It’s crazy isn’t it- the mind. It’s also very powerful.

It’s a conscious effort atm for me to intentionally add positive and encouraging thoughts into my mind over and over again. More than ever. Esp as my training ramps up and sessions are longer and longer.

I know I’ve done the distances before but each session is hard work. And it doesn’t get easier as you keep aiming for new goals.

But what we tell ourselves- we believe. And our thoughts matter.

So if you needed to hear this today- let me know. Hopefully I’m not the only one with a monkey mind trying to trip me up.

We’ve got this 🙌🏻💪

Girls- today you turned 7 and 3 ✨✨

I still can’t believe you were born on the same day. It’s so special.

You are magic. Brave, funny, smart, kind, curious, joyful - the list is endless.

Thank you for all that you have given us and teach us. You really are magnificent.

Keep being you. Keep shining bright. And know that you are loved beyond measure.

We love you with all of our hearts.

Show up messy, show up late but just keep showing up ✨

This mornings home session wasn’t perfect- it was far from it. It wasn’t calm, focused or my best session either. But I showed up 💪

I moved my body, I picked up some heavy weights, I stilled my mind and I know my girls notice all of this ❤️

The house was loud, I workout in a corner of the house big enough for my mat and weights around toys and all, the girls run into join me (which I love) then back out again, the cat needed feeding, the computer needing charging (couldn’t find the lead obvs) all of the things within the 30minutes I roll the mat out - but amongst the chaos it felt good.

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It can be short, bitty, messy, stop and start- but just keep showing up mamas. Press play on the online workout, yoga class, Pilates session whatever it is. You will feel better for it.

Thanks for the live online workout - it was fab 🙌🏻

I took this picture tonight after my 6 year old daughter asked for a ‘date night with mummy’ . We love to do this and she always wants to get dressed up.

I’m so glad that she did. I felt lovely in this outfit.

But I’d be lieing if I said that I’m 100% confident and connected to body atm. In fact since having my children nearly 7 years ago- I feel so different.

And it’s really confusing because on one hand- I’m so incredibly proud, inspired and empowered by what my body has achieved and been through in pregnancy, childbirth and feeding my children too.

I also feel so proud of my fitness journey and achievements that I have both before and after having my children.

And still, I can look in the mirror and feel lost. Not recognising the lady looking back at me. Not quite feeling connected to the body that is now mine- aches and pain, curves, lumps and bumps, scares and all.

This isn’t a post to ask for comments of praise or beauty- but one to acknowledge that it’s never black and white- all or nothing. That we can feel both sets of emotions.

That maybe- the acceptance of how our bodies have changed and celerbration of all that is has enabled you to experience is where we meet in the middle to find more connection again.

More peace and compassion for ourselves.

So here I am. Taking small steps each day to be able to smile back at my reflection. To truly feel connected with my body again.

To not feel so lost or embarrassed by its size, wobble, inflexibility and lack of strength.

To truly recognise the women staring back at me and smile whilst I whisper- I’m home ❤️🙏

If you can relate keep loving yourself until you feel connected again ❤️

Be it some time to rest, abit of skin care, some exercise, yoga, eating well- keep loving yourself. Keep showing up for yourself.

I am figuring this out with you.

Sending love.

Kel 🙏

This feels like a full circle moment ✨

Five months ago I sat in my friends living room tired, nervous and so excited to record this podcast episode. It was a big moment for me.

I look upto and feel so grateful for for many reasons. The biggest one being that after hearing her speak with about Matrescence- for the first time since becoming a mother I felt seen, supported and understood.

My shoulders relaxed, I took a deep exhale and cried. As the tears rolled down my face I knew that I needed to hear more.

I bought her book (I can highly recommend it ladies- I will link in my stories and highlights) , signed up to her coaching course and decided to become an accredited Matrescence coach in the hope that my words could too help someone feel this way one day.

I loved this conversation. I got to share my story, the work that I do to support mothers both here abd and have a moment in time with the lady who shaped the Women and Mother I am today ✨

If you would like to listen or watch this episode I will link it in my stories and highlights. And as always, I would love to know what you think ❤️

Let me know in the comments or DM me.

Enjoy ✨

Sending love.

Kelly 🙏
