What have I achieved in 2025 so farā€¦

Well itā€™s nothing big, but for long term benefits theyā€™re massive improvements and each of them are a small step in getting to where I want to be. If you know me youā€™ll now that I speak a lot about the great leap of faith and how detrimental it can be. Often taking baby steps can work more in your favour in terms of getting you somewhere quickerā€¦ So here it goes.

Hereā€™s a polished and more concise version:

āœ… Iā€™ve been eating better, focusing on balanced meals and understanding how my food choices benefit me. By adding more fresh vegetables and high-quality ingredients, my energy has increased, my mind feels sharper, and I can manage my emotions more effectively.

āœ… Iā€™ve been managing my anxiety by and using healthier coping mechanisms like reading, cooking, and walking, which keeps me grounded and balanced.

āœ… Iā€™ve slowed down, even with tasks Iā€™d rather avoid, which has helped me stay present and pay better attention to detail.

āœ… Iā€™ve set clear boundaries that support my growth and stayed committed to them, without letting external factors disrupt my progress.

āœ… Iā€™ve spent more quality time with John, taking the time to ride and tackle small jobs together instead of rushing to settle in front of the TV.

āœ… Iā€™ve stuck to consistent wake and sleep times, allowing my body to rest and recover fully, rather than pushing myself to burnout.

Before you take on a goal, think about the small things you could be doing to lay the foundations out to allow the journey to be much more enjoyable ! ā¤ļø

Feeling stuck? Iā€™ve been there, so hear me out and most importantly read the end of this post. Even if youā€™re not fully invested, still drop me a message ! šŸ’«

I know how it feels to be trapped in your own mind ā€“ spinning your wheels but getting nowhere. I was stuck, unmotivated, and achieving nothing. Something had to change, and it started with one decision: taking action to prioritise my mental wellbeing and start breaking through the barriers holding me back.

That journey transformed not just my life but also my purpose. I gained my Coaching Foundation Certificate, began speaking on stage, and started offering mindset coaching to help others overcome the mental blocks that keep them from achieving their goals. Watching others transform while continuing to grow myself has been the most rewarding part of this journey.

I want to help you do the same.

Your first mindset coaching session is completely FREE ā€“ no commitment, just a chance to see if itā€™s for you. Sessions are online, so you can join from anywhere, at a time that suits you.

Take that first step to a better mindset and a brighter future. Why wait?

2024, what an incredible journey youā€™ve been! šŸ’«

You brought your highs and lows, but above all, you taught me some of lifeā€™s greatest lessons. ā¤ļø

At the start of the year, I found myself in a dark headspaceā€”overthinking everything and worrying about things that didnā€™t even deserve my energy. I felt stuck, doubting my ability to achieve the goals Iā€™d set for myself. But that discomfort sparked something powerful: the realisation that I didnā€™t need to rush. Instead, I started remembering what younger me dreamed of and striving to reconnect with who I truly am.

What a transformation that patience has brought!

From hosting my first solo talks at the to sharing the stage with the incredible and at and , 2024 pushed me to step outside my comfort zone. Throwing myself off wooden horses with and ! These moments inspired me to launch my Mindset Coaching sessionsā€”something Iā€™m so proud of!

But thatā€™s not all. This year brought firsts Iā€™ll treasure forever, like attending the National Shire Show with and , where I had my first go at showing.

I travelled too, making memories with my Gran Canarian family and , and exploring beautiful Italy with amazing people. And now? Florida is already on the horizon for 2025!

Of course, the year wasnā€™t without its challenges. Johnā€™s stifle injury meant months of box rest, steroid injections, and intensive physioā€”a journey filled with worry and tears. But thanks to the incredible support network around me, weā€™ve come out the other side stronger, and John is well on his way back to full health.

Looking back, Iā€™m filled with gratitude for the unforgettable memories 2024 has gifted me. Now, as I look ahead to 2025, Thereā€™s no challenge too big or smallā€”Iā€™m making this year mine.

A huge thank you to my sponsor for standing by me through it all, and to everyone who has supported me or given me opportunities I once thought impossible.

Happy New Year to you all! Hereā€™s to making 2025 extraordinary!

Thank you for another year of listening to my ramblings, understanding my moods when no one else did, and always caringā€”even when the vet bills said otherwise. šŸ“šŸ’ø

This year, you grounded me when I felt unsteady and taught me patience and persistence when I needed it most. You showed me that no matter what challenges lie ahead, peace lives in the present moment.

Thank you for being my best friend, my heart horse, and the greatest gift I could ever wish for. Hereā€™s to more adventures, more lessons, and more love. šŸ©µ

This afternoon, I enjoyed a wholesome Boxing Day walk with Jessā€”a perfect chance to reflect on Christmas and the year 2024 as a whole. It was also an opportunity to think about my intentions for 2025.

Next year, my focus will be on growth and embracing my true, authentic self, staying consistent and grounded regardless of external circumstances. Life ultimately comes down to understanding what you truly want and recognising that, no matter what, youā€™ll always have yourself and should always be happy with yourself no matter the quantity of friends and loved ones you have.

Learning to appreciate what surrounds you is key. Expect the unexpected, and be ready to face any challenges that come your way with resilience and grace.

I hope everyone has had a Christmas surrounded by love and happiness. ā¤ļø

Which way could it go? Will he recover or will we never jump again?

Early this year John torn his Patella Ligament in his stifle. He was very uncomfortable and after veterinary investigation it was discussed he may have to go for scans and face a lengthy recovery journey.

During this time I was so overwhelmed. Worry about covering the excess on my insurance, worried how I was going to manage this and more importantly worried about the welfare of my horse. It took a huge toll on my mental health, I felt so alone and incredibly overwhelmed as there was no escaping this, it was time to step up. Nobody talks about the toll it takes on your mental health when these things go wrong.

I was very fortunate to have such an amazing support group around me. I work a full time job, I teach and have my own life to manage also. I had holidays booked and my diary was filled but much of that had to be cancelled out, John was facing a long time of box rest, a intense rehabilitation routine and more. My friends stepped up, like we do for each other and we all pulled in together. My vets were amazing and kept costs to a minimal whilst doing an exceptional job of getting him back to full health.

My sponsor was on the phone right away with supportive advice and had already had their Joint Supplement shipped to be to provide John additional support. I truly believed this played a huge role in John recovery but also following it all. He was on box rest for 5 months. That alone, injuries aside would have a negative impact on his joints.

I canā€™t thank those around me enough for being there to catch me when the world around seemed to be crumbling and I wasnā€™t sure what to do. We all managed it together whilst keeping stress to a minimal.

When the world around you feels overwhelming. Look for all the things you can control. Remember youā€™re not alone and find strength in your determination.

This was the boy who was told he was an idiot, stupid, that he didnā€™t know what he was doing and to go put the pony he was super excited to loan, back in the field.

I spent a long time questioning why they had said what they said but soon come to realisation that they had no clue about the journey I was going to take with Pepper, they mustā€™ve assumed I was just going to jump on him like his issues didnā€™t exist. But no, there was a 6 week process I went through to finally build up his trust to get on him.

Swipe to the final photo of the first time me sitting on Pepper.

Anything is possible with a sensible plan, one where time frames donā€™t exist. Those who want the best for you with deliver their feedback in a supportive and caring way. They wonā€™t demoralise you. At that point if they do, they have bad intentions.

Always do what is best by you and take feedback only from those who present value to your life .

11 years ago today I got Pepper. The pony I was told Iā€™d fail with and to put back in the field... Fortunately i didnā€™t listen and took my time working with him over a long period. The outcome resulted in me eventually competing the horse that was ā€˜dangerousā€™ and today he works in the riding school making young childrenā€™s dreams come true. I also had good people behind me, supporting me each and every step I took.

What ever you do, always prove them wrong ā¤ļø

Menā€™s mental health month. I stand as a reminder that itā€™s okay to not be okay. Iā€™ve battled anxiety, but every day is a step towards becoming stronger, more authentic, and more at peace with myself. Growth is possible if youā€™re willing to prioritise you. ALWAYS prioritise you!

šŸŒŸ Remember the younger version of you? The little person to dreamt of everything you have today? šŸŒŸ

When weā€™re in the middle of the hard work, the endless training sessions, or even those tough rides, itā€™s easy to forget: there was a time when all of this was a dream. That young, passionate version of you would be over the moon to see how far youā€™ve come. From your first time at the stables to the thrill of each small victory, youā€™ve built a reality out of those dreams.

So when the days get tough, or you feel like giving up, look back. Let that younger version of you remind you why you started. Hold onto the joy, the passion, and the excitement that got you here. Youā€™ve made those dreams come trueā€”now, imagine what else you can achieve!
