Behind the smile, you never really know what someone is going through.
The first photo is how I’ve been some days recently. The second is me putting on a smile, getting on with my day and showing up anyway.
Recently, my biggest supporter, my grandma passed away and yesterday I also lost my giant African millipede — something that might seem small to some people, but was something I loved and cared for deeply.
Life has felt really hard lately, and I wanted to be honest about that.
There have been moments where I’ve cried between sessions, sat in the toilet on my breaks trying to pull myself together, and even had to cancel a few clients last minute because I simply wasn’t okay.
But despite all of that, I still want to show up.
I still want to be there for my clients. I still want to coach, encourage and support you, even when I’m having a difficult day myself.
So to every client who has been understanding when I’ve been quieter than usual, who has been patient with me when I’ve had to cancel, and who has still trusted me with your sessions while I’ve been going through a really difficult time — thank you. 🤍
Being a PT doesn’t mean I’m happy and motivated every single day. I’m human too. Sometimes life gets heavy, and sometimes all you can do is put on the fake smile, get through the day and try again tomorrow.
If you’re struggling at the moment too, please remember that you never truly know what someone else is carrying — and you don’t have to pretend that everything is okay all the time.
Thank you for bearing with me while I navigate a pretty difficult chapter.
I’m still here. I’m still trying. I’m incredibly grateful for every single one of you. And yes that great white shark with blonde hair and braces is 14 year old me.
