08/05/2026

Stress is something I don’t just speak about professionally as a Health Coach, it’s something I’ve had to understand personally through different stages of my own life.

Recently, I was invited by Felicia Jones to take part in an interview exploring stress management, resilience, and wellbeing from both a professional and deeply personal perspective.

In the interview, I answer five thoughtful questions about stress, daily habits, emotional wellbeing, and what true resilience can look like in real life, not just in theory.

What makes this conversation especially personal for me is that I also opened up about my experience with Trichotillomania during my younger years and how that journey shaped my understanding of stress, self-awareness, emotional health, and healing.

There’s a lot of honesty in this interview.
Not polished perfection, just real experiences, lessons learned, and practical insights that I hope may help others who are navigating stress, overwhelm, anxiety, or simply trying to create a healthier relationship with themselves.

Some of the topics we touch on include:

* recognising the hidden signs of stress
* building resilience through small daily habits
* emotional wellbeing and self-awareness
* moving beyond “just coping”
* and how personal struggles can become part of personal growth

If any of these topics resonate with you, I’d love for you to read the full interview. Link in my BIO

I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and reflections after reading it.

Hope you enjoy xx

It’s Sitting Break Time… and today we’re building strength, power, and stronger bones 💪

Grab two cans 🥫🥫 and try this:

Squat → optional jump → overhead press

Simple movement. Big impact.

Why this works:
• Strengthens glutes, legs, shoulders, and core
• Improves balance, coordination, and power
• Raises your heart rate naturally
• Supports bone health through load and impact
• Helps you feel stronger in everyday life

🧠 Fun fact:
Bones are living tissue — they get stronger when we challenge them with load, impact, and muscle pull.

And for women 35+, this becomes even more important as hormonal changes can accelerate muscle and bone loss.

This isn’t just a “quick break”… it’s how we build a stronger, more resilient body over time. 🌿

✨ If you’ve been searching for desk exercises, quick strength workouts, posture fixes, or simple ways to feel stronger without spending hours in the gym, this is your new go-to.

Ready to go beyond 2-minute breaks and build real strength?

DM me to see my offer- coaching spaces are limited.

⚠️ Notes:
• The jump is optional — stay grounded if that feels better
• If you have high blood pressure, keep it low-impact, use light weights, and breathe throughout (exhale as you press)
• Move within a comfortable range and use support if needed

💬 Comment “POWER” if you’re trying this one.

🇮
È ora di fare una pausa... e oggi ci concentriamo su forza, potenza e ossa più forti 💪

Prendi due lattine e prova questo:

Squat → salto (facoltativo) → distensioni sopra la testa

Movimento semplice. Grande impatto.

Perché funziona:

• Rinforza glutei, gambe, spalle e addominali

• Migliora equilibrio, coordinazione e potenza

• Aumenta la frequenza cardiaca in modo naturale

• Supporta la salute delle ossa attraverso il carico e l'impatto

• Ti aiuta a sentirti più forte nella vita di tutti i giorni

🧠 Curiosità:

Le ossa sono tessuto vivente: diventano più forti quando le mettiamo alla prova con carico, impatto e trazione muscolare.

E per le donne dai 35 anni in su, questo diventa ancora più importante, poiché i cambiamenti ormonali possono accelerare la perdita di massa muscolare e ossea.

Questa non è solo una "breve pausa"... !!

I came across this book a while ago when I visited my local second-hand bookshop, and as I already knew Dr. Chatterjee, I felt drawn to it.🧐

As a Health Coach, I support people who are trying to build new habits, and I’m always looking for simple, realistic ways to help them actually get started with their health. Feel Better in 5 by offers some really practical tools for exactly that.

I know it was written 7 years ago, so many people may already be familiar with what’s inside, but I still think it can provide a helpful structure and gentle guidance if you’re feeling lost or unsure where to begin.🤷‍♀️

What makes this book stand out is how practical it is. It’s built around the idea that real change doesn’t need hours of your time just 5 minutes a day.

And that’s backed by behavioural science, showing that small, consistent habits are far more likely to stick than all-or-nothing plans.

The book is structured around three key pillars: MIND, BODY and HEART.

From simple strength workouts and quick yoga flows, to breathing exercises, gratitude, and connection, everything is broken down into small, manageable actions you can actually fit into your day.

What I really like is how it removes that “where do I even start?” feeling.

If you’ve ever tried to overhaul your lifestyle and given up after a few weeks, this approach can make so much more sense: start small, build consistency, and let that momentum grow.🌱

Honestly, it’s a great entry point for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure how to begin.

Sometimes it really is about those first 5️⃣ minutes.

As I always say to the people I work with, when it comes to behaviour change, one question we can ask ourselves is:
"Can I allow myself to explore and be curious, to try something without expectations, and simply stick with it for a while and see how it goes?"

Not much to show just some progress that for me is huge in building my confidence.

It took me 6 months to start to actually remember the patterns and get that brain muscle coordination.

Of course loads to refine and adjustments to be made but getting the pattern almost right is a huge step forward for me.

In this video is me practicing the City Blues a classic dancing pattern that represents the basics of dancing.

So much to think of in those small movements of the legs and feet. Where to look, where to point your toes, where to put your upper body, your arms, your shoulders and finally remember to smile and so on and on.

I'm getting there and I'm loving it! ♥️

Our hormones don’t just “randomly fluctuate”:
they respond to our overall energy availability.

Our cycle is controlled by our brain → hypothalamus + pituitary → sending signals to our ovaries to regulate oestrogen and progesterone.

And here’s what most of us don’t hear enough:

When the body is consistently under-fuelled (from food intake that’s too low for our needs), the brain can perceive this as low energy availability.

And when that happens, reproductive signalling can become less efficient.

It’s not just about calories.

It’s about consistent, adequate energy intake over time.

Long gaps without food = unstable blood sugar = added physiological stress on the system!

For many women 35+, especially experiencing energy dips, cravings, cycle changes or irregularity… stability matters more than restriction.

And carbs aren’t the enemy here.

They’re simply one of the body’s key energy sources.

Instead of cutting them too low, the focus is often better placed on choosing slower-releasing carbohydrates that support steadier energy — rather than constant spikes and crashes.

Think: fuel your body, don’t fight it.

Because balance and consistency will always beat extremes.

If this makes sense to you, save this post for the days you feel out of balance and share it with another woman who needs support xx

🇮🇹
I nostri ormoni non "fluttuano in modo casuale", ma rispondono alla disponibilità energetica complessiva del nostro corpo.

Il ciclo mestruale è controllato dal cervello → ipotalamo + ipofisi → che inviano segnali alle ovaie per regolare estrogeni e progesterone.

Ed ecco cosa la maggior parte delle donne non sente abbastanza spesso:

Quando il corpo non riceve costantemente abbastanza energia (a causa di un apporto alimentare insufficiente rispetto al fabbisogno), il cervello può percepirlo come una scarsa disponibilità energetica.

E quando ciò accade, la segnalazione riproduttiva può diventare meno efficiente.

Non si tratta solo di calorie.

Si tratta di un apporto energetico adeguato e costante nel tempo.

A lot of people rely on endless cardio for fat loss, but on its own, it’s not the most efficient strategy, especially in midlife.

Cardio does burn calories in the moment, but the effect stops when you stop moving.

Over time, the body also adapts, meaning you often need more and more cardio to get the same results.

Strength training works differently 🏋️‍♀️

It builds and preserves lean muscle mass, which increases your resting metabolic rate, so you burn more energy all day, even at rest.
It also improves insulin sensitivity, helping your body manage blood sugar more effectively, which is especially important during perimenopause.📉

More muscle = a more metabolically active body.

That’s why resistance training is such a powerful tool for long-term fat loss, strength, and health. 💪

If you'd like to learn how to train in a way that actually supports your body in midlife, come and train with me.

I offer 121 and small group female-only sessions in a private, supportive gym environment.

Send me a message with STRONG and I'll give you the details.

Molte persone si affidano a un'attività cardio incessante per perdere peso, ma da sola non è la strategia più efficace, soprattutto in età matura.

Il cardio brucia calorie nell'immediato, ma l'effetto si interrompe quando ci si ferma. Col tempo, inoltre, il corpo si adatta, il che significa che spesso è necessario fare sempre più cardio per ottenere gli stessi risultati.

L'allenamento con i pesi funziona in modo diverso.

Sviluppa e preserva la massa muscolare magra, aumentando il metabolismo basale, in modo da bruciare più energia durante tutto il giorno, anche a riposo.

Migliora anche la sensibilità all'insulina, aiutando il corpo a gestire la glicemia in modo più efficace, aspetto particolarmente importante durante la premenopausa.

Più muscoli = un corpo metabolicamente più attivo. Ecco perché l'allenamento con i pesi è uno strumento così efficace per la perdita di peso, la forza e la salute a lungo termine. 💪
Se desideri imparare ad allenarti in modo da supportare davvero il tuo corpo in età matura, vieni ad allenarti con me. Offro sessioni individuali e per piccoli gruppi.

This month was a bit different.

We took a book with us 📖

And we enjoyed the reading immerse in nature.

We also walked quite a lot.

A glimpse of calmness in the chaos of life.

And I found this verse from John Muir that describes it all:

"Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods"

Do you really need to cut carbs to balance your blood sugar?

This is one of the most common questions I hear—
especially from women in their late 30s and 40s.

Carbs have become the “problem”…
but in reality, it’s often a misunderstanding.

Carbohydrates fuel almost everything you do.
They’re also the main source of energy for your brain.

So when you’re busy, working, thinking, managing life —
your body actually needs them.

The key isn’t removing carbs.
It’s understanding:

• the type of carbs you’re eating
• how they affect your blood sugar
• and how to build meals that support your energy

Because when your blood sugar is more balanced,
everything feels easier: energy, cravings, even weight.

And this becomes even more important in perimenopause,
when your body responds differently than it used to.

If you want simple, realistic support (without cutting out your favourite foods) 💛
DM me “CARBS” and I’ll help you find what works for your body x

È davvero necessario eliminare i carboidrati per bilanciare la glicemia?

Questa è una delle domande più frequenti che mi vengono poste,
soprattutto dalle donne tra i 30 e i 40 anni.

I carboidrati sono diventati il "problema"...
ma in realtà, spesso si tratta di un malinteso.

I carboidrati forniscono energia a quasi tutte le nostre attività.

Sono anche la principale fonte di energia per il cervello.

Quindi, quando siamo impegnate, lavoriamo, pensiamo, gestiamo la vita,
il nostro corpo ne ha effettivamente bisogno.

La chiave non è eliminare i carboidrati.

È capire:

• il tipo di carboidrati che consumiamo
• come influenzano la glicemia
• e come creare pasti che forniscano l'energia necessaria

Perché quando la glicemia è più bilanciata,
tutto sembra più facile: energia, voglie, persino il peso.

E questo diventa ancora più importante in premenopausa,
quando il corpo reagisce in modo diverso rispetto a prima.

Se desideri un supporto semplice e realistico (senza rinunciare ai tuoi cibi preferiti) 💛
scrivimi in privato “CARBOIDRATI” e ti aiuterò a trovare ciò che funziona per il tuo corpo ☺️
