Day 2 of the Yapping Challenge 😂

There isn’t really a Yapping Challenge per se… however, it feels like a great excuse to chat to you!

This yap was prompted by a quote I shared recently:

“If you’re 40 and can fit into a size 6 dress, but when you’re 65 you have osteoporosis — you haven’t won, you’ve been tricked.”

OOOF.

Whenever I start feeling negative about the difference between my actual body fat percentage and where I’d like it to be, AKA when I can’t get my bloody jeans on comfortably 😩 I have to remind myself just how INCREDIBLE my body is and everything it allows me to do.

Because my idea of what my body “should” look like hasn’t appeared from nowhere.

It’s the result of decades of subconscious programming about what women’s bodies should look like, how much space we should take up and what we should be doing to make ourselves smaller.

And there is still this dance between knowing all of that… and looking in the mirror or trying to do my jeans up and thinking, FFS. 😂

But I REFUSE to be drawn back into that old-fashioned narrative.

Calories in, calories out.
Killing myself with cardio.
Restriction.
Shaming an entire food group.
Or falling foul of the latest marketing or corporate wellness trend that promises us the answer but might not actually be good for us at all.

Instead, I’m going to keep prioritising nutrition, muscle, strength and movement, and keep learning from the evidence we now have specifically around women in midlife.

I don't just want a body that looks a certain way.

I want a body that is strong enough to carry me through the next 5 DECADES of my life. ❤️

And when the jeans are tight, I’ll probably still have to remind myself of that!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this?!

Yap back in the comments 👇😂

Polly Lavarello laid down a challenge to create a yapping reel every day in September.

Apparently, I’m pretty good at recording the videos… but not so much in love with editing them and actually posting them to you. You can make your own conclusions about that!!!! 😂

Anyhoo, here is my first offering from the 1st, and I WILL continue to catch up!

I’d love to know…
🤔Do you recognise yourself in any of these stories?
🤔What do you do to support yourself when you can?
🤔What promises would you like to keep to yourself that you’re not keeping at the moment?
Tell me in the comments below 👇

I’m doing another run-through of Magic Morning starting the week of the 14th in Vitality Rooms.
We’ll meet at 6am on Zoom for 15 mins of Pilates and 15 mins of meditation, and then you can head off into your day with the best foundations a day could have. ❤️

I also have 3 spaces opening up in October for 1:1 wellbeing coaching, so DM me if you’d like more information about either of these.

Keep an eye out for my yapping reels and PLEASE yap back! It’s no fun talking to myself. 😂

And share this with anyone else who needs to hear it.

Big love xx

Episode 129 : What If Your Soul Already Knows? with Kelly Pietrangeli

If you've ever looked at your life and thought...

*"Everything's fine... so why doesn't it feel like it?"*

This episode is for you.

Our guest, the fabulous Kelly Pietrangeli, is the founder of Project Me, a wellbeing coach, retreat host in Ibiza and Soul Plan practitioner. More importantly, she's someone who's walked the path from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to creating a life that feels aligned, purposeful and joyful.

Together, we explore the questions so many midlife women quietly ask themselves...

✨ Why do I feel like I've lost myself?
✨ Why am I constantly comparing myself to everyone else?
✨ How do I find more balance when life feels so full?
✨ How do I know what I actually want anymore?
✨ And where do I even begin?

Kelly shares the simple but powerful tools that helped her reconnect with herself, from her Project Me Life Wheel and journalling to protecting your energy, building healthier habits and learning to trust your own inner wisdom.

We also chat about strength training, protein, creatine, osteoporosis, meditation, breathwork and why looking after your wellbeing doesn't have to mean turning your whole life upside down.

This conversation isn't about becoming someone different.

It's about finding your way back to the person you already are.

✨ Wellbeing Wednesday... with a little extra bliss.

If you're the woman who's always looking after everyone else, always rushing from one thing to the next and can't remember the last time you took a whole morning just for you...
This is for you.

In fact, if you're already thinking...
"I don't deserve that."
"I haven't got time."
"I haven't earned it."..then this is definitely for you. 💚

We'll begin with our usual Wellbeing Wednesday - outdoor Pilates, meditation, fresh air and a wonderful community of women.
Then we'll wander over to The Rural Retreat where you'll have full access to the wood-fired sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, ice bath and relaxation area.
Take your time. Move between the different spaces, relax, chat and connect with the other fabulous ladies, and simply enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.

Then, if you'd like to make a proper morning of it, come and join me at Tribe Café afterwards. I'll be staying for lunch, and I'd love for you to stay too. Whether it's a coffee, an iced matcha or something to eat, it's the perfect way to round off a morning spent looking after yourself.

You'll leave feeling calmer, lighter, stronger and more energised... with that wonderful feeling that comes from giving yourself the time and space you deserve.

The complete morning is £45 (refreshments not included).

💗 If you'd like to join us for Wellbeing Wednesday, simply comment or send me a DM with WELLBEING WEDNESDAY and I'll send you everything you need.

🌿 If you'd like to join us for the Mini Retreat too, comment or DM me MIDWEEK RETREAT and I'll send you the booking link.

Because you don't have to earn a beautiful Wednesday morning...
You are worthy of one. 💚

It's midnight. 😳

My clothes are laid out ready for tomorrow morning... and if you know me, you'll know that going to bed at a sensible time has never been my greatest strength! 😂

But I've decided I'm not waiting until I've mastered early nights before I start a morning routine.

I'm just starting.

I'm hoping the knock-on effect is that I'll be so tired I'll have to go to bed earlier. And that by starting my day on my terms, I'll feel so much more fulfilled by the end of it that I won't need those extra one or two hours I usually spend... not actually going to bed! 🤦‍♀️

Years ago I did The Miracle Morning, and some of the best things in my life today were born during that time. I know the power of beginning the day intentionally.

So yes... I'm probably going to be tired for a while. But I'm genuinely excited.

And I'm taking my Vitality Rooms members along for the ride.

Every weekday morning for the next two weeks, I'll be opening Zoom at 6:00am for 15 minutes of Pilates followed by 15 minutes of meditation. It's not a formal class (like Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday!) it's simply me moving through my own practice, with my microphone on, so you can join in too.

Can't make it live? Every session will be recorded and added to the membership portal.

This week alone, Vitality Rooms members have 11 live classes to choose from! 🤯

If you'd like to start your day feeling calmer, stronger, more grounded and more in control, it's all waiting for you inside Vitality Rooms.

You could literally sign up now... and be on Zoom with us in less than 6 hours! 😂

Episode 130: Building a Life You Don't Want to Escape From with Sober Coach Anna Sudbury.

Hands up if you've ever said...

🍷 "I've earned this."

🍷 "It's been one of those days."

🍷 "Just one..." (this is how I met my husband!!!)

Most of us have.

But what if that glass of wine is taking away more than it's giving you?

For many of us, alcohol isn't really about the drink.

It's about taking the edge off.
Switching off.
Escaping the mental load for a little while.
Finding a moment of peace in the chaos.

But what if you could build a life you didn't need to escape from?

In this week's episode of Far 2 Fabulous, sober coach Anna Sudbury shares why giving up alcohol became the bravest thing she's ever done.

Not because she had a drinking problem.

But because she realised she wanted more.

More clear-headed mornings, less anxiety, better sleep, more energy, more presence, and more joy.

This isn't an episode about judgement, labels or telling anyone what they should do.

It's simply an invitation to get curious.

💭 Is alcohol giving you what you think it is?

🍿 Grab the popcorn... this one's a feature-length reel! 😂

Also, this video proves two things...

1️⃣ I really love my sister. Clare Robertson❤️

2️⃣ I really, really don't love gardening. 🌱🤣

But while we were wrestling with fence panels, shifting buckets, pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying, it really demonstrated why I exercise the way I do.

In Vitality Rooms, we don't train just for the sake of exercising.

We train for real life.

Every squat makes lifting easier.
Every push-up builds practical strength.
Every farmer carry prepares you for carrying... well... everything!
And every Pilates class helps keep your body moving well.

**Just know, you are building your future body right now. **The choices you make today (and doing nothing is a choice too), whether you move, build strength, improve your balance and look after your mobility, etc., will shape the body you're living in 10, 20 and even 30 years from now.

That's not meant to feel overwhelming.

I think it's incredibly empowering.

It means you're not simply hoping for a healthier future... you're creating one.

Every class is designed around the best evidence we have for building a strong, capable midlife body. We don't just hammer the cardio or lift weights. We combine it all along with the flexibility and brilliance of Pilates.

My goal is to help you build a body that can carry you through life with strength, confidence and independence. A body that's ready for adventures, for children & grandchildren, for gardening (if you enjoy that sort of thing 😆), for travel, for carrying the shopping, for sitting on the picnic blanket with ease, and for saying "yes" to the life you want to live.

Your future self is being built by the choices you make today.

So why not build a body she'll thank you for?

If this sounds like your kind of fitness, we'd love to welcome you into Vitality Rooms. 💚
