Hello Lovelies!,

January is finally over! The days are getting longer, and spring is on its way.

As promised, I’m bringing back the monthly check-ins. So, get yourself a cup of tea, find a comfortable spot, and let’s take a look back at the ups, downs, and everything in between.

January Wins

January brought a few victories, big and small. Firstly, I finally set up my blog website, which I have wanted to do for some time. I also spent time tweaking my business website. Plus, I wrote a few blog posts – a small step for the internet but a big step for my to-do list.

On the physical front, I got myself back to my morning walks, which I love! I also managed to squeeze in a couple of strength training sessions. And can we talk about hydration? I swapped out some cans of Coke Zero for bottles of water and dialled back on alcohol. A healthier me is emerging, and it feels pretty bloody good.

Amidst it all, a surprise landed in my inbox – a message from someone saying they love my newsletter. These unexpected gestures keep me motivated and remind me why I started this journey.

Oh, and a little revelation: I’m taking a different approach when it comes to writing blog posts for my business and have decided to be unapologetically myself. No more masks, just being myself. You can read more about it here.
