Own You Coaching

To Mr & Mrs Longridge 🩵✨

I turned 27 yesterday 🤍

Looking over the last year a lot has changed (other than my hair) and some lessons have been learned

I’ve been shown once again that life can change quickly. Plans shift, people change, things happen that you never saw coming. And adapting to change is the only way to keep moving. Change is the only constant in life so it might as well be embraced

It taught me that grief and appreciation go hand in hand. You can be heartbroken and still thankful. You can be struggling and still have good things around you. Both can co exist.

Its showed me that being strong doesn’t always look like pushing harder. Sometimes it looks like resting, taking space, asking for help, or admitting you’re not okay.

I’ve always know that business was more than just about numbers. Showing up when confidence was low, backing myself when things felt quiet, and continuing to build even when nobody sees the work behind it is where I’ve grown most.

I care deeply about helping girls feel better in themselves. Stronger, more confident, less stuck, less apologetic for taking up space. That part of me only got louder this year and I’ve become a whole different person over the last year - I owe therapy some credit for that too tbf

Your inner circle matters. Good people matter. Conversations, support, laughs, shared energy, all of it matters more than I used to realise.

It taught me that I don’t need to have everything figured out to be doing okay. I just need to keep being honest with myself and keep taking the next step. ( you will preach this one 😂)

It taught me that I’m still becoming her. The girl that younger me dreamed of being and I get one step closer every day.

Here’s to chapter 27 🤍

Rach’s Hen Weekend 🩷🤍

At some point you need to stop starting over

Not next Monday
Not next month
Not when life calms down

Because let’s be honest it never really does

You don’t need a better plan
You don’t need more motivation

You need to stop disappearing every time your circumstances aren’t perfect

Breaks the cycle

On it, life happens, off it, feel bad, start again.

It’s keeping you stuck

Want to actually change things?

Keep going when you’re tired
When you’re busy
When you can’t be bothered

Not perfectly. Not at 100% 24/7. Just consistently.

If you’re done with the constant stop/start maybe it’s time you got yourself some accountability to be more x

I’ve been a bit quieter lately

Not because I don’t care but because I’ve not felt 100% myself

And I know I’m not the only one that goes through phases like that

Where everything just feels a bit harder
Doing your best but it doesn’t feel like enough
Your routine slips and your head gets noisy again

That’s usually when people disappear and that used to be what I did

I’d wait until I felt better
More motivated
More like me again

But what I’ve learned and what I remind my clients of all the time is you don’t need to feel your best to keep going

You just need something that supports you when you’re not

That’s the difference between starting again and actually moving forward

If you’ve been a bit off it lately, I get it

You don’t need to have it all together to take the next step

Just put one foot infront of the other and ask for help before you actually need it

Truthfully?

Some days I feel completely on top of things.
Clear. Focused. Driven.

Other days I’m figuring it out as I go.

Building a business.
Coaching women.
Trying to grow personally.
Trying to stay present for those around me.
Trying to be better than I was last year.

And lately, I’ve realised something.

You can be capable and still feel uncertain.
You can be strong and still need support.
You can be ambitious and still have moments where you question yourself and everything around you.

It doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It’s pushing the boundary of your comfort zone.

OWN YOU was never built from perfection.
It was built from me learning the hard way how to stop quitting on myself.

And that’s how I coach now.

No extremes.
No all-or-nothing.
No fake motivation.

Just setting yourself standards.
And having someone in your corner when your own head gets loud.

If you’ve been watching quietly…
If something in my posts keeps resonating…

Maybe it’s time to put yourself first.

So if you’re ready to stop sitting on the sidelines.

This is me right now.

Slow morning.
Coffee in hand.
Music on.
Phone on do not disturb.

I had a wee gap in my diary and instead of filling it… I kept it.

I could’ve trained.
Could’ve jumped on the treadmill.
Could’ve “used the time better.”

I did go a 30 minute walk outside. Moved my body a little and got fresh air.

But the rest of it?
I sat in my car. Listened to chilled music. Cleared my head.

And that’s so okay.

Not every spare second has to be productive.
Not every break needs to be earned.
Not every quiet moment needs filled.

Sometimes the most beneficial thing you can do for your progress (whether that’s in the gym or in life) is regulate your nervous system and breathe.

It’s just balance.

Training hard when it’s time to train.
Switching off when you need to switch off.
But knowing the difference in when it’s needed and when it’s do more harm than good.

If you’re constantly feeling behind, guilty for resting, or like you should always be “doing more”… maybe what you actually need is this.

A slow coffee.
A clear head.
A minute to be you for you and no one else.

It’s your life. You only get one. Own it. Live it how you want, on your terms 😉

Here’s a truth I don’t think most people talk about enough

Your environment matters.
The people you surround yourself with matter.
Who you lean on when things get hard matters.

You don’t build confidence, resilience, or consistency in isolation.
You build it through the people around you.

The ones who:
• Support you without judging
• Challenge you instead of letting you stay stuck
• Remind you who you are when you forget
• Hold you to a standard, not just your comfort zone

That applies to life and it applies to fitness.

And it’s for those reasons I also have a coach.
Not because I don’t know what I’m doing.
Not because I need someone to “fix” me.

But because I’m human.

I still need perspective.
I still need accountability.
I still need someone outside my own head.

The strongest people I know aren’t the ones trying to do everything alone.
They’re the ones who’ve intentionally built the right support system around them.

And that’s exactly the kind of women I work with.

Women who don’t want quick fixes.
Women who value growth over comfort.
Women who are ready to stop winging life and start feeling properly supported.

You don’t need to do this on your own.
You never did.

And if you’ve been craving that kind of environment where you’re backed, challenged, and actually understood that’s exactly what OWN YOU is 🩵

“I’ll start on Monday.”

Well… Monday’s here.
And you’ve snoozed your alarm until the last second.
And I bet another excuse has already popped up 👀

“I don’t feel like training today.”
“I’m too tired.”
“I’ll start again tomorrow.”
“I slept in.”

If any of that crossed your mind this morning, you’re not alone.
I’ve said every single one of them before too.

But here’s the thing I learned (the hard way):

There’s a difference between needing rest
and talking yourself out of doing the basics.

Some Mondays won’t feel motivating.
Some sessions won’t feel strong or impressive.
Some days you’ll have to drag yourself through the first 10 minutes.

And that’s not a failure that’s just real fu***ng life.

Progress isn’t built on perfect weeks or high-energy days.
It’s built on showing up when it would be easier not to.

You don’t need a perfect workout.
You don’t need the right mood.
You don’t need to feel “ready.”

You just need to stop letting Monday decide the tone for the rest of your week.

Do the session.
Take the walk.
Move your body even if it’s not your best effort.

You’ll never regret doing something.
But doing nothing gets old, fast.

Happy Monday 🩵x

I didn’t always feel like this!

Confident
Comfortable
At ease in my own skin

There was a long time where I was doing all the “right” things on paper but still didn’t feel good in myself.
Training with no direction.
Eating with guilt or in secret.
Second guessing everything.
Waiting for confidence to magically arrive once I looked a certain way.

It never did. And never would’ve.

What actually changed things wasn’t a new plan, a new body, or a quick fix.
It was building trust with myself.
Showing up even when motivation dipped.
Creating routines I could stick to in real life.
And stopping the cycle of starting over every few months.

Confidence didn’t come from perfection.
It came from follow through.

That’s what I care about now. And it’s how I coach.

Not shrinking yourself.
Not chasing someone else’s idea of “fit”.
But feeling strong, calm, and secure in who you are.

If you’re waiting to feel ready before you start…
This is your reminder that confidence is built by doing.
Not by waiting.

Own your life.
Own your choices.
Own you 😚🩵
