One of the best things anybody has ever said to me is, ‘People are going to talk about you anyway, so you might as well give them something to talk about.’ If I hadn’t been told that, I would not have been carefree enough to post everything I do here. But deeper than that, one of the biggest things I’ve realised is that when you’re holding yourself back because you’re worried what ‘people’ might say, the majority of the time, those ‘people’ are just one critical person in your life or your own inner critic. Most ‘people’ actually want to support you, and speak nice things about you when you’re not there. Either way, never shrink yourself out of fear of what others might think, If hating on you brings them joy, keep doing the silly little things that bring you joy 🫶🏻✨#peoplepleaser #selfconfidence
Me telling you all I have a hairy 🐯 like I own it, but if somebody was there and saw me in person, I’d have hopped, skipped and jumped in that lake faster than you can say kitty🥲 This morning, we got up early and went for a walk and a little dip, and it was my favourite morning ever 🥹 I can’t believe Enzo swam out to me😫 the boy usually runs a mile from the water. I felt like such a proud mum🫶🏻🫶🏻 In other more exciting news!!! @theglowupproject_ Happy Girl Walk & Talk morning has gone live🌟 If you’re based in or around Manchester and want to meet some amazing girlies with gorgeous energy & have a wholesome, positive morning, the link is in my stories 🌸 #wildswimming #manchester #mentalhealth
I was often told this by more well-spoken people, mainly guest dance teachers from the South. It’s not like I thought I was the most well-spoken kid. I grew up in Salford, and I spoke like I did. If it were a random person, I’d have told them to F off, but I carried those comments because they were people I looked up to in an industry I wanted to excel in at the time. They only started to impact me noticeably when I started this platform, and I began to spend more time in London. I’d be on panels and start to stutter or go completely blank. When we had the podcast, I’d never want to lead or say too much because I didn’t think what I had to say was important, even though I knew my mind was full of ideas people needed to hear. I have conversations and suddenly become aware of myself and how I might sound, stutter, and then feel embarrassed. Or talk quite fast to take up less of people’s time having to listen to me & usually saying things like ‘im stupid’ or ‘im just not very clever’. Honestly, my biggest mask in all of those situations was my appearance. I’d always try to wear great outfits or do my hair and makeup glam so that even if I blanked out or held terrible conversations, I could still be pretty. Sad, but it’s true. I don’t know if it’s with age or what, but it’s definitely something I’m getting better at, especially because I’ve faced my fears so often through holding my workshops and retreats. However, it can still eat me up in an environment I don’t feel entirely comfortable in. My goal is to use my voice more on here (which I’ve already started doing… a bit). I’ve had a project I’ve wanted to get going with for SO long, which would put my fear of using my voice on FULL display, but I know I need to do it. But yeah, we all have our insecurities, most of which nobody knows anything about. We can let them paralyse us and let the people who instilled them win, or we can feel those insecurities and do what we were going to do anyway. For the sake of our one, too short, precious life, please choose the latter.🫶🏻#insecurities
The side of health where you’re beasting yourself regardless of how you feel, weighing yourself often and letting the number determine your mood, counting calories and opting for the lower-calorie option regardless of whether it’s the most nutrient-dense option, and beating yourself up for eating food you enjoy isn’t healthy, even if it results in weight loss. Contrary to what we were told, the way you look and the amount you weigh can’t signify whether or not you are healthy mentally, physically, or spiritually. A healthy lifestyle includes having a community, enjoying food, feeling energised, having a social life, finding fulfilment in your day-to-day life, moving your body in the way you want, and resting when you’re tired. It also includes Focusing on more nutrients over fewer calories, taking your supplements, sleeping well, feeling loved and loving others, and doing what you can to reduce your overall stress. I’m so grateful that I realised that life was too short to let food, exercise, and an obsession with thinness consume me. Living a healthy lifestyle will always be a part of my life, but it isn’t my whole life, and it feels good this way. #fitness #health
Growing up is realising that your mum is just a girl navigating life for the first time too, but she gets far less grace because she’s a mum and mums are supposed to have it all together for their children. And I think- if you can- it’s important to spend time with and get to know your mum as an adult to learn more about her because, in turn, you learn more about yourself, too. Grateful for the past few days in Menorca, and having a mum who, like me, believes anything is a good excuse for a holiday 💃🏼🫶🏻#mumanddaughter #holiday #menorca

I don’t live a particularly aesthetic life, but I have a lovely one. One that, for the most part, feels so lovely that I almost always forget to capture the moments when I’m happiest with the people I love.

If you do this today, tomorrow, the next day and every day after that, It will change your mindset- I promise!✨🧠 Everything we have, can do or have access to is something to feel thankful for. There’s no reason why you or I should be able to meet our basic needs.. and some, yet if we’re not consciously choosing gratitude, we can act like it’s our right and a given for us to have a roof over our heads, a job, fresh air, hot water, clothes etc. etc. We view ‘luck’ as someone who wins the lottery or has something significant happen to them, but you can be lucky right now if you choose to be. Everything else is just excess. So, honestly, try it! And watch your mindset slowly start to uncover all of the reasons in your life to be thankful. 🫶🏻#positivemindset #luckygirl
