An honest update 🤍

This isn’t an easy post to write, but it’s an important one and will be last for the next wee while.

After a lot of reflection — and following advice from my GP and counsellor — I’ve made the decision not to compete in HYROX. My mental health is a real concern right now, and alongside that my physical symptoms have taken a significant dip. Pushing through this wouldn’t be brave for me — it would be harmful.

I want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who believed in me, supported me, and donated. That support has meant more than I can put into words. I haven’t taken that lightly for a second.

This isn’t me giving up — it’s me choosing recovery. I will do something in the future to honour those donations and the cause, when I’m in a place where I can do it safely and wholeheartedly.

Right now, the hardest and bravest thing I can do is listen to my body and mind.

Thank you for your kindness, your understanding, and for standing by me 🤍

Quick upper conditioning set this morning followed by 500m ski and row, focusing on little bits when my mind is clear and ready for it.

I am doing HYROX Glasgow in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support

Massive thanks to those who have sponsored me so far, you are literally getting me to the start line!!

With HYROX just over 4 weeks away, I’m going to be real — I do not feel ready 😔

Not physically, not mentally, not emotionally.

Training feels hard right now. My body is tired, my head is loud, and some days just getting through feels like enough. That leaves me feeling really vulnerable, especially knowing people are watching, supporting, sponsoring.

But here’s the thing — I’m still showing up.
Not perfectly. Not confidently. Just honestly.

This isn’t about smashing times or proving anything.
It’s about turning up on days I don’t feel strong and doing what I can, that is enough!

If nothing else, this journey is teaching me that vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s real life.
And today, getting myself to the gym is the win.

One step. One session. One honest day at a time 🤍

4 years sober today 🤍

Sobriety has given me so much — clarity, self-respect, and a life I’m present for.

The end of this year hasn’t been easy and has been tough in ways I never expected or could’ve ever imagined.

But being alcohol-free means I faced it sober — and that matters more than I ever realised.

Grateful for how far I’ve come, even when the road looks different than planned.
One day at a time 🤍

2026!

Another little ramble from my very stable self 😜

Starting the year by continuing to be honest and open — with myself and with others.
I’m healing, and I have nothing to hide.

Onwards 🤍

Merry Christmas to you all! 🎄

I hope you’ve had a wonderful few days — whether spent with family and friends or enjoying some quiet time alone. I really hope you smiled a little.

I did. I smiled a lot. I laughed a lot.

This morning my big cousin dragged me out for a run. I really didn’t want to go — I was a baw hair away from staying in bed 😅

But the thing is… I think the world of this man. He’s my soundboard, my cousin, my brother, and the one person who truly knows me inside out and I love nothing more than spending time with him.

So we went. We talked. And somehow ran 7k.

My legs are dead, but my heart feels very much alive, happy, and full.

Catch you all soon for some class updates — and we’ll also chat a little about counselling and how that’s going 🤍

Hi from me 👋

Just wanted to check in, say hello, and show my face – it’s been a while!

There’s been a lot of change recently so… buckle up buttercups.

Back in Sep/Oct I started noticing that I wasn’t 100%, and I ended up having a mental health breakdown. 😔

It has been (and still is) the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with.

I’ve felt sad, confused, worried, disappointed, happy, anxious… the whole emotional bingo card.

I’ve stepped away from work completely and, for the next while, my focus is going to be recovery – therapy, medication changes, lifestyle shifts, and giving myself permission to slow down.

I’m sharing this because I know how isolating mental health stuff can be, and if my journey helps someone else feel less alone then that’s worth it.

I’ll pop in now and again with little updates or video snippets about recovery and what I’m learning along the way 🤍

Thanks for sticking around. 😘
