Pull up your Positive Pants and embrace a brighter, happier mindset every day!” Spin your way to fitness with the fun, fast, fabulous Powerhoop®

Slim your waist - Flatten your tummy - Strengthen your back - Increase your core stability - Tone your glutes, hips and thighs!A stroke of genius -- and a “revolution” in fitness. Give a workout hoop a large diameter so it’s easy to use, add some weight to give it momentum and challenge the body’s core muscles, and create a wavy inner surface to build muscle strength. Cover it with high-density foam padding and suddenly you have something much better than a toy -- you have a Powerhoop. Powerhoop is a fitness tool that strengthens and slims your stomach, back, waist, hips, thighs and buttocks. It’s part of a group exercise class that is so much fun it keeps members coming back to the gym. And it’s a piece of home workout equipment that won’t gather dust.

“Full-circle” training for your core muscles.

“Core muscles” are the deep muscles and connective tissue that encircle the spine and provide structural support. According to Professor Stuart McGill at the Department of Spine Biomechanics, University of Waterloo, Canada, strengthening only one side of these muscles (for example, just the abs) will destabilize the spine by pulling it out of alignment. Therefore it is important to train all of the core muscles in the front, back and sides of your body.

I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm feeling it all. But I'm sooo called to share my story with you. With anyone who needs to hear my story. I believe every person who attends will leave with something. Perhaps healing, perhaps inspired, perhaps with a new perspective, perhaps with fresh motivation.

So I would love to see
you there. One week today. 🩷🩷🩷

Trust the Whisper ( it never fails you)

You don’t need a sign.
You don’t need proof.
You don’t need everyone to understand.

You just need to listen —

To that quiet, knowing voice inside you.
The one that doesn’t shout, but gently nudges.

“Don’t go there.”
“This feels off.”
“That person isn’t for you.”
“Say yes.”
“Walk away.”

Your intuition isn’t loud because it doesn’t argue.
It just knows.🩷

I’ve ignored it before — and paid the price.
But when I trust it?
Life flows. Pain is spared. Peace is closer.

We were born with this inner compass.
You don’t need to understand it to honor it.

Today, pause. Breathe. Ask.
And listen for the whisper.

You already know. 🩷

Something that helped me cure my depression was really so ridiculously simple. Remember this. Happiness is catchy. It can be likened to a virus.
But a virus you want to catch. 😀

One of the most powerful ways to feel better — especially on those hard days — is to get out of your own mind and focus on putting a smile on someone else’s face.

We are all connected. Truly.
And when you shift your focus outward, when you give without expecting anything back, something magical happens: you feel lighter too.

When I was in the pscych ward I remembered some of these tools and i would make little gifts or create little cards of appreciation for people. For even just a few minutes I stepped out of my own mind and focussed on someone else. It helped me a lot.

Lately, I’ve been handing out little Positive Pants stones to strangers — tiny tokens of kindness, hope, or just a smile.

The feeling is incredible. 🩷

It is these micro moments, moments of connection, when you see someone smile because you told them they hair looks lovely today, or as simple as you hold a door for them. Or you take time to ask a cashier how their day is going that really impacts you both. In a very beautiful way.

I never know who needs it, but I’ve found that every time I need a lift, giving one away helps me just as much as them.

Try it — a kind word, a flower, a compliment, or even a little silly stone.
It doesn’t have to be big. Just real.

Be the reason someone smiles today.

It might be the reason you do too. 💛

Try it today. 🩷 Let me know how you go.

A tool for getting out the dark hole.

Take your mask off. Rememer its ok to not be ok. It's ok to say you need help.

I know what the dark hole feels like.
Not metaphorically but literally.

Mine looked like stage 3 cancer.
It looked like a mental breakdown.

And yes — it looked like tears, silence, and pretending I was “fine.”

But here’s what helped me climb out:
Telling the truth.

The messy truth. The raw truth.
“I’m not coping.”
“I don’t want to get out of bed.”
“I need help.”

Each truth I told became a step.
And those steps became a ladder.
And now — I stand here, not perfect, but healing. And helping.

💖 For the next 24 hours, I am offering you the chance to bring a friend for FREE to my event Heal. Just DM me once you have purchased your ticket. I'll add your friend. Tickets only $10.

There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it.

Cancer broke my body.
A breakdown shattered my mind.
But something wild and beautiful happened in the dark —
I healed.

And now, I’m finally ready to share that journey with you.

HEAL isn’t just a talk.
It’s a space to breathe, cry, laugh, reflect… and maybe, begin again.
I’ll be sharing the real story — the raw moments, the tools that helped me rise, and how healing truly begins when we stop pretending we’re okay.

💫 Whether you’re struggling, rebuilding, or just ready for a soulful time of truth and hope — this is for YOU.

This is for the person holding it all together.
For the person who smiles on the outside but aches inside.
For the you that’s tired… but still here.
Come as you are. Leave lighter.

🎤 What to expect:
💛 Soul storytelling
🧘‍♀️ Healing tools you can take home
🪞 Mirror moments & reflection
💌 Raw honesty and real hope

I hope you can make it.

For a long time, I thought I had to hide it. I thought struggling after surviving made me ungrateful. But the truth is: surviving doesn’t mean you’re healed.

I’m sharing my story because I’m done with the shame.

I’m sharing because so many of you have messaged me quietly, saying:
“Me too.”

Your messages have moved me. They’ve reminded me that we are not alone, and our stories matter more than our silence ever will.

That’s why I’m speaking.
To talk about what happens after the battle.
To show that healing is messy, beautiful, and very human.
To help someone feel seen, understood, and a little less broken.

Come to my talk i would love to have you there with me.

Let’s have a real conversation about mental health, breakdowns, and rebuilding your life from rock bottom — one truth at a time.

Thank you for giving me the courage to keep going. I’m not stopping now. 🩷

Cancer has been a true gift for me. I know that might sound really strange but it's my truth. Don't get me wrong, it's been one of the hardest challenges and heaviest of beasts to carry at times. But I have found the pearls in the oyster and I feel so called to share them with you. I'm just being unapologetically me. The real me. 🩷

I would love to share something that isn't talked about enough, I feel.

What happens when you get sick even when you are doing all the right things?

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was running a wellbeing business.
Living what I taught.

Health was my priority — not a side thing, not an afterthought.
I ate well. I exercised. I meditated.
I had given up alcohol and smoking years ago.
I knew what it meant to look after myself.

And I shared that message boldly with my audience. It was and still is my passion.

So when I got cancer… a deep, quiet shame washed over me. Another unexpected emotion.

It wasn't just fear of the illness itself , but fear of being judged.
Fear of what others would think.
“How could someone who teaches wellness get cancer?”
“Does this make me a fraud?”

In fact a very dear friend who has since passed from cancer led a very healthy and holistic lifestyle and taught all things "healthy" to her audience. She once talked to me about her shame when she received a diagnosis too. I didn't fully "get it" back then, but boy oh boy do I get it now!

It triggered something big in me — especially when I heard people say things like:
“If you don’t prioritise your health, you’ll get sick.”

Because I did. I was. And I still got sick

Now don't get me wrong here, personally I never felt anyone judge me when I got sick, in fact quite the opposite I had a massive outpouring of nothing but love. I think the biggest judge in my scenario was myself. But I would read this kind of message everywhere on the internet by people in the wellbeing industry.

And I know others have been there too — either feeling judged, or carrying their own self-judgement.

What about the people who do all the “right things” and still get the diagnosis?

What about those who didn’t and now live with guilt and shame, wondering if it’s their fault?

Illness doesn’t always follow neat logic.
Life isn’t always fair.
You can treat your body like a temple… and still get sick.
You can neglect your body for years… and still heal.
There is no formula. There is no perfect control.

And while yes — we should care for our health,
We also need to stop shaming ourselves when illness comes knocking.

After my diagnosis, I didn’t spiral. I didn’t go back to the unhealthy habits of the past.
If anything, I leaned deeper into my wellness practices.
Not because I thought they would save me — but because they anchored me.
Because they gave me peace, presence, and power in the middle of chaos.

This post isn’t about giving up on health — it’s about letting go of judgement. Self and other.
It’s about compassion for the ones who are sick.
Compassion for those doing their best.
Compassion for the humans, being human — every messy, unpredictable step of the way.

If you’re navigating illness right now — with or without a “perfect” lifestyle —
Please know this:

It’s not your fault.
You are not broken.
You deserve care without shame.
And your story still matters.

Let’s create a world where health isn’t a weapon — but a hand extended in love 🩷

I would love to have you in a room with me to help you see a different perspective on life. To help you find more peace no matter what is going on. ❤️
