🔈They say “you can go against thermodynamics”

And then I would argue after studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine that revolved mostly around biology and how the body works holistically…

And after working with women in this industry for 14 years…

That not eating enough, punishing yourself with exercise, eating lowest calories possible, stressing about what to eat / not eat, the stress of being the primary caregiver, the ups and downs of hormonal changes, the hidden sugar in our heavily processed diets, not sleeping enough thanks to babies or hormones…

ALL play a big fu***ng part on why a woman didn’t lose weight doing your restrictive program that set her up for failure.

So if you are a 40 something old woman reading this:
🫶 you don’t need another restrictive diet
🫶 you didn’t fail the diet, the diet most likely failed you
🫶there is more to life than counting calories
🫶 you CAN feel confident, stronger, nourished and empowered while also trying to lose weight

That’s why I made my 12 Week Metabolism Maximiser program to show women that working WITH your body not against it works.

That understanding your biology will give you the secret power to adapt your movement and diet to optimise your metabolism - not slow it down!

Because if depriving your body by eating less and moving more - wouldn’t work by now?! 💁‍♀️

If you want to join my next intake, we kick off Sunday 20th of September 👉 comment “METABOLISM” to jump on the waitlist to have the best chance of grabbing 1 of the 5 spots

01/09/2026

+ WAITLIST OPEN +
You’ve done everything “right.”
Eaten less.
Moved more.
Followed the plan to the letter.
Pushed through.

And still - the weight won’t budge, your energy tanks by 3pm and your clothes feel tighter than they did last year.

If you’ve quietly started to wonder “what is wrong with me?”

Nothing is wrong with you 🩷

You’ve just been following rules that were never written for a woman in her 30s, 40s or 50s. Your body isn’t broken or working against you - it’s protecting itself.

And that changes everything about how we fix it.

That’s exactly why I built Metabolism Maximiser!

A 12-week program for women 35–55 who are done with diets that don’t work and ready to actually work with their body instead of fighting it.

🗓️ Next intake starts September 20th - just 3 weeks away 🙋‍♀️

Only 5 spots, so it’s genuinely personalised to you ✅

Waitlist is open now 👇

If you’re ready to stop starting over, comment “MAXIMISER” below (or send me a DM) and I’ll pop you on the waitlist with all the details.

+ MUMSAFE RETREAT 2026 +
What a weekend filled with so much connection, inspiration & innovation 🤩

This is my 3rd year attending the Safe Pre & Postnatal Exercise for Mums retreat and there’s nothing like it being in a room filled with like-minded women who are their ready to support your business, lift you up and be there as a listening ear.

Big thank you to Pre & Postnatal Educator | Fitness Business Coach for providing us the space, support, education and experts to help us be our best - both this weekend at the retreat and every week in the MumSafe space.

To all the MumSafe trainers - some familiar faces, some new - I miss you all already and thank you for being absolute superstars. The fitness space is a better place because of all these magnificent humans 😍❤️

Now to spend the next day or so reflecting and spending time with my Dad in Hervey Bay before coming back home and putting everything into action 💪

+ WANT A SNATCHED WAIST? +
Listen here first 👇

There are so many gym influencers promoting “do these exercises to get a snatched waist” and it makes me laugh… then it makes me angry!

Because you can’t spot reduce fat so no single exercise is going to “snatch” your waist.

Then they go ahead and promote exercises that if you don’t know how to activate your core properly (which most of them don’t), will end up creating more extra intra-abdominal pressure.

👋 Hello needing to fart when crunching thanks to pelvic floor pressure
👋 Hello feeling back pain when holding a plank
👋 Hello not improving abdominal separation

So before you revolve your whole program around these waist snatching exercises (I recommend you don’t but just in case you are going to try them), the best thing you can do for your core is to activate it properly!

HOW:
👉 1. Let 👏 It 👏 Go 👏 Take a deep diaphragmatic breath in
👉 2. As you exhale, lift your pelvic floor then GENTLY peel your lower belly away from your waistband
👍 Other cues that may work:
- imagine your waist band is on fire and peel your skin away from your pants
- imagine your lower back dimples peeling off the mat towards the front of your pelvis
- imagine during hip bone to hip bone

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
🌟 This is a gentle & subtle movement - we aren’t sucking in!
🌟 Lower belly not belly to spine
🌟 Learning to breathe first will help your core activation feel more effective

+ LET’S GET PHYSICAL +
To round out our FUN WEEK we had the most fun you can have while working up a sweat with an old school 80’s aerobics class! 🤸‍♀️

We unleashed our “inner Jane Fonda”, embraced the high energy of a 6am Oz Aerobics Instructor - even brought out our inner Dallas Cowboy cheerleading abilities to Mickey by Toni Basil 😉

We jumped, curled, grapevined, pendulum swung and danced our way through some classic 80’s anthems while laughing, smiling and huffing and puffing.

Thank you to all these women who got up, got dressed up and kickstarted their weekend with an endorphin hit 🤩

Now the question is… when should our next fun week be 😉

+ FUN WEEK +
Our August monthly challenge has been all about putting the “FUN” into functional fitness and to really ramp up the fun, this week everyday had some extra fun added to it…

Whether it was a:
🤩 Fun warm up such as the Hokey Pokey or core + pelvic floor activations with a whistling device
🤩 A fun finisher that will give you PTSD anytime you hear “Roxanne” by The Police
🤩 Fun games like Bingo Bootcamp or Boxing Shuttle Runs

Or our FUN THEME DAYS like:
🌟 Wear anything but activewear
🌟 Crazy Hair Day
🌟 Bring Anything But A Water Bottle
🌟 Your LOUDEST Tshirt or outfit

Thank you to all my members for joining in! You absolutely brightened my day and I’ve never laughed so much in the studio. It was so much fun and something I definitely want to do more often.

I hope you all had as much fun as I did (except maybe the type of classes I chose weren’t your idea of fun 😝) and enjoyed mixing it up!

Don’t forget - you have one more week to try a type of movement or exercise you used to enjoy back in the day - pre kids or when you were a kid - to bring more fun back into movement 💪

And for those at home, I challenge you to think of how you can move your body this week with a bit more fun 😉

📣Consider this your PSA to LET. YOUR. BELLY. GO.📣

We've been taught to suck our stomachs in for so long that many women don't even realise they're doing it.

Flatten it.
Tighten it.
Pull your belly button in.
Make yourself smaller.

But your belly isn't supposed to be held in all day.

And for your pelvic floor, core, back AND mindset, learning to let it go matters.

We live in a world that criticises women's stomachs for looking like they've had a baby.

We're told to hide the softness, flatten our tummies and suck everything in.

As someone passionate about body acceptance AND pelvic floor health, and as someone who has personally experienced a prolapse, I want every woman to understand:

YOUR BELLY IS ALLOWED TO MOVE.

When you constantly brace, suck in and hold your breath, you're changing how pressure is managed through your body.

That pressure has to go somewhere…

⬇️ DOWN towards your pelvic floor - potentially increasing load and contributing to symptoms like heaviness or leaking in women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.

➡️ OUTWARDS through your abdominal wall - particularly important if you're dealing with abdominal separation.

⬅️ BACKWARDS - potentially contributing to tension and discomfort through your lower back, especially when lifting or exercising.

And there's another important piece:

You can't breathe properly when you're constantly sucking everything in.

Your diaphragm needs room to move. Your ribs need to expand. Your abdomen needs to respond to your breath.

Breathing helps your body manage pressure and supports the coordinated function of your core and pelvic floor.

So if you've been conditioned to hold your stomach in...

This is your permission to LET IT GO.

Let your belly soften.
Let it expand when you breathe.
Let your ribs move.

Stop treating your stomach like something you need to hide.

Because that belly grew your babies, nourishes you, moves with your breath and keeps you alive every single day.

You don't need to make it flat to make it strong.

Strong doesn't mean sucked in.

A strong core can breathe, move, respond to pressure and work with your pelvic floor.

And your body doesn't need to look different before you're allowed to accept it.

Want to learn how to breathe, manage pressure and reconnect with your core + pelvic floor?

+ SELF DEFENCE 101 +
Our next FUN event for our August Monthly Challenge - which is all about putting fun in functional fitness - we attended a women’s self defense class ran by the wonderful Wellbeing Martial Arts team💪

We had fun yelling and trying to run away from one another as well as throwing some punches + elbows but we also learned a valuable life skill on how to defend ourselves.

This was the biggest turn out we have had for a B+BB event and it was amazing to see so many of my members in the same room but it also was alarming and frustrating that we live in a world where we believe self defense is a necessity skill to learn.

As Geoff & Bree said… we hope we never have to use what we learned last night but at least now we have the basic knowledge, skills and techniques to help defend ourselves in dangerous situations.

Thank you to Geoff & Bree for their time, effort and knowledge 👏 We all walked away feeling more confident & more prepared for whatever comes our way and the way you taught us how to create a big impact with simple, basic moves is such a valuable lesson.

If you are local to Sunbury - highly recommend getting a group of your girlfriends and reach out to Wellbeing Martial Arts to run a self defense class because knowing just using your voice & simple hand movements could save your life is something all women need to learn 👊

Second photo is our “back offff” faces 😉
