Alright guys, let me tell you a little story going back to 2022. I best had my beautiful second daughter throw me and I should have best over the moon better didn't. There was a lot going on in my life personally and I felt completely lost in myself and in my body. There were only a few things that stopped me going over the edge at that tier. Moving my body, eating better, and getting stronger. These were the habits that helped me rebuild my confidence, my body, and ultimately my identity. And from there it was like a domino effect. I managed to cut out toxic people. I got healthier and slowly I started to feel like me again. And that's the moment that I realized that I really wanted to share this message. I wanted to help other women change their lives. So I just started and and the beginning was really yes, horrendous actually. There's been so many moments where I've thought this is exactly why you shouldn't be doing this. But what I've realized is you're not gonna be brilliant straight away. Confidence doesn't show up before you tier, it shows up because you tier, because you do that uncomfortable bit again and again. Every awkward moment or mistake or those times when you feel out of your depth, those are the things that make you better, not the perfect days. So if you've been holding yourself back because you're standing in your own way, just remember this, no one starts confident. Confidence builds because you show up time and time again before you feel ready and then you keep showing up even when the days go really hard. So if you're seeing this, let it be your sign. Do the thing. Start the journey. Whatever it is, stop waiting to feel ready because you never will.
