#54 You Genuinely CAN... A Promise From Me
SO SO often I see women don’t get results or make the changes they want to make with their lifestyle Because they have already told themselves they can’t. They believe so deeply that this is just how they are, The believe that change doesn’t happen to them. They aren’t like other people… The moment you think like this - the moment you start the self fulfilling prophecy. You wait til you “fail” and say “well this is what always happens.” How amazing would it feel to break free of that? Hosted on ...

#32 Don’t Make this Nutrition Mistake in January
Love me a wee January health kick. By the time the new year comes round my body is almost begging me for some movement and fresh food. We all seem to HATE the middle ground though, and instead of doing just that - some movement and fresh food..
