  1. She’s on the comeback 😏 Bump free, but truly humbled. 11 months since doing a burpee, and I feel more core and back muscles then I ever have in my life. How many knee grabs did you count? 🤭 But I’ll take as many of them as I need, each week will be better and know.. slowly and surely I’m coming back. Also, this tune 💯♥️✨ thanks @emma.alcock — i stole it off your playlist. #shesacoolgenz #stronger #bodycombat #lesmills #groupfitness #noshame #postpartum #pregnancy #martialarts #punchykicky #grateful #health #fitness #fitnessmotivation #mumlife #womenhealth #womenempowerment #instructor #comeback

  1. Swipe to see who and what got me through todays race 🤭 SUPER DUPER thankful for all the support and encouragement + also for all the generous donations to @mhfnz, absolute superheroes. (You can absolutely still donate if you’re able, link in bio xxx) Our wellbeing is so important, especially our mental wellbeing and supporting the foundation that supports kiwis when they’re at their lowest means everything. Literally changes people’s lives. Saves lives even. Incredibly thankful for the work mental health workers do, real life angels. This run was for you 🤍

  3. Anyone that has known me the last few years will know I cannot hold a conversation without mentioning something about the brain or nervous system. So I have now signed away the next decade of my life to becoming a qualified brain nerd 🤓🧠🥼 To become a neuroscientist is the goal (research not surgery) and I’m hoping to bring you along on this journey of learning, as much as possible, because I want everyone I know to benefit from the gold nuggets of knowledge out there. Feels weird going to uni a little later than most people, but it’s perfect for me coz I’m passionate and determined ! (and a lot less likely to party my grades away 😉) But for those of you who’ve had a dream you’ve put off for any reason, reconsider it. Or maybe you haven’t allowed yourself to dream big enough? You’re not too old, or under qualified, and anyone worth being in your life will only encourage and support you. (Obviously so long as it doesn’t involve serious crimes or hurting people 🤪) life’s just too short to not go after what you want with your whole heart ❣️

  3. King shit! 💯✊🏼 2024-2025 The man’s 35kg transformation since deciding to play the hard game and now winning all too easy! Cut done, holiday well spent, gain game on! 😤 The blessing behind the job of being a coach is getting the opportunity to witness long term transformations like this. You get to look back at where someone started, what they carry, and what they had to go through along the way. The mental and physical growth achieved is always crazy and an experience/reward I was very ignorant to when jumping into the coaching gig. Thanks for choosing me to coach you through yours brother! A fuckin animal compared to the kid walking into the goal last year. On to the next! 💯🤝🏼

  1. TBH this is advice I would give anyone … 1.Start by asking for work experience because most place won’t just give you a job 2. Do the shit jobs like sweeping, doing the rubbish etc without being asked 3. Show up earlier than when you technically start…no one likes you being late 4.Listen and learn from what the seniors say.. especially when they’re teaching 5. Get stuck in….nails ain’t gonna be your friend What other advice would you give #womanintrades #mechanic #tradies #nz #bluecollar

  2. No Bull s**t around here cause the trades don’t have time for that! 1. Work doesn’t care if your on your period, it just needs to be done 2. You have to look out for yourself, because not everyone will 3. Don’t match the boys out work them! 4. Expect to fail just be ready to get back up 5. Get strong so you don’t have to rely on others to do things for you ! #womanintrades #hardtruths #tradeswoman #mechanic #apprentice #tradielife #bluecollar

  1. It has been quite the journey to get to this point. An emotional roller coaster to say the least. After losing two babies last year I thought I needed a break but it turns out the universe had other plans for me. My handsome little dude is becoming a big brother in September and our hearts couldn’t be happier. I cannot wait to hold you my little 👶🏼 #mumtobe

  2. Six weeks ago I started back on my journey to becoming the strongest both physically and mentally that I could possibly be. It wasn’t about being as lean as I used to be nor was it about “bouncing back” I just wanted to feel capable again. I’ve always been a huge advocate for physical strength empowering people to feel mentally strong and I honestly have never felt stronger. I don’t left as heavy as I once did but my mental resilience to show up every damn day and push my limits is beyond anything I’ve ever felt before. If I can pass on any advice it would be that it’s not about low calorie intakes or restriction it’s about building sustainable habits and showing up for yourselves even on days when you really don’t feel like it. “Our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do” #wednesdaywisdom
