Be you, unapologetically

The woman you want to become is being built right now, in the small, consistent steps you take today.

I don’t know about you but I always have a goal - which I love. There is something so exciting striving for more and enjoying the journey you take.

We tried for a baby for six years. If you have been through your own fertility journey you’ll know how all consuming that is. IVF, loss, the physical, mental and emotional impact of it all is insane.

We are so lucky to have Cordelia. Now I strive for more, for myself and my family. She brings so much joy and happiness but I am still me with dreams and ambition. I follow those dreams for Cordelia and for myself.

I thrive on taking action, albeit often after a lot of procrastination. Learning and growing are a huge part of who I am. I just love it.

I am currently studying the level 2 gym instructor course alongside a nutrition qualification. Learning more is supporting my own journey and also, I’m getting so annoyed with all the bullshit out there that I want to know the evidence based facts. I’m also working full time, being a mum and juggling everything else in life. It wouldn’t suit everyone but for me I’m thriving. (Although I do have to remind myself to rest at times).

I stopped telling myself I don’t have time. I started telling myself, “I’ll make time for what matters.” Even five minutes counts. So, I move forward everyday. It may be messy, and I definitely don’t have it all figured out but, I keep moving forward everyday day.

There is no rule book so don’t get weighed down by other people’s opinions. Be you, unapologetically. Whatever that looks like for you.
