No one really talks about how much you can lose yourself after becoming a mum.

Not just physically — but mentally and emotionally too.

I didn’t recognise myself anymore.
I didn’t know how to dress.
I wasn’t moving my body in the way I used to.

And as someone who works in the fitness industry…
I felt like a fraud.

How could I help other women feel strong and confident when I didn’t feel that way myself?

But the truth is — this is something so many mums go through.

Your whole world shifts.
Your priorities change.
And somewhere along the way… you get lost in it all.

This year, I’m not trying to get back to the “old me.”

I’m rebuilding.

Learning who I am now.
Finding strength again — physically and mentally.
Letting go of guilt.
And creating a version of me that actually fits this season of life.

A version that feels strong, calm, and confident again.

If you’ve been feeling a bit lost in motherhood, I want you to know — you’re not alone in this 🤍

Have you ever felt like you lost a part of yourself after becoming a mum?
I’d love to know — what’s felt hardest for you?

We are now midway through week 3 and I am slowly stating to feel a bit more like myself again. I haven’t self-coached in a looong time.

I have treated myself as a client and set myself weekly goals that are achievable for me to help set myself up for success, not failure 👍 it would have been too easy for me to think about what I used to do and aim for the same, but the fact is I don’t have the same flexibility I used to have with my goals trying to fit everything in around all life throws at you just isn’t possible for me right now. I am also 6-weeks post surgery and still having a few niggles here and there so having to take training nice and easy.

Here’s what I’ve been doing, I have set myself ranged goals rather than a set target, this allows me to flexible and listen to my body but still moving forward towards reaching my goals.

Here’s the run down:
👣 8-10k steps daily
🏃🏻‍♀️30-40 mins cardio per week
💪 1-2 training sessions
🍽️ 1750-1900 calories per day
🍗 140-160g protein per day
💦 2-3 litres water a day
😴 7-9 hours sleep per night

I have also had a couple of untracked days around social events, but even with that everything has been moving along nicely and I’m happy with how things are progressing.

If you’re tired of starting over and want support building consistency in a realistic, guilt-free way, this is exactly what I help mums with 🤍

Well it’s been a hot minute (well almost a year) 🤯

Truth be told, I have struggled prioritising my own health and fitness goals since becoming a mum. I know exactly what I want to achieve and how to do it, but I have struggled with mum guilt and maintaining some form of consistent effort towards reaching those goals.

When my son was first born I was breastfeeding, so that really wasn’t the time to start dieting (not if I wanted to maintain my supply) 🥛 I was doing some home workouts with the odd gym session here and there but it was a bit sporadic. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with my son and felt guilty if I left him.

Before I knew it, maternity leave was over and it was back to work and trying to juggle work, childcare, maintaining our home and fitting in some form of exercise for myself.

We’re now over 2 years into this whirlwind of a journey that is parenthood and I have made it my mission to prioritise myself again so I can feel a bit more like myself. I have set the goal of being consistent for 12 weeks, nothing crazy, not perfection, but consistent.

I am now tracking my food for a while (as I definitely wasn’t getting enough protein in my diet), I have set my calories in a moderate deficit, aiming for an average loss of 0.4-0.8kg a week. Activity wise, I have set goals that I am reviewing weekly for training sessions, steps and cardio. I am a week in now and things are moving along nicely! 😎

I’m committing to 12 weeks of showing up for myself — imperfectly but consistently.

If you’re a mum who wants to prioritise your health again too, comment “ME” or send me a message. We’re not doing this alone 🤍
