🍌🍞“What would Angela do?”

I laughed when I heard this at karate yesterday, but it highlights an important psychological construct:
Self-Efficacy.

If you have ever wondered why some people seem to navigate health challenges with ease while others feel stuck, the answer is often found here.

Self-efficacy is the belief in your ability to perform the actions required to reach a goal. It is your “situation-specific” confidence. High self-efficacy means you do not just “want” to be healthy; you believe you have the actual tools to handle a busy work week or a social dinner without “starting over on Monday.”

According to Albert Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory, there are four ways we build this belief. If 1:1 coaching is not accessible right now, focusing on these “pillars” is the best thing you can do for your journey:

✨ Mastery Experiences (“I have done it”):
This is the most powerful source. It is about finding and creating personal experiences of success. Every time you navigate a “food emergency” or finish a workout when you are tired, reflect on how you made it possible. Through this, you are building a track record of success.

✨ Vicarious Experience (“I have seen it”):
This is where the “What would ____ do?” comes in. By observing a role model, you “borrow” their strategies. If they can find flexibility in a messy life, you realize that you can too.

✨ Verbal Persuasion (“I have been told”):
This is the encouragement from a trusted coach or mentor. Having a rational and encouraging voice in your ear that tells you that you are capable helps boost your confidence.

✨ Physiological & Emotional States (“I feel it”):
How you interpret your body’s signals matters. Viewing nerves as excitement increases efficacy, while viewing them as fear lowers it. Learning to interpret these signals effectively helps you stay in the driver’s seat.

Self-efficacy is something you can build through these pillars. If your current “wellness” circle makes you feel guilty or incapable, it is time to find a new role model.

Who is the rational and encouraging voice you turn to when things do not go as planned?

Ran my first ever 10k race this Mother’s Day weekend to support kids with cancer and serious illness through !

It was my second race ever. I was anxious and excited before the race. It was a chilly but beautiful sunny day for the race. It was incredible to run with so many people and feeling the race day energy.

I had so much fun running down the iconic Yonge street and seeing many familiar sights. Seeing my family cheering for me near the finish line was definitely my highlight.

Now I can’t wait to sign up for another road race! My girls have decided to start training with me as well so that we can make this 10k race an annual event for us. Feeling very grateful to have the privilege to train and run like this ❤️

Most body image advice on this app is just another rigid standard to fail at. You are told to “love every inch,” but that is not always humanly possible, and it is definitely not the goal.

Having a positive body image is to have the skill of noticing a “bad body thought” or feeling “blah” in your skin, and choosing to treat yourself with respect anyway. It is moving your appearance from being the entirety of your identity to just being one part of it.

When your looks are no longer the foundation of your worth, your appearance can finally become a form of self-expression — something you navigate on your own terms, rather than a problem you are constantly trying to fix or an external standard you are trying to conform to.

This shift gives you back the mental real estate to actually live your life. “Having a positive body image” does not have a final destination. It is a lifelong practice of reclaiming your agency as your body continually changes across your lifespan.

Take a moment to examine what you currently believe about “positive body image.” Is that belief actually helping you live your life, or is it just another standard you are failing at?

April was full of music, running, and bread 🍞

Lots of outdoor running in this damp, chilly, and windy spring weather as I get closer and closer to my 10k race date 😱

The girls completed their level 2 and 4 RCM piano exam and received Honours with Distinction grades 🥰 We celebrated the completion of their exam and their hard exam prep with yummy Korean food and bubble tea 🧋

The kids had a blast with the annual Easter scavenger hunts I prepared for each one of them. This has been one of our favourite traditions and I love how much they love this 🥹🥹

My little guy participated in his first sparring tournament and got second place 🥈. He has been loving sparring (unlike the rest of us 😆) and it’s been wonderful to see his progress!

Lots of baking this month! I have not been making yeasted bread for a while but started baking them again this month. We do love how soft and fluffy Asian style sandwich breads (like Japanese shokupan) are. I also experimented with using soy milk and oil instead of milk and butter to decrease saturated fat intake to support my heart health and the bread is still so good! All the baking has been instrumental for my running fueling too 🤣

The health and fitness industry misses the fact that being “fit” and “healthy” is actually a collection of skills.

They want you to believe you need more plans or more programs, but what you actually need is time and support to practice and bridge your skills gap.

If you feel like you are “failing,” you probably just have a skill gap, not a character flaw. And skills can be learned. 🥰🥰🥰

The health industry is loud, but it is also incredibly narrow.

On one side, you have the “protein at all costs” fitness crowd.

On the other, you have the “purity or bust” wellness gurus.

Both sides miss the reality of how complex “healthy eating” can be: Managing performance, health goals, busy life, budget, balancing work and family life...

I do not pick a side because I do not have to.

And neither do you.

Eating is a collection of skills, rather than a list of rules and ingredients. Feeding yourself healthfully and faithfully is a competency you can build, regardless of your schedule or your family’s favourite meal.

Stop trying to find the “perfect” plan. Start building the skills that actually last.

Reason #17,401 why you should sign up for coaching:

Health is not a destination you reach with a 30-day “reset.” It is a set of skills you build through intentional practice.

The screenshots in this carousel are not just happy accidents. They are the evidence of what happens when you decide to play the long game. Over the last 6 to 12 months, these clients have moved past the “all or nothing” cycle by:

✨Leaning into the discomfort of breaking old habits.

✨Being introspective about their relationship with food and their bodies.

✨Choosing growth over the false promise of a quick fix.

✨Breaking generational cycles of diet culture for themselves and their families.

Transformation is a practice, not a project. It requires time, effort, and a willingness to sit with the messy parts of change. But on the other side of that discomfort is a life where food and health finally feel “normal.”

If you are ready to stop starting over and begin the deep work that leads to lasting change, I would love to be your partner in that process.

Behaviour change lessons from learning the clarinet. 🎼

Most of us treat our health like a moral test or a one-time decision. But watching myself re-learn an instrument after 30 years has been a perfect reminder that many health changes we are trying to make are actually a collection of skills that require proper assessment of our starting point, gentle and collaborative guidance that supports our autonomy, and a mix of both short and long term goals to keep the momentum going.

Diet culture is a scary space monster. Eating competence is the path home. 🚀🕷️

If navigating your relationship with food feels like an exhausting, impossible quest, remember:

Evolution is beautiful, yes? ✨ (Growth is the goal.)

You observe, question? 🧐 (No judgment, just curiosity and data.)

Fist my bump! 👊 (Celebrating the competence and resilience.)

If you “want want want” to work on eating competence but don’t know where to start, my EC Audit is the perfect first step. Check the link in my bio to get started! 🚀
