OUR JOURNEY PART 6

For those who have been around home and seen the pink ball sitting in a fruit bowl on the edge of the bench since September last year - this is why!
It has been my sanity, my fun, my hope, and now my little girl Ella! Being played with every time I felt nervous or doubtful in pregnancy from day one to the night I was in labour.
This ball not only was a huge help to me, but to Todd and our family also - everybody talked about the pink ball, played with the pink ball and overall included it in our day to day lives.
As we made it into the 2nd trimester, and started talking about the finer details of bubs, it became a family joke of ‘I bet you’re having a girl because you have a pink ball’ - we didn’t want to find out the s*x during the pregnancy as it gave us an extra little something to look forward to with the birth. Deep down, I trusted the process and believed I wouldn’t have said pink for no reason and sure enough!
Saturday 19th June 2021, our baby GIRL was born.

This pink ball was our little Ella from day 1 - she was with us inside and out, we included her with everything, kids came round and played with her before they even realised!
Helping me through the early phases of labour when we were still at home and being in my thoughts the whole way through birth.
Grateful isn’t a strong enough word, but I don’t know anything more to boost it - the journey I have been on to date has been phenomenal and I am so beyond blessed to have the support of great friends and family to get us to where we are and beyond.
you are one incredible lady who I just can’t thank enough for helping me change my mindstate to support my family along this journey.

This story isn’t here for sympathy or attention, it is here to help.! The more we talk and share stories the easier these things are to cope with.!
For anybody who needs it - I AM HERE FOR YOU 💕🥰

OUR JOURNEY PART 5

This was the beginning of our next step of the journey, excitement, overwhelmed - all of the feels. The biggest feel… this was when I would have been due with our angel babe. There was a reason it had taken months to succeed - angel babe wanted to deliver the goods!
The thoughts started trickling in on ‘what happened last time’. Here is where I needed those tools… within a couple of weeks of finding out we were pregnant again, I was on the phone to . The tools I already had were helping but I knew I needed these elevated.
Simple questions asked by Kate -
‘How do you feel towards this pregnancy?’
My response - SO FREAKING EXCITED. I had a real fire in my belly about this one, something I hadn’t felt before!
Kate’s response - ‘Awesome! What does it look like?’
My response - ‘A bouncy ball of excitement, I can see myself jumping around playing with a bouncy ball’. In the back of my mind thinking, ‘OK you loony tune! You’re going crazy again like your did last time with Kate’s mind state session’.
Kate’s response - ‘What colour is the ball?’
My response - ‘Pink’ - There was not one part of my brain that could manipulate any of these answers, Kate had taken me to a place where these answers were coming from so deep within that I couldn’t control them!.
Kate’s final response - ‘Every time you have a thought come in where you start to doubt yourself or anything to do with this pregnancy, visualise that pink bouncy ball and how much fun you’re having playing with it’.

‘F**K the visual, I need the real thing’
Within the next hour, I was at the warehouse on the hunt for this pink ball - walking straight into the ball department and finding a pink one sitting there staring at me, not only just pink but it had the BIGGEST smiley face on it - IT WAS MEANT TO BE!

OUR JOURNEY PART 4

Starting the thought process of trying again with this adventure, I knew what worked for me and what tools I could use to help me through this process. Nothing is easy, there are good days and bad - there will be with everything we do in life.
We spent a decent few months hoping for the best and not achieving it, so started the self chat and sabotage of thinking it was all my body's fault. The chats with went a long way, having somebody so removed but yet so involved who just knew exactly how my brain worked! The support of mind state along with nutrition - knowing it was actually ok that I wanted to eat chocolate when I usually wouldn’t!
Training was my saviour during this time, it was the one thing that made me feel myself and give thanks to my body - as usual has the most epic support through programming and again as with Kate, so removed yet so heavily involved in my journey. It was like having an additional 2 sisters on top of my already amazing sister Jemma!

5 months later, this started to consume way too much of my mental state - I passed comment to Todd that ‘I’m not doing this anymore, I just can’t keep going month to month, my brain needs a rest from worrying if we are going to be pregnant month in month out’. His response - just do a test this month and let’s see how things pan out. They say the men seem to know you're pregnant before you even do… he knew alright!

OUR JOURNEY PART 3

The feels which I had no idea what I felt, grief. The feels of watching friends have babies the same month I was due. The feels of hearing of friends announce their pregnancies. There was challenges, but there was so much love!
The love and support Todd and I had for each other was amazing, something so tough that made us so much stronger! Family support was amazing, something I’m so lucky to have. Knowing I was doing just fine, just needing to learn my body to understand where things are at and what was happening - something I felt I had only just grasped prior to finding out about our pregnancy.
Catch ups with Kate lead to the conversation of ‘you will know when you’re ready and at that point let’s do some mind state work’ - I was totally ready. Todd and I took 2 weeks to travel the South Island in a camper and I felt a million dollars - the trip couldn’t have been better timed! Shortly after returning, thinking to myself, Kate won’t find anything, i’m doing amazing, we continued to lock in some time for mind-state. At this point, I’m already so grateful for the experience as I had already learnt so much and couldn’t be more thankful for everything in my life.

The journey took me through left me absolutely speechless! I honestly don’t think I can get it into words. Allowing me to feel safe and trusting that whatever happened was right for me - I came out of the session, seeing, holding and hearing our angel baby ‘thank me’ for being their mummy - something I NEVER expected, yet it allowed me to process the grief I had no idea I was holding onto. From there, I had to go and explain to Todd without him thinking I had lost the plot - I had him in tears with the story within a few minutes, how incredible to go through a journey and portray it through to him (the tough guy who doesn’t believe in any form of spiritual world) to help him through his version of the same journey!

From here, I really started emphasising the tools I have learnt in my years of what works for me - meditation, exercise, yoga, journals - the list just kept growing, and with tools I used to laugh at years ago - and still do, but WOW do they work!

OUR JOURNEY PART 2

After catching up with my midwife (holding my s**t together for 1 minute then loosing my s**t for 21 minutes!), it seemed I had a few options. At this stage it was quite clear they were classifying this as a ‘missed miscarriage’ - something I had never heard of before! Basically the body needs to miscarry but it hasn’t physically done so as of yet. What next…? Sit and wait (for how long nobody knows!), hospital visit to find out my options on getting medical support to help the process along.
Everything felt like such a blur - I still had pregnancy symptoms whilst I was in the process of figuring out what next. Within a few days I was called into the Early Pregnancy Clinic at North Shore Hospital - taking mum along because you know ‘I’ll be fine and get the info for us’ … Scans, bloods, consults - What ended up being a 5 hour adventure, I learnt my options and chose the medication, trusting that my body just needed a little bit of help to get things moving. Next minute I had the medication in my hand and I was having to take it then and there (this part is another story for another day). Getting home that evening to only start experiencing the miscarriage itself. The emptiness, the loss, the grief, but also the gratefulness of knowing nature has done what it needed to and all for the right reasons - even if I can’t see it right now!

Naturally, i’m not one to let much get in my way, so using the weekend to lay low and let my body have the time it needs, back into usual Monday routine with clients. Training was on the back burner, I knew exactly what my body needed at this point and that was food, rest and love!
Slowly getting back into the swing of things and re-introducing walking and training as and when I knew my body was up for it, it was slow but moving was the most incredible feeling. Once again had my back supporting me in such an incredible way for me to feel safe with my training. on the other side of me, helping me get my nutrition back into alignment to keep nourishing my body!

OUR JOURNEY PART 1

I have been torn in how/if I should post this… the more I thought about it, the more I experienced it, the more I need to get my story out there hoping it will help even just one human!

December 2019 I found out I was pregnant - we were ecstatic! They always say ‘it never happens fast’ - lesson 1 - there is no rule book and no right or wrong… this happened fast!
I needed to keep my sanity from all these different feels - that was where training came in - had been doing my programming and continued to alter things to keep my sanity, knowing i’m not here to be no athlete - she nailed it and allowed me to move and not have to think about it!
Followed closely alongside was helping me through the ‘I don’t feel like eating normal food’ mentality - giving me lots of different tools to help me still get some decent nutrients in… and yes, I can’t listen to my own nutrition & training advice (coaches need coaches too!).

At around 6 weeks, we told our parents, something that was a no brainer for me. My family is everything so no matter what, I knew they were there to support me!
Week 8 came around in the new year and we headed off to our first scan. ‘It seems your only 6 weeks, are you sure of your dates?’
We left feeling a little deflated as I was quite sure of my dates, but obviously very open to knowing the body is capable of anything! The mindset changing on the daily, getting myself in a rut of having absolutely no control of the situation. Blood tests, another scan and we got the news ‘i’m sorry but this is not an ongoing pregnancy’. At this stage, I should have been 10 weeks. I walked out of the scan with a brave face saying ‘everything happens for a reason - it’s totally ok’ - the ladies couldn’t quite believe my response I don’t think! What they didn’t see was me walk outside and bawl my eyes out on the phone to hubby as I walked down the road trying to find Mum whom I had sent shopping as ‘I was good to go on my own mum, its fine’! Deep down, I totally knew it was ok, however grief is a real thing and I didn’t have a clue how connected I was already with something that I was going to loose!

‘No longer the baby from June 2021’

06/10/2020

I’M JUST LIKE YOU 🥰
Fun Fact #2: I started my journey at 96kg!

At 19 years old, life looked like - pizza, late nights, alcohol and a busy social life, all whilst living at home and working in an ice cream cafe! This lifestyle lead me to my largest at 96kg.

🙋‍♀️I had reached a point where weight loss and being healthier became a priority.
Signing up to a challenge was a great motivation to achieve this… within 12 weeks I was down almost 15kgs and feeling amazing!

🙌With the support of my family (which I didn’t realise I was utilising so much at the time), meal time was made easy!

🔑A change of career came, and moving out of home for the first time - I found myself slipping back into old habits, watching a few kg’s come and go.

🏃My normal training habits changed to prioritising running half marathons, and doing less of the lifting weights.. loving this style but now putting me at a weight almost 30kgs less than I started at. Something I then realised wasn’t sustainable long term!

💁‍♀️It was at this point I needed to find a happy medium, an overall gentle focus and way to maintain a healthy nutrition and lifestyle state that I was comfortable with and could sustain.

🙏This leads me to the last 5 years of my life, maintaining a healthy place for my body and mind!
After finding what worked for me I now regularly ask myself the question, is today a day where I can stick to fuelling my body with the best foods.
Or is this a special occasion where I really want to enjoy that something different?

💕The word gentle comes in … I’m gentle on myself and my old habits creeping in, and on those days, I remember how far I’ve come and how my journey is still on track!

I will always be moving forward, knowing the next meal is always a new opportunity, where I can continue to maintain my happy medium.
I squat, I run, I can lift heavy weights, I rest and I’m happy with my body. More importantly I’m healthy, have balance and take care of my wellness… so that on those gentle days, I don’t fall off the wagon.

Everybody’s journey starts somewhere and I’m thankful for learning throughout mine 🥰
