23.01.2022 5 THINGS I WEAR WITH A BADGE OF HONOUR A few weeks ago I did a series on '5 Things I Used To Wear With A Badge Of Honour But No Longer Do' - that I used to think made me better but now realise are things I need to work on instead. But in hindsight I realised all too often we focus on our negatives as opposed to celebrating our good traits. It's so sad that we find it so easy to put ourselves down constantly, yet able to compliment ad bring others up in an instant. I...Continue reading

22.01.2022 5 Things I Used To Wear As A Badge Of Honour Which I No Longer Do - Final Part Number Five: Being The Most Disciplined There is a trend here right? So far the things I have worn as a badge of honour have revolved around pushing hard, being hard, being perfect and being in control, and my final thing, being the most disciplined, absolutely ties in with these things. ... I used to LOVE being the most disciplined, whether it was at uni taking 6 months off of drinking alcohol (for no reason), to never eating the crew food when I was an air hostess, to not sleeping, even up to a few years ago when I used to pride myself on hitting my numbers in MFP spot on, always hitting my steps, always doing my training sessions JUST how they were supposed to be done, all these things I was so proud of. And they absolutely helped me be the success I am today - from getting a 1st Class Honours in my degree, to having my own business, to growing my online platform and even to maintaining the body comp I do - but it also comes with it’s negatives. Being the most disciplined means I am very sensible. And sensible doesn’t equal fun or happiness. It means I find it very easy to say no to things, be it experiences or people because I hold my discipline in a much higher regard. I would turn down birthday dinners or drinks, weekends away or a day out because I had certain goals I had to stick to - be it business or body comp, and not only did this lead to me very easily slipping into an eating disorder, it meant I missed out on so many wonderful experiences which really could have bought me so much happiness I regret to this day. It’s something now with my clients that I place a lot of value on. I never want them to make the same mistakes I did, and so always encourage them to go for drinks, or go out to dinner, or go on that holiday - because if there is one thing I have learnt on my 37 years on this planet it’s that nothing done in extremes will ever make you happy - and isn’t that ultimately what we are all striving for? So now I encourage my clients, and myself, not to be perfect, the most disciplined, to push the hardest, to close off from showing who they are and most importantly not to slack off on their sleep..because life is about a middle, happy ground of moderation and THAT, in my opinion, is ultimately, what will make us all truly happy, See more

21.01.2022 MY INNER BATTLE I have a constant battle about what I post. I worry it's not educational enough, doesn't showcase my service or business enough and/or is too self absorbed. I'm always asking myself things like: ... Should I be posting more IGTV's on nutrition or training? Should I be posting more stories on topics you can learn from as opposed to just my day to day life? Should my posts be more info graphic based with things you can save and use as reference for later? It feels like a battle between keeping it personal (because I am the face of my brand) but also providing enough value at the same time to showcase I'm not an influencer but actually a coach who provides a damn good training, nutrition and lifestyle service. But I sometimes get so caught up in the IG world, I forget it's only PART of my business (an integral part to being discovered yes), as opposed to my soul purpose. But the problem is when you are the face of what you do, it's murky ground about exactly what content offers the most value. It's one thing I envy other businesses that sell a product or service that doesn't have a 'face' - they can simply market without it needing to be about their personal lives or themselves, yet in the fitness industry it's a luxury we just don't have - it's about the coach as much as it is about the service. And the funny thing is, whenever I do post more educational content like workout ideas, or information around managing stress, sleep or optimising training - the posts never do as well as when I post about myself and my journey and I am so protective over my clients and their privacy I very rarely share their journeys unless I have explicit permission from the client which leads me back to the same conclusion - I post about 'me' because that's what comes easiest. BUT actually I've realised it's a win/win - because I find writing these posts as almost an open journal for me. It's where I hold myself accountable, delve into my own actions and feelings, and reflect on the past and the present. I love doing it, find it easy to do it and if social media stopped tomorrow I definitely wouldn't stop. So hopefully I'm on the right track with talking about 'me' and sharing my journey, and although they might not be the most informative or educational posts going - know that actually, just you being there and reading it helps me be a better me - so thank you for stopping in, without even knowing it you actually help me more than you would know

20.01.2022 ONE YEAR PROGRESS What We Think They Want: Rapid results in the shortest amount of time possible ... What We Actually Want: Sustainable results that might take a little longer to get there but can maintain over the long term Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can lose weight and get results quickly, that's honestly not the hardest part of any body composition change. The biggest challenge is not only what do you do once you've got there, but how the hell do you maintain it without feeling as though you are constantly on a diet or living your life in an unsustainable way? So often people's short fall when it comes to changing body composition isn't lack of discipline at all as you might think, but impatience causing drastic radical approaches to training and/or nutrition that only cause them to rebound 6, 12, 24 months later. And for that reason I'm not overly impressed when I see 4, 6 or even 12 week transformation pictures, because all I think is; 'yeah but where will they be a year from now?' A good coach AND a good client understands the benefits of playing the long game, and it's what makes a 12 or 24 month transformation so much more inspiring to me than anything under 12 weeks could ever bring. These 3 amazing women are testament to that. All three started with me in October last year, (before photos) and although achieved their original goal within the first 3 - 6 months, a year on have managed to not only maintain but continue to improve during that time (shown by most recent photos taken in the last few weeks). 1st Client: Catherine Hopkin: Before Photos: October 2nd 2019 - After Photos Now 2nd Client: Kylie Mildren: Before Photos: October 19th 2019 - After Photos Now 3rd Client: Rheanna Squillacioti: Before photos October 6th 2019 - After Photos Now So I want to thank these women for the bottom of my heart, not only for being with me for a year, but also for making my job so much easier and not being impatient, and understanding that long term changes are all about the long game. Be honest with yourself, if you had the choice of getting outstanding results in 6 weeks time you were told in a year from now you would be back to how you are now or worse, or you could get the results you wanted in 6 months, but in 12 months your body comp would be better than you ever imagines which would you chose? I know what my answer would be. So be the tortoise, not the hare - and make sure to enjoy every moment of the process along the way.

19.01.2022 INTROVERT PROBLEMS I am extremely shy - I remember growing up I was petrified of even the thought of attempting to hold a conversation with anyone but my immediate friends because I was so scared of those awkward silences and knowing what to say that I would avoid it at all costs. If someone did come and talk to me I would start sweating, my hands would get clammy and my heart would beat faster - I just didn't know how to handle a conversation or small talk and a...lways worried people would think I was boring and laugh or talk about me for lacking personality behind my back. And although I have come out of my shell a lot since I was younger to this day I still find the thought of small talk quite overwhelming, which means when at the gym or even walking I tend to keep my head down and avoid eye contact with others to save them the 'hassle' of having to talk to me. I always think; "I'm sure they don't really want to talk to me so I'll save them the hassle of having to fake being nice and avoid eye contact" - or if I do talk to them imagine what they then go and say to others behind my back. So add to the mix I also have a massive resting bitch face and it would easy to mistake me for a stuck up snob. Which is a shame really, because at the gym there are some really nice people that I would love to get to know more or at least have the odd chat with. The girls in particular hang out in groups and I'm in the background just pretending I didn't see them to save them from 'me'. And when this happens half of me feels relieved I don't have to make the effort (because small talk for any shy introvert is a real effort), but the other half of me of course years to be part of it - it's human nature. So the other day I was in the bathroom with a girl who has trained the same time as me for months and I've always been too shy to introduce myself to - in fact I found her quite intimidating for no reason at all other than this image I had painted in my head. I was so close to just walking out without saying a word but I stopped and introduced myself to her and next minute the conversation was flowing And I realised she was probably feeling just the same about me as I was her. Once we got chatting I was so glad I reached out because now instead of avoiding her I can at least smile and say 'hello' - a big first step for introverts like me. Sometimes it's easy to kid ourselves that being shy and means we don't need, want nor crave the company of others or the need to build new relationships and be part of a community but it's simply not true. Small connections are so important, so I vow to keep working on smiling more, avoiding less and being more open to interaction - because boy if we need it it's now more than ever. See more

18.01.2022 FITNESS FACADES An idealism:"the unrealistic belief in or pursuit of perfection"... A facade: "A form of personality change that is performed to fulfill a particular emotion you wish to portray. When people put up facades, they are acting on the outside differently than how they are feeling on the inside'" I love this image created by @chronicals not only because I just love what she has created - but because I love what an image without eyes represents - an idealism created quite often using a facade. I use this photo (swipe to see original) in all my marketing for that reason from my website home page, my profile pic on here and even my email signature, because it captures this confident, competent, happy and content me - and this 'idealism' that I want others to buy into. And don't get me wrong, this isn't a facade at all, I love this image because I do think it captures who I am....and if I'm not that person for whatever reason or whatever time I try my hardest to show or portray the real me and be as authentic as possible. And for a while there I felt the whole industry had taken a shift in the same direction, it became more authentic, real and raw, but lately, and I don't know if it is just me, but I feel there has been a shift back to people showing only their fitness 'facades' - this personality, emotion or idealism they want to portray to others. It's yet again all about image; the perfect body, perfect life or this idea you can have it all, or client transformations, challenges and before and afters as opposed to being driven by changing people's knowledge, quality of life, relationship with self and others ..I don't know to me it's just become very - well - superficial again. For the most part what everyone else does is up to them, and consumers of course need to take responsibility in anything they consume about what they chose to believe or not. But I do find myself getting frustrated with these fitness facades because I know so many women look up to and aspire to them, yet I know they are just untrue. So next time you are scrolling through instagram and see someone you aspire to be - be it body, mind, life, workout - look at their eyes and ask yourself - is that all just a facade!? Because it may just be you're aspiring to an idealism that even that simply isn't real - and although it may seem inspiring or motivating over the long term, comparison to those types of facades really will be the thief of joy.

16.01.2022 IS COFFEE BAD FOR YOU!? I LOVE coffee, I could even argue my first coffee is my favourite part of the day - but often I get asked; 'Is coffee bad for me?!' For some reason coffee, or more specifically caffeine, gets a really bad wrap and people think to be 'healthy' you should cut it out an that's simply not true! Coffee can be positive for both our health and performance and not all bad at all. In moderation coffee has been shown to: ... Have both physical and mental health benefits: 1. Long term research correlates coffee drinkers to suffer from less disease risk than their non-coffee drinking counterparts. Decreased risk factors included were heart disease, diabetes, dementia, certain types of cancer, liver disease, parkinson's disease, and depression. 2. A 2013 study out of the New England Journal of Medicine found that within a population of more than 400 thousand people, regular coffee consumers drinking 2 - 3 cups of coffee per day was associated with a 10% decreased risk of death for men at any age, and a 13% decreased risk of death for women at any age. 4. Coffee contains antioxidants and is arguably the #1 antioxidant source in the 'average' person's diet 5. Long term data on Type ll diabetics has demonstrated that habitual coffee consumption improves blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity Increase performance by: 1. Accelerating the speed and transmission of electrical signalling from the brain to the muscles - so the contraction of your muscles can happen faster 2. Improves endurance by lowering perceived effort 3. Increases a stress producing hormone glucocorticoid secreted from the adrenal glands which is very energy giving to the body. This is a great training aid especially when in a dieting state when calories are low. 4. Caffeine prevents exercise induced intra-muscular decreases in potassium which keeps the cells more hydrated and performing better 5. Caffeine up regulates free-fatty acid use during exercise as it's energy of choice. We want this if we are in a fat loss phase because it delays the depletion of glycogen and uses fatty acids instead. BUT this doesn't mean you can drink 10 coffees per day and be 'healthy!' - as with anything there IS a sweet spot hence the word 'moderation' - and let's not forget taking all that milk and sugar in moderation too!

16.01.2022 Struggle to Meditate? Then Read! We all know the power meditation has. It calms our minds, helps us be more present and mindful and to live in the moment - yet so many people tell me they 'can't' meditate, they 'don't get it' or it's simply 'not for them' - or not willing to prioritise it. I used to tell people just to keep trying until it stuck, but the more I learn the more I realise asking someone who has never engaged in any type of mindful practice before is... like asking someone to deadlift the first time they ever step foot inside a gym who have no body awareness or idea what they are doing. As with any physical activity first you have to start with the basics like simple muscle activation and learning different techniques before you can put it into a solid training program.The same goes with meditation. It's hard and takes a lot of practice, and you need to first learn the ground work of simply how to become more present before you can taking it on a deeper level. For some this might be attending a yoga class, but I like to suggest to my clients to simply pick up a book and start reading. Think about it..have you ever been so engrossed in a book that you have forgotten about the world around you? Have you ever looked up from the page and realised that it has grown dark outside without you noticing? Everyone has. It is a way of escaping the world and getting absolute focus on one activity concentrating the mind on something other than those thoughts going round and round in your head.Just as meditation can calm us, so can reading a good book. Just as meditation can bring our attention inward, quieten the outside world and help us focus on ourselves just being in the moment, so can a good book. And when we we read our brain is alive - not with thoughts of what's to come or regrets of the past, but producing our own images, sounds and feelings in our imagination. Exactly as a visualisation meditation does. So if you 'can't do' meditation simply commit to the act of reading good book for 20 minutes a day. I do every night as my last activity before bed and it grounds me in a way nothing else can. When you find a good book it's the best feeling, and that's what meditation is. Start with reading, commit to the practice, embed it into your routine and then who knows? Once you have mastered that practice meditation will seem a lot less scary and easier step to take.

15.01.2022 "If I looked like that I would be so happy..." How many times have you said that? You look at someone and think ‘wow that’s the one thing I’m missing - if I just looked like that i would be so much happier’ And to a certain extent maybe you would - you might have a higher self esteem or more confidence or feel more empowered by all the hard work you had done for a short while. BUT we tend to have this ability to look at things with blinkers, and often when we think ...of ourselves in these moments let all the other things which can negatively affect our lives melt away as if they too will vanish with a changing body. We believe and think "I could deal with life so much better if I looked like that" or "I wouldn’t get as angry/be as unmotivated" or "I'd be all over happier" - but we forget that everything else in life which makes us unhappy is still there no matter what we look like. A family member might get really sick, you might lose your job, your workload may be overwhelming, you might be fighting with your partner - just because your body changes it doesn't mean your ability to cope with them is somehow magically improved. These things are still there and your ability to cope - or not - a still the same. I’m all for changing body composition for the right reasons, as long as it’s done without blinkers on. Don’t expect it to change your world, and don’t think that those who have your ‘dream body’ have a ‘dream life’ either because that’s simply not the case. Feeling confident and happy in your skin can totally make you happier - but it’s NOT the key to happiness. Understanding that before you undertake any body comp change really is key, otherwise you will always feel like you are chasing something you can never quite reach. See more

12.01.2022 How Perfect Is My Life? It looks pretty damn good right? I get to go to the beach every day, I work my own hours, have a long term solid relationship, train when I want, seem in control of my life etc...but how much of that is ACTUALLY true as opposed to just what I portray? One of my clients texted me the other night in a bad headspace, her partner was working away from home and she'd been by herself for more than a few weeks, and this night it had got too much .... She texted me saying "I just want my boyfriend home, like all my other friends have their boyfriends home every night while I'm sat here by myself it's not fair" And I totally sympathised with her, she's been through a lot, but I had to remind her what her mind was telling her simply wasn't true. She was comparing her own, very real, situation to everyone else's portrayed ideals which she really had no idea whether were true or not. She was imagining all her friends snuggled up on the sofa madly in love with their partners, comparing this made up ideal to her reality and digging herself into a further negative mental hole. Because that's what we do, we compare to others rightly or wrongly ALL THE TIME. And comparison strips us of happiness, because when we self-compare with others we tend to compare their positives with our negatives, upholding ourselves to unrealistic standards we can never meet. And with social media available to us 24/7 this is not more available and at our fingertips than ever before. For example over the long weekend I was by myself all of Monday doing work, and it was so easy to scroll through the gram comparing images of people by the beach and with their partners as these ideal lives and would have been easy for me to feel sorry for myself and as though I was missing out. But the reality simply isn't true. Everyone has their own shit going on, no one or no relationship is perfect, and as I said in my story the other day, social media really is just a very small reel of everyone's lives. So before you start comparing your life to others remember, they are only showing you what they want to show you so you have already lost an impossible battle. Instead of looking outwards turn inwards, get grateful for what you do have, and I promise you it will make you a hell of a lot happier. See more

10.01.2022 MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FITNESS INDUSTRY I have a love/hate relationship with the fitness industry. There is a lot I love, but there is also a lot I hate, and ever since I entered it's world 8 years ago it's been an up and down relationship like a roller coaster. To start with I loved it! It motivated me, inspired me and gave me some awesome goals. I learnt so much, aspired to be so much and dived in head first and let it totally consume me. ... It changed who I was, some for the good and some not so much. I found my calling and my passion yes, but it came at a cost of the 'old' me. Suddenly I no longer identified with the pre-fitness Kylie - and didn't want to, she was soft (physically and mentally), naive, uneducated and lazy - this new me was hard, motivated. driven and passionate. I thought I was totally new and improved and as such I lost some important relationships, including my ex, who I no longer felt identified with who I was, and for a time my family who I didn't make time for as they weren't part of my shiny new 'world'. As time went on and I tried my hardest to fit in and me one of the 'fitspo' girls I lost my way, I was unhappy, I lacked confidence, and actually if I'm honest totally lost my identity. It took me down a rabbit hole for a while, where I thought I had to be the leanest, or the strongest, or the fittest, or do a million photoshoots to show my worth, and I spent my time trying to fit into a crowd that in hindsight weren't really my people at all. I yearned to be an Aussie girl who had grown up in sports, trained for years and could hold her own in a group of people, as opposed to a skinny English girl who had never lifted a weight until her 30's and had little to no banter, especially in a big group. I began to hate the fitness industry for what it had turned me into, I couldn't identify with myself anymore and still couldn't quite see how I fit in- so I went through a phase of bagging out the industry in every post I could - putting it down and using a lot of unnecessary energy warning people not to fall into the same trap I did. Then with a lot of soul searching and self development I found myself again, the old me, and realised she wasn't too soft, too lazy or too naive, she was perfect just the way she was and didn't need to change a thing. And she could fit into this industry just the way she was, the way I am, without needing to put on a show or be someone I'm not. Now I feel comfortable with my place in this industry, and my message and worth - not to be the leanest, the most successful, the strongest - and certainly NOT to have the biggest voice - but to quietly do my thing share my story and my message and most importantly keep things as real as I possibly can. I no longer love the industry and I no longer hate it either, I able to take it for what it is and know as long as my integrity is upheld and I am true to who I am, nothing else really matters.

06.01.2022 3 CORE EXCERCISES ON A SWISS BALL Bored of doing the same old sit ups for your abs? Then check out these three core exercises using a swiss ball:... Video One: Swissball Jack Knife Video Two: Swissball Rollout Video Three: Swissball Stir The Pot These all work the anterior core so for added burn superset with some lateral core such as a side plank or side bend I use core work not to get 'abs' or a washboard stomach but for trunk stability and strength, to improve every day life, posture, lifts, movement etc and to work on the weak links of certain movements. Depending on the the priority I like to put core at the end or the start of my programming. Try 3 sets, 15 - 20 of each with 60 seconds rest in-between

06.01.2022 5 Things I Used To Wear As A Badge Of Honour Which I No Longer Do - Part Four Number Four: Being Closed Off and Showing A Lack of Emotion Ever since I was a child I was the ‘non-emotional’ one out of me and my sister. I never used to cry at films as she did, I rarely cried in general and thought of myself as tough and hard to break. This carried on through to my 20’s and even the start of my 30’s. ... I wasn’t particularly affectionate with friends, partners or my family, and if I met someone new, especially at work, I came across as particularly standoffish and put up a front where I was hard to approach and get to know - because I wanted them to earn the right to know me. A lot of this stemmed from a particularly toxic job where the culture was to make people earn the right to be part of the team, and part of it tied into the introverted side of me whereby if I came across as a bitch it hid the fact I was actually really shy and insecure. If I didn’t let people in, then I didn’t have to justify my worth in why they should know me - it was easier never to let them in to start with. It even meant over the years I had a particularly fraught relationship with both my sister and parents. Not that we fell out but I just kept them at a distance. I was too ‘busy’, they didn’t get me and I didn’t have time for them. Being affectionate and showing emotions represented weakness which was something I wasn't. Now my heart breaks for this old me - what was she thinking?! Having these barriers up doesn't bring happiness! So now I tell my parents I love them every day, I prioritise time with my sister, I aim to be the most welcoming in the room as opposed to the hardest to approach (although my resting bitch face doesn’t help me with this!), and I work on letting myself be more open and vulnerable with my emotions. As always it’s a work in progress but as soon as I started letting others in and my affection and emotions come through, I got so much back that I’m determined never to close off and be that hard shelled person again.

03.01.2022 What shapes your life? So we all know how obsessed I am with watching' 24 Hours In Emergency' right? It connects me with home but more than that it’s the stories that are told which really pull at my heart strings. Plus it throws up some real gems when it comes to how we view ourselves, relationships and lives in general. Take the other day... a mum was talking about her son who had impaled himself on railings outside his school trying to jump over them to take a ...short cut. He was pretty badly injured and the mum said ‘you think your life is shaped by the big decisions but it’s the small everyday decisions which shape you’ And it’s SO TRUE. We spend days, months, years even, fretting over big decisions like our jobs, where to live, our relationships etc but they don’t shape who we are. For Jack it was a decision to ride his bike to work one day which shaped his future - not what to study at uni, or for others it might be making seemingly small decision to go out one evening where they meet their future partner. It's these small decisions which take us on a certain path But it’s MORE than that ... it’s the even SMALLER decisions which really shape us. It’s the decisions we make unconsciously every minute of every day which we give little thought which truly shape who we are. The decision to go for a walk as opposed to lay in bed, the decision to drink water over soft drink, the decision to meditate and spend 5 minutes being mindful a day over scrolling through social media. The big decisions don’t matter, we will still be ‘us’ whatever job or degree we chose, but those small everyday choices you make really do shape you into YOU - be it for better or worse. So tomorrow just chose to be a little more conscious of those little choices you make and ask yourself -‘how are these shaping me?' And it might make more impact to your life than any big decision could See more

02.01.2022 Should You Do Cardio During A Muscle Building Phase? We all know that in order to build muscle you need to have enough energy availability in order to do so, meaning you need to be eat more calories than you expend to give your body the raw materials it needs to be anabolic (building) and not catabolic (breaking down). It is often therefore a common belief, that if you are in a hypertrophy phase, the last thing you should be doing is any type of cardio because... that's simply going to take you further away from your goal of expending more calories than you want and giving you less energy availability to build muscle. And as an ectomorph, and therefore someone who finds it hard to put on any muscle mass, I used to think I couldn't even look at a treadmill in a building phase for fear of losing any of my 'gains'. In fact I used to say 'I'm not allowed to do cardio', believing I was one of the lucky few who could get the body I wanted without ever needing to get a sweat on. BUT with time comes knowledge, and I definitely no longer think that way. In fact I now see a place for some sort of cardio in everyone's programs no matter what goal or body type. Adding in some form of interval training to will actually only BENEFIT your hypertrophy goal by not only providing a different adaptation, but by also improving blood flow and increasing your fitness levels so you can push harder and for longer in your weights sessions than you could before. Increased intensity and exertion = increased stimulus = increased adaption, it's a win/win. Where most people go wrong however, is not being able to make the mental shift the purpose of cardio is not about 'fat loss' or 'calorie burn' as it was during a fat loss phase, but instead used as a tool to optimise the weights sessions. Which essentially means if you want to do cardio during a hypertrophy phase that's fine, but you better make sure you EAT BACK the calories burnt so as not to take away from the ultimate goal of muscle gain. I find this is a real mental shift for women particular to get their heads around, and as such tend to not eat back the calories as mentally they just can't make that shift in mindset, and therefore never reach their ultimate goal of improved body comp with more muscle mass and instead get stuck in a perpetual cycle of overtraining and under eating and never seeing any real change. So yes go for your life if you want to do cardio but earn your right! And if you are trying to build muscle make damn sure you eat a hella lot too! See more

01.01.2022 THE VALUE OF A GOOD COACH I practice what I preach and since I entered the industry 8 years ago have had a coach for the majority of that time. And every coach I've had has helped me develop in all areas of my life - because I researched and picked great people. But all too often people dive headfirst and commit to people that aren't coaches at all, leaving bad blood and never to trust a coach again. ... Which devastates me - because a good coach can be life changing: A good coach isn't a dictator or a spoon feeder, they are a vessel to allow you to become more self reliant, empower you to take more, not less, responsibility, and provide you with an invaluable space for self development. A good coach doesn't impart their values onto you, but encourages you to explore your own A good coach doesn't berate you if you detour a little from the plan, but picks you up, brushes you off and holds your hand to lead you back on the right track. A good coach doesn't make you feel like a nuisance or pain if you reach out for advice or help, but there for you every step of the way. My aim is to change the image of a coach, and to showcase what value a good coach can be you can WIN a training, nutrition and lifestyle coaching session with me as part of this month’s giveaway collaboration with @thestudiocollective.co! Don’t miss your chance. It takes less than a minute to enter, and you could take home $3500 of goodies! Just head to @thestudiocolletive now and look out for their GIVEAWAY post - and hurry! It closes 8pm on 31st October.
