Yesterday was such a good reminder of why I hate the phrase “we all have the same 24 hours.”

I had plans. Clean the house, organise my clothes, get everything done, then go to the lake and enjoy probably one of the last sunny days in Zurich.

Instead, my pelvic pain suddenly became so intense that I had to stop everything, put my legs up the wall and wait for my body to calm down.

And no, this isn't a pity post. ♡

If anything, I think living with unpredictable symptoms has made me a better coach.

Because I will absolutely encourage you to train, move, challenge yourself and keep showing up for yourself. I don't believe we should stop living because our bodies make things harder.

But I also understand that sometimes your best-laid plans genuinely have to change.

We all have 24 hours.

But some people are raising children. Some are doing it alone. Some are caring for someone else. Some are dealing with chronic illness, pain, fatigue or bodies that simply aren't predictable.

So I don't want to be the coach who tells you that if you “wanted it badly enough” you'd always find a way.

I want to be the coach who helps you find the middle way and I'm pretty good at it! ♡

Girlies, strength training does NOT automatically make you bulky. 😭

Strength training gives your body the stimulus to build muscle.

But actually building a noticeable amount of muscle takes time, progressive overload, enough protein and enough FOOD to support it.

And no, you don’t necessarily need to be in a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Beginners, people coming back after a break, or people who have lost muscle can often build muscle while maintaining their weight or even losing some fat.

But becoming VERY muscular by accident?

That is really not how it works. 😂

Muscle is hard-earned.

You’re not going to pick up a dumbbell and wake up as Hulk.

So please… lift the weights. ♡

Meanwhile, I lost weight, my upper-body muscles apparently packed their bags and left, and today I’ll be training extra hard because I want them BACK. 😂

Today I went to the doctor, and one thing he said stayed with me:

"We are all going to die one day. Some people simply go through life with more pain than others."

It sounds harsh, but it made me think.

He mentioned that some of the things I deal with are chronic. I can manage them, work on them and hopefully improve a lot, but I also have to accept that they may always be part of my life in some way.

So now I’m trying to figure out something else:

How do you live with chronic illness without letting it become your identity?

And especially, how do you navigate it with the people closest to you?

I don’t want to hide how I feel or say I’m fine when I’m not.

But I also don’t want every conversation to be about my symptoms.

I don’t want chronic illness to take up more space in my relationships than it needs to.

Some days I feel amazing. Some days I don’t. Both are true.

I’m still the same person in both.

So I’m genuinely curious how other people with chronic illness find that balance.

How much do you share, and how much do you simply carry quietly? ♡

I somehow always feel like I never have my whole life under control.

There are 3 things: my business, my home and myself.

And I swear I can manage one really well. Sometimes even two. But all three at the same time? Never 😂

Right now, my business is BOOMING. I'm so incredibly grateful and excited about everything that's happening. And somehow, I have it under control.

But then... look at me... My house is a mess. I oiled my hair with every intention of washing it and then apparently decided that was a problem for another day.

Sometimes the house and business are doing great, but I'm a mess. Sometimes I'm taking care of myself and my home, but work feels overwhelming.

And sometimes I genuinely wonder... is this just adulthood? Are we all secretly rotating which part of our lives has its s**t together?

And this actually connects to one of my biggest fears that I don't talk about very often.

I really want to be a mom one day.

But I'm also terrified of it.

Because I already find it so hard to keep everything going while being self-employed and running my business completely on my own. And then I think about adding a whole tiny human who needs me every single day and I'm like...

HOW DO MOMS DO THIS?! 😭

Do you ever actually feel like you have everything under control? Or are we all just choosing which fire to put out first?

I genuinely want to hear from you. How do you do it? Are you okay?! ♡

Please share your thoughts because I really want to know if I'm alone in feeling like this.

I’m entering a new chapter of my business, and apparently that also means learning something I’ve always been terrible at: boundaries 😅

I never want to stop being the understanding, flexible and empathetic coach that I am.

But I’m learning that protecting my health, my breaks and my time doesn’t make me any less of those things.

Actually, it might be exactly what allows me to keep doing this for many more years. ♡

New studio. Same me. Just with slightly better boundaries. 😅 ♡

This is how your emails found me for the last two weeks 🌊☀️🌺

Back home in the Azores, taking some much needed time off. ♡

But now it’s time to come back to reality :)

I’m back tomorrow and officially back to work + answering everyone from the 25th onwards.

See you soooon ♡

I had 4 liters of Lipedema removed from my upper thighs.

The pain is gone, and I couldn't be happier.

And then one girl asked me if I'd get surgery on my arms as well. I said no because I have no pain, but somehow, I notice the lipedema in my arms more than I ever did before.

That realization stopped me for a second.

Because THIS is how easily the finish line can move.

For years it was my legs.

Now my brain has more space to look somewhere else.

And I’m a fitness coach. I know this. I talk about body image. I work with women on their goals every day. I know that changing your body isn’t magically going to change the way you speak to yourself.

And yet, I’m still human enough to catch myself doing it too.

Maybe that’s why I feel so strongly about how I coach women.

I will never tell you that aesthetic goals are wrong. Wanting to lose fat, build muscle or change your body doesn’t make you shallow.

But I also don’t want us to spend our lives scanning our bodies for the next thing that needs “fixing.”

Because there will always be something else if we let there be.

So we can have goals.

We can work towards change.

But we can also learn to love the woman who exists between every before and after.

I’m learning that right alongside you. ♡

I didn’t have lipedema surgery to get “perfect” legs.

I had it because pain was slowly taking things away from me.

Walking. Stairs. Trails. Even parts of my job as a fitness coach were becoming harder.

And because my lipedema wasn’t always obvious visually, I questioned myself too. Was the pain really that bad? Was I exaggerating it?

Four months after surgery, I did my first trail pain-free. Something I hadn’t experienced in years.

I keep telling my boyfriend, “The world is not ready for a pain-free Sara.” 😂

But genuinely, I still can’t believe this is my life now. I had lived with that pain for so long that I got used to it. I normalised it. I forgot what it felt like to move without constantly thinking about my legs.

And now it’s just… gone.

My legs still have loose skin. They look completely different depending on the angle and the light. And I’m okay with that.

Because the biggest change isn’t how they look.

It’s how they feel.

And if sharing my story makes even one woman with early-stage lipedema trust her own pain a little more, I’ll keep sharing. ♡

Forever thankful to Dr. Acosta from

Meet LEVE. ♡

Pronounced "LEH-v" (in my Micaelense accent from São Miguel, Azores), LEVE means light, gentle and with ease in Portuguese.

This is probably the most selfish class I've ever created.

Strength training changed my life, and I'll never stop lifting weights.

But I missed the mat. I missed moving with music and flowing through choreographies.

So I kept trying different classes... but something never felt quite right.

As someone with hypermobility, I didn't need more flexibility. My body was asking for more control, more awareness and movement that felt supportive.

At the same time, as the busy bee that I am, I started doing my daily self-lymphatic massage for my lipedema on the mat before training. Then I added breathing. Then mobility. Then Pilates. Then barre.

Last week I realised...

"Holy s**t... I think I accidentally created something super cool."

Not because it'll work for everyone.

Not because I think it's revolutionary.

But because, for the first time in years, I genuinely looked forward to getting on the mat again.

One thing I want to make very clear: this isn't a replacement for strength training. If you can only choose one type of exercise, I'll always tell you to strength train. It's the foundation that changed my life.

But if, like me, you love spending time on the mat too... and you have room for both... I'd love for you to join me.

LEVE isn't therapy. It isn't a treatment. It doesn't promise to fix your pain or transform your body.

It's simply the class I created for MYSELF.

And if that resonates with you, maybe you'll love it too.
