Happy birthday to my amazing Dad ❤️

It sucks a little more this year because you would have been 80!

I know I would have made you have some sort of get together, or convinced you to go on a trip with us and the kids and you would have loved it.

There would have been wine, cheese platters and ALL the yummy food!

So instead, Mum and I are having a Singapore Sling, the cocktail you used to make us, and your favourite Steak Diane. And we’ll celebrate the incredible life you had. ❤️

I know I take after you in so many ways. I love being surrounded by family and friends, spending time with the people I love, seeing the world and really enjoying all the pleasures of life.

I know you never thought you’d make 80, but damn, I wish you did.

I miss you. My heart still hurts knowing the kids don’t have you here. You absolutely adored them, and boy, could they feel that love.

I miss your cuddles. I miss the way you’d say, “Hey love.” I miss your open heart and your open home, and the way there was always room for the people you loved.

Lachie and I always talk about how Scotty Cam from The Block reminds us of you, even though you hated him 😂 We do find that pretty funny!

Today we celebrate the man you were and the way you showed up so fiercely in this world for the people you loved.

Even when you got angry with us when we were younger 😂, I never, ever doubted how deeply I was loved by you.

Happy 80th birthday, Dad.

I wish you were here to celebrate it with us.

Love you always, your loving daughter ❤️

Ps. Abba is for you!

"You're so lucky."

"You look amazing for almost 50."

"You've always been fit."

"You started 30 years ago, that's why you look like you do."

"I wish I had your genetics."

I've heard every one of these over the years.

But here's the reality of it...
Luck has very little to do with it.

And no, I haven't always looked like this. I've had seasons where I've struggled too. I've had injuries, busy years raising kids, perimenopause, stressful times, holidays, weekends, birthdays... just like everyone else.

The difference isn't that I'm more motivated.

It's that I keep showing up.

I get enough sleep most nights. Even on weekends I don't stay up until all hours.
I eat protein with every meal because I know how much better I feel.
I move my body every day. Sometimes it's weights. Sometimes boxing. Sometimes just a walk.

I don't wait until Monday.
I don't start and stop every few weeks.
I don't jump from one diet to the next looking for the magic answer.

And that's the part that's so boring that most people don't want to hear.

The secret is consistency ✨️

Doing the simple things over and over again, even when they're not exciting.

The little choices you make every single day are the ones that shape your health, your body and your energy years from now.

There is no quick fix.
There is no magic supplement.
There is no perfect program.

Just small habits, repeated often enough that they become part of who you are.

It might not be flashy.
It might not be exciting.

But I promise you... it works.

And the best part?

Anyone can start with one small change today.

💛💛💛

Asked ChatGPT to write an unhinged bio on me 🤣🤣, accurately depicts 47 tabs lol!

Sarah: part emotional support human, part feral beach witch, part drill sergeant with a protein obsession.

Lives on coffee, deep chats, ocean air and telling women they can’t hate themselves into a body they love.

Will make you cry in a sister circle, hug you through your nervous breakdown, then ask if you’ve hit your protein target today.

Has approximately 47 tabs open in her brain at all times:
• self worth
• caravans
• hormones
• why women abandon themselves
• snacks
• the energetics of food
• moving to Bali for peace
• school lunches
• “I’ll start Monday” mentality

Equal parts nurturing mum and “get your s**t together lovingly” coach.

Can hold space for your trauma while simultaneously recommending a high protein breakfast and a walk in nature.
Probably barefoot.
Definitely overthinking.

Will voice note you a life changing pep talk from the car park before school pickup.

Built a business from pure heart, life experience and refusing to let women believe they’re broken anymore.

Emotionally deep but also fully capable of losing her mind because someone cut an avocado wrong.

Had a giggle at this! Anyone tried this??

You’re not inconsistent

You’ve just been trying to figure it out every single day with no structure to support you

And of course that feels hard

This is why we start here 💛

If you’ve been feeling this… next round will be for you

Message me and I’ll share how it works ✨️

You don’t rise to the level of your goals…
You fall to the level of your systems.

This is why you keep starting over.

Not because you lack motivation.
Not because you don’t want it enough.

But because there’s nothing there to support you when life gets busy.

So you rely on willpower…
And it runs out.
Every time.

What actually changes things?
Simple systems.
Support.

Something to come back to on the hard days.

This is the work I do with women every day 💛

If you’re ready for this to finally feel easier…
Reach out.

I stand by not giving out Meal Plans! If you go on a plan at some point you must come off one! What do you do then?

And these are the foundations most women are never taught.

Not in diets.
Not in challenges.
Not in “be good and try harder” programs.

When you focus on these four pillars of nourishment, movement, recovery and mindset everything becomes easier:

Your cravings calm
Your energy lifts
Your stress lowers
Your consistency grows
Your body feels safer
And your results actually last

You don’t need more rules
You don’t need to be perfect
You don’t need another diet

You just need a lifestyle that supports you from every angle and that’s exactly what these pillars create

Start with the one that needs the most love right now small shifts add up more than you think

💛 Save this for the days you feel overwhelmed come back to the basics
