Today Emma and Laura sit down to hear Sarah’s story. It's one many women will relate to. Years of dieting, no real relationship with exercise, cared to walk into a gym and a fear of failing or not belonging.
In this honest conversation, Sarah shares how she moved through the discomfort and why training and looking after herself is now simply part of her life.
We talk about:
• dieting for years, constantly feeling restricted and how to overcome this
• never exercising and believing the gym “wasn’t for her”
• the fear of joining a gym class and not being able to keep up, how strength & bloom changed this for her
• how showing up anyway changed her confidence and self-belief
• finding balance with nutrition without rules, guilt or extremes
• staying consistent with training and food while travelling
• past experiences of being offered diet pills and how her mindset around health has completely shifted
This episode is for any woman who’s tired of dieting, feels intimidated by the gym, or thinks consistency means perfection. Sarah’s story shows that confidence, strength and balance are built through practice.
