“I want to weight train but don’t want to get bulky”

This has got to be one of the biggest misconceptions in fitness.

📢 Women, lifting a bit of weight and watching what you eat is not gonna instantly beef you up. I promise you. 

What it will give you:

- more energy
- more strength
- a good routine
- an amazing hobby
- confidence in yourself
- a better immune system

I could go on forever. You get it

Getting “bulky” doesn’t happen by accident. 

And any female you do think it “manly” or “bulky” has worked incredibly and ridiculously hard to look like that. Training VERY consistently, for  LONG time, with SUPER high intensity, and consuming LOTS of protein. 

So don’t miss out on something that would add so much to your life because 42 year old Paul from work said you need to “be careful”

Who weight trains on here?

I’m quite proud of this transformation:

But even prouder of these ones: 

Then: Felt embarrassed asking for help 
Now: Happily ask for advice - why not?!

Then: Failing felt like the biggest deal ever
Now: If I’m never failing, I’m never growing 

Then: Focused on trying to look like others
Now: Focused on being the fittest ME

Then: Wanted to give up if I couldn’t do it
Now: Determined to keep trying till I can

Then: Thought eating less was healthier 
Now: Ensure I FUEL enough everyday 

Then: Wanted fast results 
Now: Found love in the journey 

Gym transformations really don’t end at the mirror.

The BEST ones are internal. 

What’s yours?

I’ve grown an audience of 35k by posting fitness content, but I’m about to stop. Quick recap:

Started posting here about fitness in 2024
Became an in person PT + online coach
Gained a following of 30k on LinkedIn
Made and released my own fitness guides 

But now:

I’ve realised I don’t love being an online coach.
For different reasons. 
So, I’m stopping. 

If there’s one thing about me, I’m a quitter. 

I’m not wasting my time doing something I don’t want to do, when I have the privilege to change it.

I liked the coaching,
I enjoyed creating my products,
but I’ve LOVED writing on LinkedIn.

So why not try build something from that… 👀

I don’t really know what I’m doing
I don’t know how I’m gonna do it
I don’t know if I’ll make it work 
I don’t know if i’ll always love it

But I do know trying is better than doing another 12 months of something, while wondering about something else

Here’s some reminders:

💭 You don’t have to stay in something because you started it

💭 Hindsight doesn’t exist so it might not be how you imagined and that’s life

💭 Life is short enough and long enough to try different things, fail, change your mind, experiment etc.

P.s - I’m excited

In a LinkedIn of “I made £10,000 in the first month of self employment…” Here’s my truths:

- Income could half in a week
- Getting new clients is a graft
- My organisation is not on point
- Especially when you lose others
- There’s parts of the job I don’t like
- I always feel like I could be doing more
- The to-do list is literally ever ending
- I don’t know how long I’ll do it for
- It’s harder than I first expected
- Admin bores the life outta me
- Procrastination is my enemy

I LOVE self employment.

Because the benefits hugely win.

But here’s a reminder that in a world of LinkedIn wins; stress, struggles and slow progress still happen too (probably more than people think)

My take : no one gets their dream life without being a bit “cringe”

All the time I hear:

“I want to try this but it’s cringe”
“I don’t want to look stupid trying”
“No I’m not doing that, it’s embarrassing”

But: 

Your gave influencer was *cringe* when they were filming their first vlog

The biggest LI creators were *cringe* when they were posting to no-one 

The best entrepreneurs were *cringe* when they were offering products for free for feedback 

The 7 figure founders were *cringe* when they were cold DM’ing people about their idea 

Your fave podcaster was *cringe* when they were recording in their bedroom alone

Yet we hold ourselves back SO much because our ego gets in the way.

Our dream lives could literally be sitting on the other side of a bit of cringe, and a lot of hard work.

Maybe we should all be a bit more “cringe”?

6 years ago I went to therapy. 

And last week I asked to go back. 

For reference:

- In 2019 a teacher took me to the GP
- I was diagnosed with anxiety + OCD
- I started cognitive behavioural therapy
- And it was great.

6 years on:

Some things are happening in life
I’m not feeling as in control as I’d like
So I’m going back. 

And this time, I feel absolutely 0 shame about it.

Last time I started therapy, I was…

- getting 4 hours sleep a night
- worrying more than I was thinking
- totally consumed by the anxiety

This time I’m:

- recognising a pattern
- struggling to handle it alone
- so I’m gonna go and get help now

I don’t know who started the rumour that you have to be at rock bottom to get help. But it’s NOT TRUE.

And there should be zero shame in seeking help, before you do hit rock bottom. 

So there’s your reminder. 

If you could do with a bit, or a lot of help, 

go get it 🫶🏻

I’ve been more productive the past 3 days than the past 3 months. 

Here’s what’s been happening:

- I’ll block out a day free of in person clients
- I’ll feel inspired by having loads of time
- I’ll watch some motivational videos
- I’ll get ready to transform my life
- I’ll realise I can’t do it in 1 day
- I’ll tell myself I’m a failure
- And do nothing at all

Lol 

Then I’ll tell myself I’ll do it next time 
And the exact same thing happens.

But this week a friend said
“set some smaller goals” 
so I did.
And it worked. 

The goals went from:

“grow a business where I can travel”
“write 2 weeks worth of content”
“plan out the next 57 steps”

to:

“change my LinkedIn banner”
“write my next 3 posts”
“do 1 hour of research”

and, I did them.

Sometimes the smallest steps are the ones that move the needle.  

So if you’re struggling to get to your big goals, 
maybe focus on the tiny ones

Direction > speed

Habits control your life. 
Here’s 20 I’m intentional with to improve mine:

(Productivity, health, happiness)

1. Walk outside every day 
2. Drink de caff tea after 3pm
3. Make my bed every morning 
4. Have notifications turned off
5. Dark chocolate most days (yum)
6. Choose my outfit the night before
7. Do a daily wordle + mini crossword 
8. Read non-fiction every single night
9. Set screen time limits on my phone
10. Listen to as much podcasts as music 
11. Write a “must do, should do, could do” list
12. Go to bed at the same time most nights
13. Always have a glass of water close by
14. Drink water as soon as I wake up
15. Light candles when I’m working 
16. Have a simple skin care routine 
17. Say hi to people when running 
18. Speak to people in the gym 
19. Keep fruit easily accessible 
20. Eat a balanced diet

Not huge. Not crazy.

But compounded, powerful. 

Over to you. What’s yours?

This 1 thing has been a daily non-negotiable for me for 10 years.

Exercise. 

10 years ago I was studying my A-LEVELS
Used the gym as a daily non-negotiable relief

Never turned back 

- Lift weights
- Go for a run
- Do a circuit
- A badminton match
- Bodyweight exercises
- Even some handstands
- On the worst days, a stretch

Something. Anything. Every day.

In 2020 it was a break from text books. 
Then over the past 10 years, it’s become:

- a hobby I love
- a genuine passion
- my mood regulator
- a huge part of my routine
- 1-2 hours of time to be alone
- something that gives me energy
- peace away from everyday stress

And I don’t think that will ever stop.

Believe it or not I actual LOVE training. 
It’s not a chore, it’s fun. 

And it improves the rest of the day too. 

Whether I’m researching, got my head in a laptop all day, a day full of in-person clients, or a day off to myself, it’s always better with movement

I recommend it.

Ps. - who’s tried padel?! That’s next on my list.

Probably shouldn’t be bragging about this on LinkedIn but I’m a professional quitter. 

At 16 I quit health and social 
At 18 I quit the opportunity to study @ uni

(I chose to resit my A-LEVELS)
(And got onto my dream course)

At 21 I quit that same course 10 weeks in 
(then re-studied marketing)
At 22 I quit trying to get a graduate job
At 25 I quit a new job 6 weeks in 

And 3 days ago I quit my online PT coaching business. 

Not the way 16 year old me thought it would go but maybe that’s a good thing. 

Sidenote - there is a lot of other things I’ve stuck to. 

Quitters get stick for quitting. 
Because people think you quit because it’s hard. 
Wrong. 

I’d say there’s 3 main reasons for mine:

1. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be 
2. I’d outgrown it and needed something new
3. I changed my mind on what I wanted 

And I refuse to stay doing something:

1. to prove I can do
2. because quitting looks bad 
3. because it feels safter than change

And you should to. 

You can still be determined, ambitious, tenacious, *and* a quitter 

What’ve you quit?
