After building up on 6 platforms this have been my biggest lesson learnt. I hope by me learning this it saves you from all the drama!

It is not the fear of failure I am scared of, but the fear I am far more greater than I could ever imagine. When I was bought up I was never told I would be truly great. So discovering my true greatness at the age of 27 years old have been an extremely emotional experience. After not being able to rise on the show here are my lessons learnt. I’m here to tell you if no one have already told you, “You are made for great things”.
As soon as you’ll embrace the negative emotions on social media that is when you’ll make it!
It’s lonely when you first start out as you grow apart from people you knew 10 years plus. However, if you put the real you out there your tribe will find you!
Honestly that one step of faith on that invisible staircase will soon turn into an escalator.
Listen you may piss the people off that you love at the start, but they will never be more grateful at the end!
When you are so public about your goals you have to sacrifice those hours of leisure for luxury! But at least when you relax you won’t have to worry about what you have left to do!
Say no! People pleasers are liars and your happiness will always come before anyone else’s!
We live in a world where if we are willing to embrace negative emotion we can actually make money!
It’s inevitable with my macro goals I will be a millionaire. The more people you help the easier follows! Find a solution to a problem!
So I slept 3 hours late! I nearly kissed my second opportunity, but it wasn’t a guaranteed one at that! It was a risk paying that amount of money simple for 10-15 minutes of the SAS: Who Dares Wins team time, but it was most definitely worth it!
Before my second attempt at the Jerry can test this podcast by The Life Coach School was launched regarding carrying failures like free weights. It was at the point I knew I would succeed. That the universe wanted me to have this!
Not many people even get one chance at their dreams. Let alone two! For updates about SAS: Who Dares Wins check out my social media pages.
When you thought you’d have 10 months to prepare for SAS: Who Dares Wins, but its looking more like 3 weeks! It’s so easy to self sabotage. To not show up, but literally I’m taking one action step at a damn time!
Please know this fun doesn’t have an age limit, but it definitely has a fitness limit! Start today and build!
One thing I hate the most about British is the bull shit way they look at people with dyslexia!
I may not succeed on ig, but I can take those lessons and apply to to tiktok & LinkedIn.
Urghhhh being a grown up means not running away from your problems upsetting yourself long term. And well facing them immediately!
So what’s the latest about the show and my latest decision about pursing it. After over 1 year of dedication.
I’m not a victim mode mentality. What is the fact aka the situation and what can I DO to take back control of this situation and my future.
As always a massive thank you, but this podcast is to provide you value. Drop me a DM on any social platform of an episode you would like to hear. Any topic is fine! And I mean it we all poop, have sex etc I’m not bothered. I’m here to be real!
In this episode I had to get real honest with myself and admit that eating like an athlete is not my strength! So, here goes to building up that trust again with myself.
The tidy up challenge every day this week I will do one thing off of my to do list. Example, cancel the credit card I haven’t used in 3 years, move my old pension into my new pension, give the items to be flipped to my brother and so on. Here I explain why one daily and not all at once. Let me know below a task you will be doing this week.
Woke up at 2.20am this morning and literally been sorting my life out for 4 hours. Why have I got all this stuff? And why are things still in boxes after 2 years? So, I’ve grabbed the items I know I won’t do and mitigated it to friends & family members I know will.
I can’t even explain to you what I’ve learnt over the past 2 years! It’s not even a dream! It’s a goal and all you have to do is put in some work!
Why you should go to the natural sobers on the world and how to handle life when it throws you a curve ball.
So you have missed a week from the gym. This is my go to guide on how to get back on track.
It’s been 24 hours since I’ve gotten off the plane. How am I doing? What am I doing to set myself up for next week? Will I adjust to the 8 hour time difference before tomorrow?
A lot of people think I’m so motivated and high energy and they couldn’t be more wrong! I show up and be honest with you, but by me showing up and executing anyways. I’ve built up that momentum to then feel motivated and high energy. It’s a train! The train don’t go if you don’t add fuel to it!
I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m bored! This is the time you have to take a step back and reflect to create that motivation to move forward!
Listen don’t ever let anyone back you into a corner! Never sacrifice your happiness for money! All that leads into you spending more money to make you happy anyways! There never just an option 1 or 2... create your own!
I’m sorry home girl went full rant here. Listen if you have started dreaming don’t let someone who settled take that away from you! Not now or ever! You have to drag your own ass out of bed! You die at 80! Don’t stop!
I truly seek the keyboard warriors of the world. Like come at me Bro. Which is what I got to remind myself when I start feeling sorry for myself at the time. So for those rebellious fuckers this is for you!
I couldn’t believe it! I really couldn’t! This impossible dream was the least impossible thing I’ve ever done in my life! It blew my mind how easy it actually was to get there! Now I have one year to accept that I will achieve all the goals I’ve written.
Do you remember that friend you haven’t seen in a year? Or that one day off in the gym which is now months? Do not even break a commitment with yourself! Only scheduled days off are acceptable!
Listen I’m telling you now the training is great, but if you don’t add this principal you won’t be training long term!
People always like to tell me to calm down or rest, but do you know what? That would actually make me even more unhappy! You have to live your why in life even if others do not understand it.
After 11 years I can finally wear the clothes that I truly feel comfortable in! This have been the most greatest gift and I hope everyone of you manage to fe like this one day. That complete comfortability in your own skin. Only wear what makes you feel amazing. Just meh should never be an option!
People don’t considering how being the best version of themselves actually helps others as well! If you can change one persons lives you actually accomplished changing 1,000 people’s lives. Think about the domino effect. Never underestimate the power of one confident person!
This is a little podcast to say thank you and to also encourage others to not write themselves off!
Oh yeah, trust and believe there are some days making a piece of toast feels difficult. So, this is my quick go to breakfast which requires minimal effort, tasty and decent macros.

Yesterday I took myself out on an amazing date which massively boasted my mental health. It’s amazing what £10 and some quiet fun time can achieve. My top tips as well if you’re scared to go to the cinema solo. I truly can’t recommend this enough I’ve done it 10+ times! I actually prefer the cinema solo or alternatively with my parents.
Yesterday’s afternoon it was like the whole world fell down on me. I wasn’t exhausted or was I just really scared of failing yet again! I had a mock version of the test to run through at 6.30pm and I dreaded it the whole day. To the point I made myself extremely tired and depressed. I couldn’t even speak to anyone. However, I showed up to the mock test and failed over AND OVER again! It hurt, but I came to realise in the night it’s okay! This morning I had my first successful run ever.
It doesn’t matter who you are. Life is going to happen to you. As I show up so strong today I wasn’t always this way I can ensure. It’s been tough and I’ve had to get tough along the way to get there. This is why I know how to stop myself getting depressed as I’ve been severely depressed and I’ve crawled my ass out of it. However, one day if my child does etc you know something which truly I will need help with I will then look at medication. The only way to get mentally strong is literally by suffering.
Update of what happened on Saturday and my action plans. It was hard to not quit at this moment. One of the most painful moments in a long time.

It’s sounds more simple than it is, but executing this theory is the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your life.

Social media created myhitlife! My self discovery and commitment! Here’s how to make it a positive tool for achieving your goals!
People just don’t get it! They want different results, but aren’t willing to change their behavior! To achieve a goal it becomes part of you! It’s a lifestyle! A pattern! A routine that you don’t break momentum with!
I repeated to myself on my second attempt of Jacobs ladder, “YOU ARE FUCKING CRAZY”. My walk up Pen Y Fan turned into the SF experience events.
Hey y’all! After 10 hours and 40 minutes of sleep it’s safe to say your girl is loving life! Today I have planned some self care, hiking and content creation. In this podcast I’m talking about how you should spend your Saturday and also, how your body is like a credit card. You can borrow time at the cost of emotional strain I.e. you will start getting low if you don’t rest accordingly. If you follow my on social media you would notice this drop on Thursday.
Can you even believe it? A year and a half on I’m in the best shape of my life? Not only did I not gain any weight. I lost it! No fad diets. Just creating a lifestyle and documenting every step of the way with you through social media. Don’t let other people’s limits define your own!

My lessons learnt from inconsistency and also, an added guilt trip to how easy the podcast is that you need to create your own! 30 minutes challenge in here. I want a DM starting, ‘Your podcast name’. Don’t let me down, but most importantly don’t let yourself down!

Following on later today I will have an IGTV video & x3 ig posts for Monday motivation including the summary tips, meditation and my positive affirmations. Honestly if you ever have a question and need help I will give it as this makes me so happy. Here’s the beginner guide to setting yourself up for success and slowly getting a morning routine in place. Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day aka your bad habits weren’t! So we will step by step overcome your brain! It’s rewiring time! Let’s fucking go!
In life we never really overcome obstacles. We have to overcome ourselves aka how we react to each obstacle. Life is really down to how much we want to go to war with ourselves.
The dreaded bleep test! It is just me or was the last time you done this you were 15? Exactly so when you hear 10.1 you’re like WHAT?! How I’m getting over it!

So here’s the latest deets and action plan I’ve put in place. Let’s rock this! If you want to achieve a crazy goal then put it out there into the world.
It’s official I wanted to throw in the towel after 2 years. Here’s why and what stopped me.
Here’s my top tips of how I balance eating out daily with staying healthy and also, saving some money and weight gain along the way.
When I arrive on holidays what are the first activities I do to set me up for success for the week. I anti weight gain on holidays. Trust me the feeling on coming back with no weight gain is worth more than eating whatever you want on holiday! I’m all about balance, but that YOLO dick face life isn’t for me.
So your ultimate travel nightmare happened! You’ve missed your holiday! I can remember once one of my work colleagues missed his flight and therefore, never went on holiday. Here I talk about how I reacted which allowed me to then reschedule and go to another destination. I find that by watching others I know which reaction suits me best in life. How would you react?
I truly believe being happy is a choice. So here’s to my 2 year anniversary of me focusing on myself. Of me mending all my past cuts and wounds. Of being taking responsibility and not bleeding on others. It’s a week of celebration y’all. What would you do to celebrate?
If you are going to do it for free you may as well document it so one day you may get paid for it.
So all those little things I haven’t done I write them all down so it’s not tracked on paper and no longer in my mind. Then one by one I tick them off and I sleep better at night.
Walking to work a man changed my morning by smiling at me. So after listening to Tim Ferris Star Gazing principal I decided I would extremely uncomfortable and make someone else’s day. My normal morning routine is to avoid all human contact and stare at the floor. Turns out I’m not the only one! Humans are hilarious to watch. I sweated at the thought by smiling at others. I’ve never had such a fun morning commute. I highly recommend testing the experiment out.
Something we all struggle with setting that early alarm, but ask switching off our brains so we can actually sleep. This is my go to guide to switching off at night.
Well it’s Monday so I thought I’d drop some knowledge bombs. I’ve been extremely motivated and extremely go away world all in one year. Here’s how I survive and show up daily.
How amazing is it when you can look forward to clothes shopping?! When everything you put on works. My top tips though is to only buy clothes which are you... not just in right now! And your color!
At some point you won’t even desire your old habits. Or get jealous of people etc as you’ll feel so good in your body you will value that feeling more! Over time the desire dies out. My binge eat now to a couple of years ago is completely different!
What’s the best way to rest and recover ready to pick up where you left off? Here’s my top tips and how to minimize loose of motivation and momentum to getting back to the gym.
Unfortunately back last year I trapped two nerves in my neck. Some tips how I’m managing recovery.
You know you are going to have problems finding the one when you google, “Is David Goggins single?”. Not because of his looks and certainly not because of his age! But because you know without a doubt in your mind you’d level up everything in your life! That ever goal you wrote down you would achieve, because of that, “ What if mentality” and that he wouldn’t take one excuse. After writing this it’s kind of terrible that you need to find someone to do that for you and you wouldn’t do it for yourself. That you’d bet on someone else more than yourself. I guess I got work to do!
Apologies recorded from the toilet in Nandos. Just a reminder sometimes it’s not about running away from your work, but taking that rest you need to be around your family. That reward for all the hard work. Tonight when I go back home I can then catch up on my content. Have an amazing bank holiday Monday my friends!
When I grew up I honestly never thought I’d be the woman I am today. The woman I needed in my life. It honestly brings a tear to my eye. So I bring this realness onto tiktok.
If you follow me on social media you would have seen vlogs or lives where I’ve gone off on one. These topics always trigger me off, because I’m an extremely honest person I find it very difficult how robot like we have to be on social media.
Obviously I’ve pre-recorded my content and even I will be listening to this today lol. Due to illness knocking me out of Routine it’s been tough! Sometimes when I post my content I feel like it’s mocking me ha. But let’s face it there’s no way we can avoid the peaks and lows of life!
My new challenge to overcome my fear of heights and open water. Sometimes it comes a time where it’s make or break. Are you willing to go with war with yourself? To push yourself weekly to overcome yourself?
Audience statistics could be the key to your success, but would you listen to them? Would you do what it takes to succeed?
This to me is one of the most valuable podcasts I’ve ever created. If you saw how I was yesterday you’d understand. I led in my bed for 6 hours feeling so sorry for myself and even considered quitting. However, by using these techniques I turned it all around in 3 hours! All my normal social media goals, Titan goals and then recorded 7 podcasts, 7 vlogs, tiktoks, 7 IGTV videos and a blog!
My new hack of mentally slapping myself into place. If you follow me on social you know I’m going through a mental rollercoaster lately so my morning routine is everything to me.
Sometimes in life we have mental breakdowns. And why is this? We deny our DNA and try to be something we are not. I now have intense gratitude for my career.
When I start getting bad days or weeks and go into victim mode I have to constantly remind myself that life is 50/50. Also, that I’m extremely blessed as realistically I only ever experience 20/80.
This is vital! The more we hate on ourselves the more we will seek things to comfort us. That’s where the overeating and over drinking habits come into play. Accept you’re human and move on!
Your guilt is your advantage. How do you think I’ve been showing up every day on social media for nearly 2 years when I don’t feel like it. So on Saturdays now I create my content because I promised my team I’d be there.
Speaking of me being a hot mess this morning I will be owning my commute time on the train to get my life back in order! Don’t just throwaway 1-2 hours of your day!
So we all know when I Holiday... I Holiday. I didn’t want to be spending my time on my phone so I prepared all my content and scheduled it to remove any stress and allow me to sleep more. Here’s my thoughts of buffer scheduling tool on ig, fb, twitter and LinkedIn.
I’ve hit over 15,000 listens. Please know when I created this podcast I expected maybe 50 listens maximum! For years and years I was told, “You talk too much” and, “Just shut up”. Please don’t let opinions of others stop you! If you got value to bring, then bring it! I show up everyday since June 2017 and therefore, have built up credibility for just an IT Consultant. If I can, you can!
The alarm that brings out the inner Titan in anyone. How is it even possible in this day and age to feel like you have the world to yourself? Welcome to the 1% my friend.
This is one way to break up with social media. Or reveal to yourself the levels you will go to get on social media. It’s extremely interesting to watch our own behavior. In order to change anything we must first be aware we are doing it.
As you could see the hustle was extremely real on the bank holiday weekend. I just realized how ahead of the game I am! How wonderful! Sometimes in life you feel so behind and beat yourself up. Then the world catches you with something I.e. for me it’s this today. I hope the world catches you as well! So you have forgotten your food shop... that’s it I’ll have to eat out? Wrong! Here’s how I manage it.
Okay so you have made it to the gym and you’ve got your first transformation in the bag. Now your motivation is lost, it’s no longer fun. Here’s your next steps. I know as I’ve done this for 5 years ha.
The hardest part is starting and actually going! Overcoming all those voices you hold in your head from others. So I’ll give you the tips I followed. It took me 6 years to get into a gym and another year to then go into the weights area.
Listen I don’t care if it’s holidays and there’s no gym. There’s still no excuses either! Honestly there’s nothing more beautiful than this!
Here’s are some basic eating tips that will minimize damage control. Very basic to implement & you can still enjoy yourself! As well as come back feeling refreshed and amazed in yourself for gaining 0 lbs! Remember you’ve probably had multipolar holidays gaining lots of lbs and feeling guilty. Let’s see what this feels like!
When you have slept 8 hours, but have you really slept 8 hours? Here’s my top tips on how I get quality sleep. The patterns I’ve learnt so far by tracking my sleep statistics for the last few months.
Every morning if you can’t be grateful then you will never be happy within the present. Here’s what I do daily to gather that.
What is a challenge? Well actually doing what will make you happy! Avoiding the night outs and actually keeping that money for whatever you want!
It truly is an art you know? To stop your mind going round and round on the same feelings. Here’s I tackle it. Remember life is 50/50 positive and negative so don’t beat yourself up for bad days either!
Especially on social media everyone walks around as if life is all unicorns and rainbow sipping martinis. We all know it isn’t the case. Don’t beat yourself up! Embrace the bad days as you’ll have many of them,
Another successful solo trip where I take a step back and play! Appreciate all my hard work and well become overwhelmed with how incredible my life really is. Everyone should create these moments in their life.
Recently this year I’ve started to delegate those tasks I hate. Such as YouTube Videos and holiday planning. I decided it wasn’t lazy and my happiness + time mattered more than money. What tasks would you delegate if you could?
For those of you which require a little more organization than the first podcast. This is it and it will help remove any stress. Aka get a check list and tick it off while packing. Do not keep it all in your head!
So what do I even pack for my holidays. Safe to say after getting ridiculously sunburnt I did well. Off episode tip bring tops that could hide sunburn from bikini tops and leggings... just Incase. If you want a laugh DM me on ig, Facebook or twitter and I’ll upload a sunburn update. 1.5 aftersun bottles later and still not much joy.
Okay let’s not pretend we haven’t got commitments. Sometimes we can’t just go away at the drop of a hat and we are stuck in the same locations for months at a time. Each weekly I do this activity to recharge me ready for the next week. Otherwise I’d feel trapped so taking some head space always helps. But when I do have time trust and believe I’m out of the country.
Listen I don’t believe oh I’m on holiday so I’m not going to show up. It’s a non negotiable in my eyes. Who am I to think my time is more valuable than anyone else’s! I’m seriously so grateful people show up daily to listen to my content! So I had to prepare 1 weeks worth of content beforehand! Trust me I’m seriously surprised at how much I do, but also, how easy it was to do by ploughing through! Going forward I will utilize this so I can appreciate my week days even more!
Yassssssss you will find me on the beach in the son my friends! A bit of encouragement for those of you who want to start traveling solo, but are holding back.
There are more ways to create motivation than just listening to motivational speeches. Time and time again I find this reserve piggy bank I didn’t even know existed and still show up daily no matter how I feel.
I’m sorry, but I love my life leading by example. I’m not saying anything to you which I wouldn’t say to myself!

Just because you drink all the coffee in the world to stay awake... you will still fail if you don’t drink enough water!
Since July I’ve been listening to The Life Coach School and it’s actually changed my life. Or in a way confirmed my thought process. Sometimes, because we don’t think the same as others we worry if there’s something wrong with us... well I did anyways. I recently went into hospital, but I just didn’t worry even with a bad diagnosis I held it together until I had my results. All my results was normal. But could you imagine if I listened I would’ve been so stressed waiting 3 weeks to find out.
If you want change you need to just put yourself out into the world. You need to burn to boats to take the mountain.

It’s so easy to get into the habit of ordering pizza and ice cream each night. Trust me I know ha. So I preplan my evening meals to avoid this. One day a week I’d have then a so called, “cheat meal”.

You have no choice.
Today I’m finally hitting the gym! I can’t explain how excited this makes me! I’m literally only walking & taking it easy on the cardio machines. BUT MENTALLY I’m over the moon and that’s all that matters!
It’s too easy especially being an IT Consultant I feel this more than most. Working longer and more hours does not more you’ll have the best results! You need to work smarter! Smarter means scheduling breaks, hacking your activities, finding efficiencies and then allocating your spare time to a new activity.
I’m certainly not about self diagnosing! But I’m also not about waiting around to be saved either. So here’s a couple of safe and recommended things I checked up.
Resting doesn’t mean doing anything mentally! I think sometimes rest is used as a term to give up. Even when I cannot train I will have structure in my life. My mental strength is a lot more important than my physical anyways!
Recently I’ve been in the hospital and how I’ve reacted to it I think is completely different from your average person. Is it because I’m stronger or more cold? Or it is because I’ve trained my mindset? I’ve learnt my thoughts become my actions. At 23 years old I nearly died and it was the best experience which changed my life for the better.
