Expectations to me, sit comfortably with comparison, unrealistic goal setting and how much we consume of other people’s perfect content on social media - which doesn’t motivate us or help our self esteem sometimes.
How much time have you wasted scrolling and comparing your body to someone you think is gorgeous, perfect, amazing and maybe you’re even looking for flaws?
Also I think expectations whether we created them ourselves or feel we have to meet the expectations of someone like a boss, a parent, a friend, a partner - carry a lot of weight on our shoulders.
If they go unchallenged and unchecked you will be faced with crippling body dysmorphia and a lot of self manifested pressure.
Everyone is different, which is why no-one can do the same plan and have the same outcome.
Don’t be attached to the ideas of your 6 year old self
Don’t be attached to timelines you saw on the internet for 20 to 30 year olds
Don’t be attached to social media.PERIOD.
They stop us from living at our highest self in the present.

The most anticipated podcast to date.
I've broken down the phases and highly encourage you to
This is not to treat, diagnose or cute this is for information purposes only.
I'm covering everything to do with what a typical cycle will look like. If you don't understand anything I'm saying you can follow along in my blog post which I previously wrote last year and have updated this month with far more useful content!
Please note THERE ARE VARIATIONS of 'normal', so if you are unsure what a healthy period for you looks like PLEASE speak to a your doctor or specialist like a gynaecologist for further analysis.

12 - Time is not an excuse anymore and it makes you sound lazy
If you’re one of those people who blames motivation for your less than enjoyable training sessions and half assed results then you probably also say ‘I don’t have time’
This episode is for you
Time is a BS excuse!!!
People use it to justify that ‘I couldn’t be bothered’
That it didn’t work because "I couldn’t make the time"
No you just didn’t commit and prioritise it!
It’s not a question of time or resources - It’s about resourcefulness and priorities
