Can confirm…
Max is right.
It is indeed slippery in the wet.

This morning I was meant to run an easy 6.5km.

I woke up with a sore left calf, a sore right hip, it was lashing rain, day 3 of my cycle, I was tired and generally just achy.

But I knew this wasn’t an injury. I knew I was just sore.

And I also knew that if I got today’s run done, I had two rest days ahead.

So I put on my runners, put on my big girl pants, got on the treadmill and got it done.

Was it slower than my easy pace? Yep.

Did I enjoy it? Not particularly.

But I got it done.

I always say be kind to yourself, and I stand by that.

But being kind to yourself doesn’t always mean letting yourself off the hook.

Sometimes being kind to your future self means doing the thing you can’t be arsed doing right now.

The hardest part isn’t the run.

It’s being honest with yourself about whether your body needs rest… or your mind is looking for an escape.

Today was a stop-listening-to-your-own-bullsh*t day. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

(Before anyone comes for me… this doesn’t apply to injury, illness or genuine exhaustion)

With the 10k, Half Marathon & Marathon on this weekend, here are 3 simple ways to calm pre-race nerves at the start line:

First thing to remember:
If nerves are showing up… that’s a good sign. It means you care. Your body is getting you ready.

Now here’s how to work with them:

1. Close your mouth & breathe through your nose
Keep it simple. In through the nose, out through the nose.

2. Breathe using your diaphragm
Think: Ribs expanding out to the sides on the inhale & moving inwards on the exhale.

3. Quieten your breath
Don’t try to force slow breathing - just make it quieter.

You don’t need to ā€œget ridā€ of nerves.
You just need to stop them running the show.

Best of luck to everyone!

See you at the start line. šŸƒšŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

A reminder that not all gifts come in boxes.

Some come as an experience, a memory, and a chance to pause for a while.

It’s such a privilege to be asked to hold moments like these.

If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for someone you care about, a breathwork session might be exactly what they need.

A special opportunity for parents/guardians and children to slow down, connect, and learn valuable skills together.

During this workshop, you’ll explore functional breathing and mindfulness techniques designed to help both children and adults feel calmer, more focused, and better equipped to navigate everyday challenges.

The tools you learn can be taken home and practised together, creating meaningful moments of connection while supporting emotional wellbeing, resilience, and self-regulation.

Suitable for children aged 7–13 years

To the people posting their workouts online—especially the moms—please keep doing it!!!!

I’ve had lots of messages from women telling me that I’ve inspired them to work out. But do you know where I get my motivation and inspiration when I really don’t want to train, when I’m tired, busy, and could come up with 100 excuses not to?

From watching other people show up.

From seeing other moms squeeze in a workout between school runs, work, housework, and everything else life throws at them.

Your post might feel ordinary to you, but it could be exactly what someone else needs to see that day.

So keep posting.
Keep showing up.
Keep sharing.

Inspiration is contagious. Keep posting your workout, you might be motivating more people than you realise.

I also hope she always knows she’s beautiful exactly as she is, and never feels the need to change herself to keep up with a trend

Most people are walking around tired, anxious, and unfocused, without realising their breathing could be part of the problem.

Mouth breathing is so normal now that most people don’t question it……

But your body does.
It keeps your system slightly stressed… all day long.
Faster breathing. Less calm. More tension.

Then we wonder why we feel the way we feel.

✨Try this ✨
Close your mouth.
Breathe through your nose.
See if you can slow it down a little.

Because sometimes it’s not your life that’s overwhelming you, it’s your breath.

The good news? Breathing can be retrained.

That’s exactly what I help people do through functional breathing coaching.

✨ Ice bowl facial dip
✨ Journaling intentions
✨ 40 minutes yoga
✨ 20 minutes meditation
✨ Matcha with homemade almond milk
✨ Protein pancakes with edible flowers
✨ Dry brushing
✨ Pilates

Meanwhile my morning routine is:
🫠 Surviving
🫠 ā€œPUT YOUR SHOES ONā€ x147
🫠 Making breakfasts nobody wants anymore
🫠 Packing lunches
🫠 Looking for the thing I specifically said to leave in the same place
🫠 Finding one shoe, no child attached to it

Seriously though… don’t feel pressured to copy someone else’s perfect morning routine when your life looks completely different.

I set my alarm 10 minutes early so I can do a little breathwork before I get out of bed. Some mornings I hit snooze — and that’s okay too, my sleep is precious 🄰

Your routine should support YOUR life — not stress you out trying to recreate someone else’s!!!
