If you told me eight weeks ago I’d be dancing with fairies in the woods, volunteering first aid and bar shifts at a burn, making friends with DJs and meeting people I didn’t even know existed, I’d have told you you’re on crack. 😂🧚♀️
One minute you’re moving back in with your parents at 30, freshly separated, life in shambles. The next you’re 31, living by the beach, meeting wonderful people and finding yourself in places you never imagined.
Life is wild.
The biggest thing I’m learning? Life isn’t a box. You’re not stuck. You can change direction, question everything and build a life that actually feels like yours.
Which got me thinking about Move with Mel.
This business is built on health and fitness, but it’s always been about more than getting lean, building muscle or hitting macros.
Through grief and change, my gym routine has ebbed and flowed. But caring for my body, and the strength, confidence and self-respect I’ve built through movement, have been some of my biggest anchors.
And THAT is what I want for the people I coach.
I couldn’t give a fat fck if you ever reach 15% body fat.
I care that you take care of yourself. That you have your own back. That you set boundaries, take risks, make beautiful connections, leave situations that aren’t good for you and challenge expectations that were never yours to begin with.
I care that you feel confident in your skin, take ownership of your life and recognise you get ONE go at this.
And I care that you have some fcking FUN along the way.
I’m not here to turn anyone into a monk. I’m a festival girl. I’ll dance at the front of a DJ set until 3am, wake up and do it all again. Apparently that’s also how I hit my step target. 😂
Your health and fitness should ADD to your life, not become your entire life.
Move with Mel is a coaching space for humans figuring their s*t out. Humans who want to feel strong, capable and empowered to build a life aligned with who they actually are.
Training and nutrition are the tools. Self-empowerment is the bigger picture.
You have no idea what beautiful, weird, wonderful things might be waiting around the corner.
Zoom out. You’re not stuck. Your life is yours to create
