Hello Reader,

Happy Friday to you, dearest angel face!

It was my birthday last week! Woohoo! And I always seem to do a bit of reflection around my birthday. I wrote a whole post about it here if you're curious if I kept my promises to myself in the last year to do just a little bit better.

And as we're a quarter of the way through 2025, I thought maybe you'd like to reflect a bit too.

"Modern man thinks he loses something - time - when he does not do things quickly. Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains, except kill it." Erich Fromm

Well said, Erich.

Are you guilty of this? Hurrying up to wait until the next time you can hurry some more...

Well, time is one thing that we can't make any more of; nothing like that for sale on the TikTok shop.

Like no shit Rach, I know I'm not saying anything particularly groundbreaking.

But the thing that is probably stopping you from making progress toward feeling more confident in your body, or eating well, or being more motivated, or being consistent, is waiting for the perfect week.

The perfect week isn't coming.

How long has it been since you told yourself, "Well, once this* is over, it'll slow down and I'll have more time"?

Learning to take clumsy, imperfect steps in between living your life is the secret to success. Your perfectionistic brain will SCREAM at you, at first. But even that gets better.

Teeny, tiny, little imperfect steps are the "secret" sauce you've been looking for.

What is something you can do today that moves you closer to where you want to be?

What's a clumsy, little, imperfect step that by this time next year will change your trajectory completely?

I know you have one, we all do 😉

Speak soon,

xx

Hello Reader, Happy Friday, my sweet. I should probably be less honest, but SCREW IT. SO I'm in Canada for five whole lucious weeks. I'm extremely fortunate to be here. I love that I can work while I'm here and spend time enjoying the outdoors, as well as seeing my friends and family. You know what they say, a change is as good as a rest. And as much as we want everything to be perfect all the time, contrast provides clarity. Changing my routine and environment has provided clarity about how...

Hello Reader, I hope you are having a spectacular Friday. Marvelous, wonderous, everything and more! A very (unusually) quick one from me. We cannot control the beauty standards. We can't control how the media picks women's bodies apart limb from limb. Too tall, too small, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, trying too hard, not trying hard enough. And it is maddening. I'm not here as a societal messaging apologist... It is deranged...You're right. But. And it's a big but. We can't stop...

Hello Reader, Happiest of Fridays, mes cherubs! I hope you have a spectacular weekend lined up. Let's talk about sweat, baby, let's talk about you and me. Unless you're not sweaty, we can discuss my sweat instead if you'd like... An accurate representation of me writing this email It is hotter than hell at the moment. As a species, you can't argue that we're really quite good at warming planets up; you can't take away our trophy for that little title. The UK, Canada, the US, and many other...
