#72 Changing the goal posts

2024 is the year we changed our vision, goals and offers here at The Rig. We shut down our mobile/ group fitness classes and inadvertently started a gym on our farm. Listen to how that came about, what led us there, what visions we have for the future and to chat about how its ok to change your goals. And just because something doesn't pan out the way you thought it would.. doesn't automatically mean failure either. Maybe your decisions will grow you, and allow others to benefit too.

#69 The hard truth

We can do hard things. But we also may have deeper thoughts and issues at play. Finding the appropriate help and tools to deal with this is pivotal to how well we can move forward and heal. Don't allow past experiences and trauma to continue to have a hold over you. Easier said than done.. but often what's looking back at us in the mirror isn't what we want to see. Even if its at goal weight......

#68 The person you want to be is inside of you

Why aren't you letting that person have a crack at being you? You can't be the person you want to be if you're constantly shoving yourself in a box. Let go and go get it... you can and are the person you want to be... just nourish yourself and start to allow yourself to see you for who you are. Maybe you've been there all along. x Trigger warning.. lots of dog movements and sounds and I drop ALL of the F bombs.
