Back in My Lane
Last week’s post wasn’t about training or nutrition. That was intentional.
It was me stepping briefly outside my usual work to be clear about where I stand.
Not to debate or persuade. Just to say something instead of saying nothing.
This week, I’m back in my lane. And my lane has always been about helping people build bodies that feel strong, capable & reliable, without burning themselves into the ground in the process.
Because one of the patterns I see over and over again is this:
| Women trying harder when what they actually need is direction.
Trying harder feels responsible
But it’s rarely the answer. Most women I work with are already doing a lot - training consistently, thinking about food choices & they make genuine effort most days. So when progress stalls, the instinct is to push toward more cardio, less food, stricter rules & fewer allowances for life.
It feels productive because it’s uncomfortable. But discomfort isn’t the same thing as effectiveness.
Doing better usually looks quieter
Real progress tends to come from less, not more. Think less noise, fewer rules & clearer priorities.
A plan that still works when sleep is average, stress is high, or motivation is low.
That means:
eating enough to support training
training in a way that can be repeated week after week
adjusting instead of restarting
letting consistency do the heavy lifting
I know it isn’t dramatic or flashy, but dang..It is effective!
Why this matters
Your ‘stall’ isn’t because you aren’t disciplined enough it’s because you’re applying a tonne of effort in the wrong direction.
And effort in the wrong direction just leads to exhaustion.
My job, the work I care about - is helping women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.
To build systems that survive real life.
To get results they don’t have to constantly defend or maintain under pressure.
So yes, I am back in my lane.
Protein, training, recovery, mindset.
The quiet work that compounds.
And so that’s where I’ll stay (for the moment at least).
