“You’re so confident and always laughing.”
That’s what the lovely photographer said to me today on our content shoot.
And yep, she’s right.
But also… that’s not always been, and isn’t always, the case for me.
I was the shy kid, the awkward teen, and I’ve been rejected far more times than I can count.
By bullies, boys, jobs, my family and, probably most of all, by MYSELF.
So I made a decision.
No more.
No more being the person who holds me back.
No more waiting until I feel good enough, thin enough, clever enough or confident enough to do the things I want to do.
I started raising my standards for myself.
For how I treated myself, what I accepted, what I believed I was capable of and what I wanted my life to look like.
And that decision has opened up so many opportunities for me and given me so much to feel good about.
How can I not be confident when I’ve changed my life by changing how I think about myself?
And that’s what I help women do now.
You don’t need to diet and shrink your way to confidence.
You need to start taking care of yourself.
Asking for the things you need. Saying no when you want to say no. Doing the thing you so desperately want to do but feel scared of.
Having more fun. More adventure. More confidence. More LIFE.
I’m not confident all the time.
I have doubts. I have days when I cry. Days when I question myself.
But I have a s**t tonne of mental toughness, a lot of ambition and a lot of things I still want to do with my life.
And I’m not prepared to be the person who stops me doing them.
I’m looking for women on the same mission.
Women who are done settling, done putting themselves last and done waiting for some magical moment when they finally feel good enough.
Women who want to lose weight, feel incredible in themselves and actually enjoy their lives along the way.
Because you get one life. And I think you should expect a hell of a lot from it.
That’s why I’ve created HIGHER STANDARD.
My new coaching programme for women who are ready to change how they think, how they treat themselves and what they believe is possible for their lives.
Not just lose weight.
Not just feel more confident.
But become the woman who no longer keeps putting herself at the bottom of the list.
If this sounds like the woman you’re ready to become, message me HIGHER.
I’d love to have you with me.
