I believe in creating a lifestyle that balances all the complex areas of your life, not one that’s under the thumb of your diet and training.

For a long time, my ADHD felt like my superpower in business.

It helped me move fast, think creatively, problem solve under pressure, and wear every single hat when I needed to. The business grew because I could hold so much at once.

But nobody really talks about what happens when the business outgrows that survival mode.

The next stage of growth asks for systems, structure, delegation, and consistency. It asks you to stop being the centre of everything. And when your brain thrives on momentum, urgency, and instinct, that shift can feel incredibly difficult. Struggsville 😵‍💫

I have realised that a lot of what made me “good” at business was actually me overfunctioning. Keeping everything in my head. Picking things up faster than I could explain them. Filling every gap before anyone else noticed it existed.

So now I am learning a completely different skill.
Not how to work harder, but how to build support around the way my brain works.

And honestly, the guilt of not doing everything anymore has been one of the hardest parts. It literally haunts me on the daily, but I’m trying.

There’s something about being full term that I’ve not heard anyone really explain.

You’re still in your life, still running your business, still showing up as you always have… because nothing really feels ‘closer’ to the end.

You know you’re in the final stretch, but there is no specific timestamp you’re working toward .

All I do know is that this is the last few weeks of the version of me that has existed for the past decade.

And it’s strange because while everyone talks about what’s coming next, but there’s a quiet awareness of what’s ending too.

The pace.
The control.
The intensity of your life.
The certainty of your routine.

For so long, everything I’ve built has relied on my energy, my presence, my ability to push.

And now, I’m stepping into a chapter where that won’t always be possible.

There’s is so much fear in that. Pressure too, whether that be my own or reality.

Everything we’ve built at Lift Club has never been about me being the centre of it, it’s about creating something that lasts beyond me; my team, our community, the product we deliver.

And maybe that’s what this month represents.

More evolution, of my team, what we deliver and who Lift Club is, not who I am.

I muted almost everyone on Instagram recently.

Not out of spite or of ego, but because the last few months have required a level of focus I didn’t even know I had.

I’ve been working harder than ever, building, refining, thinking long-term, and I realised very quickly that I couldn’t operate at that level whilst constantly consuming everyone else’s noise.

As someone with high-functioning ADHD, I used to default to stimulation.

Scrolling, refreshing, taking in more than I was putting out.

And it was draining everything that actually mattered,
my output, my clarity, my standards.

So I changed it. The time I was wasting, was now my time back.

Now I open Instagram with intention.

Mostly to create, rarely to consume, and when I do scroll, it’s people who educate me, challenge me, or push me forward.

I make time for my loved ones, I ask my friends about their days, I keep in touch with the people who matter, it’s not personal.

It’s just a reflection of the environment I need to build the life and business I’m working towards.

Because the truth is, you don’t rise to the level of your goals… you fall to the level of your environment, standards and the things you consume.

And right now, I’m protecting mine at all costs, for me, my business and my baby.

“Pressure is a privilege”

The last couple of months at Lift Club have come with more responsibility, more decisions, and a higher standard to hold, both for myself and for my team.

I’ve spoken about how we have been refining a lot behind the scenes, raising the level of what we deliver, and being far more intentional about the direction we’re building in.

And that comes with pressure, a lot of it.

But it’s the kind that reminds me
this really matters.

That what we’re building is worth getting right, even if that means change.

And alongside that, stepping into a completely new chapter personally too, which I know will bring a different kind of pressure, in the best way.

So I’m not trying to avoid it, that’s never been me. Those of you who have seen the last 8 years of my journey will be saying ‘you don’t do things by halves’ right about now 😂

But I am learning to carry it better.

Because more often than not, the things that challenge you are the same things preparing you for what’s next, the things showing you that it doesn’t need to be perfect first time, and that just because it didn’t go to ‘plan’ doesn’t mean something better isn’t coming.

Happy Wednesday team ✨

It was my baby shower yesterday, and it made me realise something…

In the middle of pouring everything into my work, building, refining, pushing forward, I think I’ve almost forgotten to fully sit in the excitement of what’s actually happening.

This next chapter of my life.

Our baby girl.

This huge, life-changing shift.

For the last 10 years, my world has been my career. Every decision, every ounce of energy, every version of me has been shaped around building something, growing something, striving for more.

And I absolutely don’t regret that for a second, but, I’m realising that stepping into motherhood isn’t something you can treat like a project to optimise or a goal to achieve.

It’s something you have to feel and finding that balance, between continuing to build the business I care so deeply about, and allowing myself to actually experience this moment, hasn’t come naturally to me.

It’s been uncomfortable, very unfamiliar and at times, a lot harder than I expected.

But yesterday felt like a pause and my god did I need it.

A reminder to soften slightly, to let myself be excited, to step into this next chapter not just as a workhorse but as a mum.

I am still building, more driven than ever but learning, slowly, to hold space for both 🤍

There’s a lot of noise in the fitness industry about what you should be doing.

More classes/members/features/facilities.

Over the last few months, I’ve found myself stepping away from that, intentionally.

Not because it doesn’t “work” as such, but because it’s not how I want to build Lift Club nor is it what I believe in.

This has been about getting clearer on what we as a team believe in, raising the standard and being more intentional with every single thing we do.

Always evolving 🙏🏼

Sometimes nothing is “wrong” but you just know it’s not where it could be.

I’ve never been one to settle for “good enough” and that was something I just couldn’t shake at the start of the year.

Since then, it’s been a lot of honest conversations, making changes and raising the standard across the business and within myself.

Really proud of the team.
Really proud of what we’re building.

And very excited for where this goes next 🚀

Lately, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about family, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this at this stage of pregnancy.

But specifically I’ve been thinking about as founders why we do what we do. The early mornings, the pressure, the constant building behind the scenes, the being misunderstood. Not our ‘business’ why, but our ‘home’ why.

And while I’m in it, pushing, growing, building something I truly believe in, my perspective has shifted toward my ‘home’ why.

Because when everything is stripped back this is what actually matters.

It’s family.
It’s who and what you get to come home to.
It’s who stands beside you while you build something, or holds you up when you don’t feel strong.
It’s the life you’re quietly creating in between the work.

This season of my life has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect, and not just my belly, ha. Not in a way I’ll ever fully explain, but enough to make me see things differently.

I’m all in on the business, working harder than ever to build something that lasts, something that gives, not just for me, but for everyone we work with.

But now I know exactly why I’m doing it.

Little reminder to my founder friends, don’t forget in all the madness that comes with the all consuming pursuit of your work, that when all is said and done… family is more than everything, it’s actually all we have 🤍

Down in London for a day with GON. What a day!

But if I’m honest, putting yourself in those environments can feel reaaaaally uncomfortable at first.

Being in rooms where you’re not the most experienced (by a Yorkshire country mile), surrounded by people who think bigger, move differently, and see things you don’t yet can feel a bit exposing, and by a bit I mean a lot ha.

But (!!!) I’m starting to realise that’s exactly why it matters.

Being the least experienced in the room, being challenged, and being around people who’ve already done what you’re trying to do opens your eyes in a way nothing else really can.

The last few months have been tough, properly tough.

And one of the biggest shifts for me has been learning how to lead with clarity, not just how I feel in the moment.

To make decisions based on what’s right long term,
not just what feels comfortable right now.

To hold a standard, even when it would be far easier to soften it.

That hasn’t come naturally to me as a natural softy!

But I’m realising that’s part of stepping into a different level,
personally and in business.

Because what you learn in these moments you don’t get taught, but only get it by being in it.

And I think that’s where the real growth happens, the growth that you get to keep, compound and carry throughout life.

Lift Club didn’t just become what it is today…

It’s been built through evolution, since day 1, figuring out what actually works, and being totally willing to change when something didn’t.

There were moments where things looked like they were moving forward but behind the scenes, I knew something wasn’t quite right.

That’s the part people don’t always see….

The thinking, the pressure, and then the decisions to rebuild, not just make tweaks.

Because when I built Lift Club, it was never about having a bigger space or doing what every other gym does.

It was about creating something that really, truly supports people.

Something that gives them structure.
Individuality.
Direction.
And a reason to just keep showing up.

So we rebuilt it.

The model, the experience, the standard.

And what you see now is the result of that, and we are constantly evolving, enhancing and keeping our standards high.
