I remember what that feeling was like. It scares us doesn't it? You wonder how you’re going to make it to 40, let alone 50. It feels like the world has played a cruel joke on you. Those thoughts always whirling around in your head, that tight, nervous feeling in your chest and tummy, they make you believe that you’re flawed. You believe that there is something inherently wrong with you.

But there isn’t

For so long, I saw food as the enemy—something to control, measure, and restrict. But food isn’t just fuel; it’s nourishment for both body and mind.

Instead of obsessing over calories, I started thinking about how food made me feel. What gave me energy? What helped my digestion? What supported my mood?

If you’ve spent years trying different diets, chasing a number on the scale, and feeling like nothing ever truly works, this post is for you.

Worrying about whether you’re thin, slim, attractive, worthy enough to go to your Christmas social event?

What’s finally changed for me over the past few years is that I don’t worry about starving myself to feel good enough and ready to have a good time. I no longer let a social occasion pass by or fill me with dread because I haven’t had time to diet. I also won’t let more valuable minutes of my life be consumed with feeling like I’m failing because I’m not a certain size or shape.

As you build your confidence and start stepping into your power, making things happen the way you want them to, this in itself will bring you success and happiness.

If you are struggling with low confidence, maybe only in certain areas of your life I want you to know that when you improve your confidence here, it’s going to make an immediate difference to how you feel and go after your goals. The success you want is well within your reach!

So many women are living at such a fast pace, carrying the burden of the majority of their family responsibility alongside their work. They need to be stronger and healthier to be able to perform at their best, and also to live the happy life they desire.

But, they tell themselves they aren’t worth taking care of, that this is their role, they have to just ride it out. They believe they matter the least in their very long list of things to do and take care of.

When you realise why you matter, why you are so very worth taking care of, you will have greater self-esteem, self-belief, and self-love. All of these things have such a big impact on your overall health and happiness.

When you feel happier you will help those around you to also live happier.
