Menopause is your second spring 🌱

I loved listening to this on ‘s Hot Water podcast with

It highlighted how this season of life is far from a decline, but instead a renewal.

For so many women there are serious reasons to think this could all be doom and gloom, but I also think there’s great power in realising the woman you are becoming.

Just like in the animal kingdom the matriarch is often the leader, the wisest of the bunch and the one whose experience is valued, and it’s exactly that experience that makes her essential to her group.

To tie this all back to fitness, although we are at greater risk of things like osteoporosis (bone density loss) we’ve also never lived in a time where we’ve had better tools, like strength training, to support our bodies throughout it.

And I firsthand see not only the physical benefits this has but the mental ones too.

Women reclaiming this season of renewal, not decline. Of empowerment and being their own leader, not at the mercy of everyone else.

So, here’s to stepping into that second spring. Not over, not out.

How do you find meaning in your fitness?

And what does it even matter?

This week’s episode was what started at a thought, turned into a journalling session, turned into what I think might be the most in depth episode yet.

Finding meaning in your fitness might sound woo-woo, but it’s far from it.

Without meaning, what’s it all for?

Why show up when you could just check out?

Find your meaning, find your value in this thing, and it becomes so much more than physical expression, but more so the essence of who you are.

I used to think that health could be bought, but now I know the best things for your health and wellbeing, are often free.

I used to always be on the lookout for the next thing I could spend my money on, with little regard for what else I needed to focus on closer to home first.

I’m not naive enough to acknowledge that all of these come with privilege too. From time to exercise, or money to buy food.

But the point being, we often jump to spend our money on the next gadget or shiny object, without truly having our world class basics in place.

Meaningful relationships.
Time spent outside.
Nourishing and joyful food.
Moving with intent.

No amount of things I added over the years without these in place, gave me anything extra for my health and fitness.

Now I focus on those world class basics, over and over again. That’s what deserves the biggest investment I can give it. That’s what moves the needle the most.

I used to get frustrated that I wasn’t making progress fast enough, that was until I realised half the battle was in my mind and the stories I was telling myself 🧠

I finally started making progress in my fitness when I stopped worrying about timelines and got to work trying my best, showing up consistently and trusting the journey.

The bad news? It takes time.
The good news? Time passes anyway.

I’m a 35 year old coach and I find this embarrassing to admit…

1. I don’t always have the perfect balance in my fitness. I often have to stop myself from pushing too hard at the consequence of my health. My default setting is 5th gear and I’m constantly pacing myself to know when to push on and pull back.

2. As the youngest, I always felt like my siblings were smarter than me, and I was just the sporty one. I convinced myself I wasn’t academic, even though I got good grades. I’ve battled with that thought in every fitness course or qualification I’ve done since.

3. I move through life fast and I have to tell myself to slow down. Often when I have an idea - it feels like it “should” have happened yesterday and get frustrated when I can’t do all the things at once.

4. I’m a dreamer and romanticise things looking a certain way. When they don’t pan out the way I imagined I get disappointed, even if I didn’t communicate any of it with anyone.

5. I struggle with feeling like things are good enough. I have high expectations of myself and sometimes it feels exhausting like there’s always more I could do.

6. I find it hard making a decision. I’ll send myself in a spiral trying to find the “right” answer and let it consume way too many thoughts for far too long.

7. I cringe looking back at things I did when I first started coaching even though I tell my clients all the time “everyone starts somewhere.”

8. I have never been a greater coach than I am right now, and yet I still look at people with more skin in the game and wonder if I’ll ever be at their level.

None of us have it sussed out. We’re just imperfect humans navigating imperfect lives and I guess that’s what makes us so unique.

But here’s to doing our best at growing, learning and saying yes to LIVIN’ ♾️ follow along if that sounds a bit of you too ❤️ .coach
