5 months post lipedema surgery. ♡

This surgery changed my life in so many ways.

Yes, I’m insanely happy with the aesthetic results. I would be lying if I said that part doesn’t matter to me.

But this has been about so much more than how my legs look.

It gave me parts of my life back.

I’m dancing again. Pain free.
I can walk without thinking about my legs.
I can do trails again.
I can strength train without pain.

And dancing is probably the most emotional one for me.

Dance used to be such a huge part of my life and such a big source of joy. Slowly, without me even fully realising it, the pain in my legs started taking that away from me too.

So seeing myself 5 months later, in a dance class, moving freely and actually enjoying my body again… means more to me than any before and after picture ever could.

I had always been active, trained, eaten well and taken care of myself, yet somehow my legs and arms just wouldn’t respond the way the rest of my body did. And eventually, the pain in my legs became unbearable.

Since surgery, I’ve continued doing what I can to support my body: strength training around twice a week, 1–2 cardio sessions, eating as anti-inflammatory as possible for me, keeping my carbs low to moderate, eating low histamine, taking care of my lymphatic system, meditating daily… and now, finally, dancing again.

Following Marina’s .babe food strategy alongside having the surgery has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a very long time.

And I will forever be grateful to the Lipemedical team, with a very special mention to my surgeon, Dr. Acosta, who is not only an incredible surgeon but made me feel completely safe from the very first second.

The aesthetic change is beautiful.

But getting my life back?

That’s the part I’ll never be able to put a price on. ♡

Chronic pain has taken a lot from me, but weirdly, it has also given me some of the most important lessons of my life.

When your energy is limited, you become very intentional with where you spend it.

With your body.
With your time.
With your work.
With people.

I’ve learned to listen to myself more, protect my peace, have stronger boundaries, and stop doing things just because I feel like I “should.”

That has changed so many parts of my life.

I barely drink anymore because I simply don’t enjoy how it makes my body feel. Some people find that weird. I’m okay with that.

I’ve become much more protective of my time too. I work hard and I care deeply about what I’m building, but I’ve also had to learn that my health cannot always come last just because there is more work to do.

I speak up when I’m uncomfortable. I say when something doesn’t feel right for me. I say no more often. And I’ve realised that some people struggle with this version of me because they were used to a version that was much more likely to just go along with things.

Sometimes people get uncomfortable when you start standing up for yourself and setting boundaries.

Their discomfort is not my responsibility.

I don’t have to make myself uncomfortable just to make someone else more comfortable.

And none of this means I became cold.

I still have a huge heart. If you’re my friend, my family or my partner, I will probably love you harder than you’ve ever experienced. I will show up, support you, celebrate you and care deeply.

I just learned that loving other people doesn’t require abandoning myself.

My body matters.
My peace matters.
My work matters.
My time matters.
My boundaries matter.

And yes, I can clearly see that this version of me feels different to some people.

That’s okay.

I’m much more drawn to people who make life feel lighter. People who inspire me, make me think, support my growth, make me laugh and feel safe enough to completely be myself.

I also care much less about being liked by everyone.

Pain changed my priorities.

And although I would never choose it, I really like the woman I became because of everything it forced me to learn. ♡

Yesterday was such a good reminder of why I hate the phrase “we all have the same 24 hours.”

I had plans. Clean the house, organise my clothes, get everything done, then go to the lake and enjoy probably one of the last sunny days in Zurich.

Instead, my pelvic pain suddenly became so intense that I had to stop everything, put my legs up the wall and wait for my body to calm down.

And no, this isn't a pity post. ♡

If anything, I think living with unpredictable symptoms has made me a better coach.

Because I will absolutely encourage you to train, move, challenge yourself and keep showing up for yourself. I don't believe we should stop living because our bodies make things harder.

But I also understand that sometimes your best-laid plans genuinely have to change.

We all have 24 hours.

But some people are raising children. Some are doing it alone. Some are caring for someone else. Some are dealing with chronic illness, pain, fatigue or bodies that simply aren't predictable.

So I don't want to be the coach who tells you that if you “wanted it badly enough” you'd always find a way.

I want to be the coach who helps you find the middle way and I'm pretty good at it! ♡

Girlies, strength training does NOT automatically make you bulky. 😭

Strength training gives your body the stimulus to build muscle.

But actually building a noticeable amount of muscle takes time, progressive overload, enough protein and enough FOOD to support it.

And no, you don’t necessarily need to be in a calorie surplus to gain muscle. Beginners, people coming back after a break, or people who have lost muscle can often build muscle while maintaining their weight or even losing some fat.

But becoming VERY muscular by accident?

That is really not how it works. 😂

Muscle is hard-earned.

You’re not going to pick up a dumbbell and wake up as Hulk.

So please… lift the weights. ♡

Meanwhile, I lost weight, my upper-body muscles apparently packed their bags and left, and today I’ll be training extra hard because I want them BACK. 😂

Today I went to the doctor, and one thing he said stayed with me:

"We are all going to die one day. Some people simply go through life with more pain than others."

It sounds harsh, but it made me think.

He mentioned that some of the things I deal with are chronic. I can manage them, work on them and hopefully improve a lot, but I also have to accept that they may always be part of my life in some way.

So now I’m trying to figure out something else:

How do you live with chronic illness without letting it become your identity?

And especially, how do you navigate it with the people closest to you?

I don’t want to hide how I feel or say I’m fine when I’m not.

But I also don’t want every conversation to be about my symptoms.

I don’t want chronic illness to take up more space in my relationships than it needs to.

Some days I feel amazing. Some days I don’t. Both are true.

I’m still the same person in both.

So I’m genuinely curious how other people with chronic illness find that balance.

How much do you share, and how much do you simply carry quietly? ♡

I somehow always feel like I never have my whole life under control.

There are 3 things: my business, my home and myself.

And I swear I can manage one really well. Sometimes even two. But all three at the same time? Never 😂

Right now, my business is BOOMING. I'm so incredibly grateful and excited about everything that's happening. And somehow, I have it under control.

But then... look at me... My house is a mess. I oiled my hair with every intention of washing it and then apparently decided that was a problem for another day.

Sometimes the house and business are doing great, but I'm a mess. Sometimes I'm taking care of myself and my home, but work feels overwhelming.

And sometimes I genuinely wonder... is this just adulthood? Are we all secretly rotating which part of our lives has its s**t together?

And this actually connects to one of my biggest fears that I don't talk about very often.

I really want to be a mom one day.

But I'm also terrified of it.

Because I already find it so hard to keep everything going while being self-employed and running my business completely on my own. And then I think about adding a whole tiny human who needs me every single day and I'm like...

HOW DO MOMS DO THIS?! 😭

Do you ever actually feel like you have everything under control? Or are we all just choosing which fire to put out first?

I genuinely want to hear from you. How do you do it? Are you okay?! ♡

Please share your thoughts because I really want to know if I'm alone in feeling like this.

I’m entering a new chapter of my business, and apparently that also means learning something I’ve always been terrible at: boundaries 😅

I never want to stop being the understanding, flexible and empathetic coach that I am.

But I’m learning that protecting my health, my breaks and my time doesn’t make me any less of those things.

Actually, it might be exactly what allows me to keep doing this for many more years. ♡

New studio. Same me. Just with slightly better boundaries. 😅 ♡
