The last couple of years haven’t been easy, if I’m honest.
Behind the classes, the smiles and showing up every week… there was a time I really wasn’t okay. I felt low, stressed, isolated, and I’d lost people I trusted which knocked me more than I realised.
Like a lot of people, I coped in ways that weren’t actually helping. I was drinking more, not looking after myself, telling myself it was “fine”… but really it was just masking things, draining my energy and making me feel worse.
Then I hit a point where I thought — enough is enough.
No one else was going to fix it for me. So I had to take responsibility and start again.
I cut back on alcohol (sometimes completely), focused on my nutrition, got consistent with training and slowly started to rebuild myself.
A year on, I’m 2.5 stone down, feeling stronger, clearer, and more like me again. I don’t miss the hangovers or the anxiety — not one bit.
But here’s the truth…You might see me showing up, coaching, smiling — but there was a lot going on behind the scenes. Tough days, tears, moments I wanted to quit… but I didn’t.
Because just because someone looks strong, doesn’t mean they always feel it.
I’m not perfect, and I never will be. But I’m in a much better place — and I’ve learned that sometimes you have to choose yourself, set boundaries, and let go of what doesn’t make you happy.
If you’re feeling stuck right now — you’re not alone. And you’re not as far away from turning things around as you think.
Sometimes you have to break a little… to rebuild stronger ❤️
