The school holidays are coming to an end.
And perhaps, if we’re being honest, you feel like you’ve dragged yourself through the last six weeks.
The routines have gone out the window.
Your time hasn’t really felt like your own.
And now you’re finally emerging out the other side thinking…
“Right. I need to get back to me.”
You’ve got a little more time.
You want to get back into a routine.
You want to feel healthier, stronger and more like yourself again.
But then comes the next question…
Where do I actually start?
Start going to workout classes?
Take up running?
Try Pilates?
Or do I work with a coach?
And if I do…
How on earth do I choose one?
Because let’s face it, there are A LOT of online coaches on here.
But rather than telling you how good I am, I’d rather show you what a handful of my former clients have actually said about working with me.
Because there’s one thing you’ll probably notice.
I’m not promising to get you to your goal as quickly as possible.
In fact, if you read through these messages, you’ll see that some of these journeys haven’t been particularly fast.
And I’m completely okay with that.
Because they’ve been sustainable.
They’ve learnt how to make healthier choices without needing to be perfect.
They’ve learnt how to navigate real life.
And most importantly, they’ve learnt how to maintain their results once they’ve achieved them.
Because what’s the point in getting to your goal as quickly as possible if you end up right back where you started six months later?
I’d rather help you get there in a way that teaches you how to stay there.
So the question isn’t really:
“How quickly can I get results?”
It’s:
“Do I want to make changes I can actually live with for the rest of my life?”
If the answer is yes, Thrive with Nicole might just be for you.
And you don’t have to take my word for it.
Have a read through what my clients have said about working with me. ❤️

The Things You Probably Won’t Know About Me From My Coaching Content 👀
Because yes, I talk about fat loss.
I talk about nutrition, training, habits, consistency and how to stop feeling like you’re “starting again” every Monday.
But there’s a lot more to me than that.
I’m obsessed with my 2-year-old little boy and will happily use absolutely any excuse to talk about him.
I’m also that person who genuinely loves exercise. Like, actually loves it. And one of my favourite things is helping other people get to a point where they enjoy moving their body too, instead of seeing the gym as punishment for what they ate.
I hate Slimming World and pretty much any diet wrapped up as a “lifestyle” when it doesn’t actually teach you how to eat properly for life.
I hate the idea that you need to rely on GLP-1s as a quick fix without ever addressing the habits and behaviours underneath the weight.
I’m very emotional. And no one expects that, it’s like I have this very composed exterior but once I start crying - I’m a tap and literally can’t stop.
I wear basically a variation of the same outfit every day because apparently making decisions about clothes is not something I’m interested in.
When you see me, there’s a very high chance I’m wearing workout clothes.
And I’ve probably already had 3 or 4 coffees.
I love trashy 90s romcoms.
And probably most importantly…
I don’t want to teach you how to be “good” at dieting.
I want to teach you how to lose weight without spending the rest of your life obsessing over food.
Because I genuinely believe you shouldn’t have to choose between making progress and having a life.
You should be able to go for dinner.
Have the holiday.
Eat the cake.
Enjoy the weekend.
Train because you enjoy feeling strong.
And still feel completely in control of your results.
That’s the kind of person I want in this community.
Not someone looking for another set of rules to follow.
Someone who wants to understand what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and how to make it work in real life.
So…
If you’re new here, tell me one thing about you that I probably wouldn’t know from your Instagram feed👇🏽

I’m just a bit burnt out at this stage.
And I used to LOVE content creation. I used to feel useful and like I was really helping people.
Now it just feels like I’m hitting my head against a brick wall.
So if you’re still out there and you enjoy my message, find my content useful and enjoy it.
Please hit like on this post and leave me a comment with the type of content you enjoy + find most useful.
I appreciate this account grew as a jump rope one, and bizarrely I have completely fallen out of love with jump rope.
Just the idea of a jump rope session makes me want to run a mile now (no pun intended)
And that’s so strange and also a little sad to me because it was a huge passion. But it’s so un enjoyable to me now.
You have different seasons in your life, and different seasons in your fitness journey. I just don’t think jump rope features in this season for me.
If you are here for the jump rope content, feel free to un follow (because there won’t be any jump rope content)
If you want to learn how to enjoy food, lose weight, get stronger and fitter as a woman over 35 and/or a mamma - this is what we’re about.
Please leave a comment with what you like to see 👇🏽

Ever find yourself thinking, “I’m addicted to sugar”?
I know I have 🙋🏽♀️
Because when that 3pm craving hits, it can feel like you have ZERO control.
But before you blame the chocolate, cookies or ice cream…
Look at what you ate earlier in the day.
Did you have breakfast?
Did it contain around 25–30g of protein?
Did you have lunch?
Did that meal also contain 25–30g of protein, plus a source of carbohydrates and fats?
Because if the answer is no, there’s a good chance the problem isn’t that you’re “addicted” to sugar.
You’re just not properly fuelled.
And of course you’re going to feel like 💩 at 3pm when you’ve barely eaten, your energy is crashing, and your body is screaming for something quick and easy.
I’ve been there.
You spend all day trying to be “good”, then suddenly you’re standing in the kitchen eating cookies straight from the packet wondering where your willpower went 😂
But what if you stopped fighting the sugar…
And started fixing the foundations?
Instead of banning chocolate.
Instead of promising yourself you’ll “be good” tomorrow.
Instead of trying to survive on salads and willpower.
Build balanced meals that actually keep you satisfied.
And yes, you can still have the ice cream.
You can still have chocolate.
You can still enjoy foods you love.
In fact, for many people, including these foods regularly can make it easier to stay within a calorie range because they’re no longer constantly trying to resist them until they eventually binge.
Sugar doesn’t need to be all or nothing.
Your nutrition doesn’t need to be either.
You need the right foundations, a bit of structure, and an approach you can actually stick to.
I’ve helped over 500 women do exactly that while dropping body fat.
Want to understand how my signature method works?
DM me BALANCE and I’ll send you the info.

I said what I said and I stand by it.
I do not understand why you’d play Russian roulette with your health. Using a medication that you have no idea what’s actually in it.
A prescription medication you’re buying off a bloke called Joe who’s selling it 241.
Some of these fake medications have contained pure insulin in levels which could literally kill you.
And for what? To drop a few kilos and feel better for yourself?
I’ve got news for you, the ‘skinny jab’ won’t save you. And might just do the opposite.
I completely understand how hard it is for so many people to lose weight, I get that we live in a society that makes you feel like you should be smaller.
I also get that you’ll feel more confident and better about yourself if you’re the size you want to be (within reason)
But please, don’t buy fake versions of these medications even if they seem legit.
I promise you it’s not worth it in the long run.
If you can afford a coach - invest in that instead. Those skills will serve you for life.
If you can’t, find a community of people who are making healthful changes. Drink 2L water a day, eat a portion of lean protein with each meal, eat veggies or fruit with all meals and go for a daily walk.
Small changes add up.
And I promise that will always beat ruining your health with fake medications.
