A Personal note:
Some shirts you buy, others you earn…
I got this top as a momento while completing my Pilates Comprehensive Studio Certification. Polestar Pilates Education Australia (I chose top tier in my education, reason why will be another post) But at times I still felt like an imposter wearing it. Had I earnt it? I kept asking myself. My humble self, wasn’t so sure.
Fast forward…
At 48 almost 49 (shh) I seriously put my everything into this body and soul.
At times I thought why am I putting my 40+ body through this, not to mention perimenopausal brain through new learnings and retention almost as hard as getting that damn Tendon stretch and Rollover conquered in my body. (I got there) Yes I have videos of this (you may never see these or will you?)😉
I sacrificed my time with my family and friends (laid low) studying, teaching, observations. travelling, thousands of dollars spent, sitting exams and so much more.
Earlier this year, I competed my Diploma.
I had to brave and step out of my comfort zone hundreds of times during this but I got there because I had a dream to help others, fire in my belly and desire for more so I’d tried didn’t give up and did it!!!
So do you think at this stage I felt like I had earnt this shirt… not really.
That belief came after my studies. I can hand on heart feel like I’m am making a difference.
I have opened my studio and created a space, with intention I am building a community of beautiful humans connecting with their bodies and minds to improve their health both physical and mentally.
Clients have had tears in my studio of everyday life events, struggles and happy tears of accomplishments and all of which are supported and celebrated here. The thank you’s, hugs and feeling safe to share your journeys with me, this fills my heart to the brim.
So when I wear this shirt albeit it’s just a bloody shirt, but to me it’s a symbol of achievement and I am proud of myself, I can say I damn well earnt it. And everyday I will continue to show up and earn it.
Thank you to everyone on my journey these past few years and to my beautiful clients who also show up for themselves.
And thank you for staying for my lo
