Why I Took a Step Back (And Why I'm Feeling More Aligned Than Ever)

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Honestly, I can’t even remember the last time I properly sat down and filmed some content. But today felt like the right time to sit, reflect, and share where I’ve been, why I went a little quiet, and most importantly—where I’m heading.

For a while now, I’ve been a bit off the radar. I took a conscious step back from creating content, not because I don’t love it, but because I needed clarity. I needed to realign and really ask myself: Where am I going? What do I want this journey to look like?

Getting Caught in the Social Media Trap

Like many of you know, social media can be an incredible tool. It’s allowed me to build a platform from absolutely nothing to a thriving community that now reaches over a quarter of a million people. That still blows my mind. But with that growth comes pressure—and a lot of noise.

The world of content creation, especially in health and fitness, is packed with both inspiring creators and unfortunately, people who push products or methods I don’t believe in. And honestly, it’s so easy to get sucked into that world of “you should be doing more,” “you need to sell this,” “promote that.” It started to feel like I was losing sight of what made my journey special in the first place: authenticity.

Real Life Comes First

At the end of the day, I’m a real person, just like you. I’m a mum of three, juggling a house, kids, work, and trying to stay healthy physically and mentally. I never want to come across as disingenuous. I’ve always shared my real, honest, sometimes messy life because that’s what people connect with—and that’s what I want to keep doing.

During this break, I kept living the lifestyle that got me here. My calorie deficit, my walks, my simple food choices that have always worked for me. I’ve still been showing up for myself every single day—just a bit more quietly.

Rediscovering My Purpose

What this time off has given me is a fresh perspective. I feel like I’ve reconnected with my original purpose:
To help real people, living real lives, find real solutions.
Not perfection. Not fad diets. Not products that promise the world and deliver nothing.

The success stories we’re seeing in the community are incredible—people smashing their goals, making sustainable changes, and finally feeling in control of their health. That’s what fires me up.

Blocking Out the Noise

Like I always say in the group: trust the process. The same applies to me. I had to tune out the noise, stop comparing myself to others, and focus on what I know works. The calorie deficit approach that helped me lose 11 stone isn’t flashy—it’s simple, sustainable, and real.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about consistently showing up. Whether that’s my weekly Aldi shops, my long walks that became my moving meditation, or my daily meal tracking using NutraCheck—these are the little habits that built this entire transformation.

What’s Next?

I’m back, but with a renewed energy and clearer vision for where I want to go. There are exciting things happening behind the scenes, new projects, new content, and more ways to support all of you who continue to follow and trust this journey.

If you’re still here reading this—thank you. Truly. Your support means everything. You’ve allowed me to grow this little private space I started with my sister into something much bigger—a family, a tribe that lifts each other up.

So stay tuned—big things are coming. And as always, we’ll keep doing it the right way: authentically, honestly, and together.
