It’s never too late to… do pretty much anything, if you ask me! 👀

Learn something new. Start again. Change your mind. Try something you’re absolutely rubbish at 😅🤪

I started learning to swim as an adult, took on my first marathon at 40, and I’m forever finding new things I want to try.

And here’s what I’ve learnt along the way: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it. You don’t have to turn every hobby into a goal. And you definitely don’t have to keep chasing bigger and better achievements for any of it to count.

Sometimes you can just do something because it makes you happy.

I think so many of us sit on the sidelines because we convince ourselves we’re too old, too unfit, too inexperienced or that we’ve somehow missed our chance.

But who decided there was an expiry date on trying new things?!

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin. And you’re allowed to change direction, take a break or start again as many times as you need.

There’s so much joy to be found in discovering what you’re capable of. And sometimes the best bit is simply having a go.

So TELL ME, what’s something you’d love to try, start again or finally say YES to?👇🏾don’t leave me hanging; I’m curious lol

Being a fitness professional doesn’t give you a free pass out of beginnerhood.

Swimming is where I get to be the one learning. Taking lessons, practising, getting feedback and trying to persuade my limbs to cooperate.

Our swimming teacher has decided we’re working towards a 100m medley. Which means butterfly is now part of the conversation… and I feel VERY far away from that 😂

But not so long ago, swimming 25m of front crawl felt like madness. And a tumble turn? Absolutely couldn’t picture myself doing one.

Now those are things I get to practise and improve, which makes me wonder what else might be possible with a bit more time.

So I’m trying to remember that when butterfly feels wildly ambitious. I’ve been here before.

Still loads to learn. But plenty to be proud of along the way.

POV: Me for the rest of 2026. 👀

A little bit of doing the things I love, a little bit of figuring things out as I go, and a whole lot of building something I really believe in.

One of my biggest goals right now is to bring together the first 50 women in a community where movement adds to our lives, not takes them over.

Women who love a challenge but also know when to rest. Who are curious about trying new things, starting again and seeing what they’re capable of.

And who don’t feel like they have to look a certain way, train a certain number of times or keep chasing bigger goals to belong.

We’ve already started with our little weekly “What’s Your Minimum?” check-ins, and I’ve got more ideas brewing for how we can support each other and make more things possible in 2027.

Because the more I learn, the more I believe that movement should open doors, not become another thing that makes us feel like we’re falling behind.

Anyway, that’s what I’m working on. Alongside the swimming, cycling, classes and whatever other hobbies I inevitably decide to collect. 😂

Does this sound like your kind of community? I’d love to know. 🤍

It’s my birthday… well, on Sunday 🎉 Not entirely sure how I’m at level 42 already, but there’s cake so let’s carry on. (think the number 4 candle is taking the news harder than I am 🫠)

I got this cake from @bloomandwild and it’s giving primary school cake (except this came with a couple cocktails as well 🤪🍸🥂). Just needs custard and me trying to persuade the dinner lady to give me the biggest slice. Why were they NEVER cut evenly?! And yes, I was always went back for seconds.
