Olympia is getting closer, and there’s something special about knowing I’ll soon be back on that stage again🙌🏾

I’ve experienced what it feels like to stand there, to compete there, and to win there...memories I’ll always be incredibly grateful for.

But this year is a new year, a new challenge and another opportunity to bring the best version of myself I can.

For now... the countdown is on!💫💪🏾

The longer I’ve trained, the more I’ve learned to listen to my own body💫

I know which movements I respond well to. I know where I need more attention. I know when something feels right for me and, just as importantly, when it doesn’t.

That understanding hasn’t come from a textbook or someone else’s programme.

It’s come from years of training, competing, making mistakes, trying different things and paying attention to how my own physique responds.

And I’m still learning.

My body now isn’t the same as it was two or five years ago, so my training can’t stay exactly the same either.

That’s one of the things I love about bodybuilding.

You’re never really finished learning your own physique💪🏾

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” — Maya Angelou

I think we spend so much time looking ahead that we sometimes forget to appreciate who we’ve already become.

The athlete.
The woman.
The mum.
The model.
The person behind all of those things.

I’m always working towards another goal, but I also want to enjoy and celebrate this version of myself while I’m here💫💪🏾

With big goals, it’s easy for training to become all about the outcome.

The next show. The next improvement. The next thing you need to work on.

But I never want to lose sight of the fact that I genuinely LOVE what I do💫💪🏾

I love training. I love pushing my body. I love practising my fitness skills, playing around with movement and seeing what I’m capable of.

Yes, I’m working towards Olympia, and of course there are goals attached to every part of my training.

But there should still be moments where you’re doing it simply because you enjoy it.

For me, protecting that enjoyment is important. It’s what has kept me in love with this sport through all the years, all the competitions and all the challenges that come with it.

I’m incredibly grateful that I get to chase huge goals doing something that still makes me smile.

And I never want that part to change💫🙌🏾🥹
