Empowering Women To Ditch Diet Culture, Build Confidence and Create Strong, Nourished Bodies �

03/06/2026

Femininity isn’t a body type, it doesn’t have a specific look 👀

You can have strong legs, broad shoulders, visible muscle, or a little bit of extra body fat and still be feminine.

You don’t have to make yourself smaller to be a woman. Building muscle has helped me appreciate my body so much more than when I was focused on making it smaller.

Be strong. Take up space. Build the muscle.

You’re not losing your femininity by picking up the heavier weights or eating that extra food, you’re defining it for yourself. 🤎

A little bit obsessed with chocolate brown at the moment 🤎

That’s all. That’s the caption 🙃

I’m a coach now, but there are some bikini prep myths need to die because my first prep? I believed all of them 😭

I thought the more I suffered, the better athlete I was and the nicer my coach would be. If I was exhausted, starving, miserable and my whole life revolved around prep… I must’ve been doing it right and I wouldn’t get told off.

I did an ungodly amount of cardio, lived off fish, asparagus and chicken 🤢 and thought being miserable meant I was disciplined and being a good client.

I also thought if I just followed what my coach said blindly, everything would be okay and that I’d succeed 😅 but then I didn’t even make it to stage…

Then this prep happened. Thank you for teaching me prep doesn’t mean suffering 🙏🏻😌

I ate Biscoff and ice cream, I enjoyed my food, I didn’t do endless cardio, I trained hard without dying and a crazy thing happened… I actually enjoyed prep 😌 Yes, there was sacrifice and yes, I did weigh my lettuce (much to the concern and amusement of my friends) and I did eat meal prep at social events 😂 but overall, it wasn’t a dangerous or hellish prep like many athletes experience 🥺 (I’m also not saying everyone could and should do this, it is extreme and not for everyone)

That’s when I realised there’s a difference between discipline and suffering.

You don’t get extra points for eating the blandest meals, doing the most cardio or for making yourself miserable.

This prep taught me something I wish I knew years ago:

Fat loss doesn’t have to mean boring food 🥘
Progress doesn’t have to mean punishment 🫡

You can enjoy your food, have flexibility, include things like Biscoff and ice cream, and still get incredible results.

Because adherence comes from something you can sustain, not something you’re trying to survive ☠️

If I could tell first prep me one thing:

You don’t need to suffer more to get the results, you just have to nail the basics over and over again 😌

No words 🥹 I’m still super stoked with how show day went 😌

Reverse diet is being slayed (no without its ups and downs though) and we are on our way back to looking and feeling more normal… the tan is doing its best to stick around though 😂

Reverse diet update 🔥
We are 1 week post comp already, and it feels like it flew!

So far it’s been good!

My first meal post show meal was burger with sweet potato fries from Grill’d, a cookie (best cookie ever) some Biscoff Brookie from .au and a hot and crispy boneless from kfc 🤤

Cals are up to 1750 cals and staying relatively steady with some days being slightly higher as I’m human and the food noise has been loud and hunger high, which was expected although I didn’t expect it to be quite as loud as it is. I also had dinner out with my mum and Aidan for her birthday 🎈

My weight is averaging around 1kg up from show day with most of that being water and glycogen and we bought steps down from 15500 to 12000 with only 20 mins of incline walking at 2% incline 4 days a week instead of Stairs.

We also backed training load off to help wash off some of the fatigue from prep.

So far I’m feeling good, energized and well fed, however the food noise has definitely been interesting to deal with but I am giving myself grace and recognising this is normal post show😌

Now to nail another week, this weeks focus is staying the course and quieting some of the noise 🙂‍↕️💪🏻

Obligatory front pose photo 😌🥉

Could not be happier with the package we brought to stage, especially considering this was my first comp but second prep… and wow, what a different experience compared to the first 😮‍💨

After randomly springing it on on January 1st that I wanted to compete in Season A with only 17 weeks to prep, I’m honestly so stoked with the physique we were able to achieve in that time.

Now onto nailing the reverse diet, rebuilding, and fully committing to a growth season 🫡

Now that I’m settling back into normalcy post show, I thought I’d make a lil appreciation post for all the humans that supported me in some way shape or form over the last 17 weeks 🥰

you are my rock and the love of my life, so many meals prepped, so much space held when everything felt overwhelming and emotional, so much patience and kindness during the days I felt emotionally fragile and unregulated. It takes a very special and rare kind of person to help a competitor through a prep and I am so incredibly grateful to you for being there and being the calm in the storm every step of the damn way ❤️🥹

Now I surprised a lot of my friends early January with the news that I decided to compete and it perplexed many of them and yet despite that, they still showed up in so many little and big ways during my prep, from hype up pep talks, early morning walks and yaps, to inviting me out for social events to include me even when I would bring meal prep. The people I’ve surrounded myself with honestly played a bigger part in my prep than I think they truly realise and I am so incredibly grateful to each and every one of them. I can’t realistically tag everyone but prep really highlighted how special the humans in my life really are 🥰

I don’t have many photos of everyone from prep or show day so I’ve included some of the ones I do have, but honestly thank you to all of my friends who supported me to help me make this happen… even if it didn’t make sense or was somewhat concerning for a small period of time 😅

Last but defs not least, you are a legend of a coach, I am very grateful to be coached by you. The level of support and guidance you provided both during prep and on show day was elite, I’ve already written you a testimonial 😋 so all I’m gonna say is thankyou for getting me to stage safely and as healthily as possible with stellar transparency and communication 🤝

So yeah, safe to say, the humans around me are pretty damn great and I’m so thankful for my support system😌

A moment for the makeup 🫶😍

You know it’s good when the makeup makeups in every lighting 🤩
artistry is phenomenal and safe to say she nailed the brief 🥹 I have never felt more like a fairy then I did with this makeup and I’m living for it 🥰

You’d need to eat roughly 7700 calories on top of your maintenance to gain just 1kg of body fat…

Which means your Easter chocolate haul?
It’s not doing what you think it is 😌🍫

You’ll feel sick wayyyy before you gain actual body fat from a couple of days of enjoying yourself.

One weekend doesn’t undo your progress… but restricting, overthinking, and then spiralling after it will.

Enjoy the chocolate. Move your body and get back to your routine.

That’s how results are actually built.

If you want to learn how to include foods like this without guilt or setbacks and still see real progress, I’ve got you 🤍
