I have a bit of a foggy long-term memory… Not my best trait 🙈
But there’s one woman I still remember vividly from my very first job as a physio – Paddington Physio in Brisbane – back when I was 22 and very green.
She was in her 60s, active and energetic. Not running marathons, but fit in a “fit for life” kind of way. She had a very strong daily routine – a walk followed by a strength circuit at home – and she did it every single day. Same movements, same rhythm.
Looking back now, of course, I’d have a few suggestions about increasing variety and progressive overload… but at the time? I was blown away by her consistency.
And here’s what I’ve realised since:
That woman is the exception. Not the rule.
She represents maybe 5–10% of the women I see in clinic – the ones who hear what I say, go home and do their exercises to the letter (I’ve even had a woman who did 35 repetitions of an exercise because I made a typo!)
These women are self-motivated, steady, maybe even comforted by repetition and routine.
But that’s not most women.
Most of the women I work with are smart, driven, and totally capable. But they:
→ Get on a roll, then get derailed.
→ Feel frustrated that they’re not doing more, but can’t seem to find the time.
→ Know that movement helps them feel better, but aren’t sure how to make it stick.
→ Crave rhythm, but keep slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.
And that’s not a discipline problem. It’s a human one.
I was listening to a podcast recently where a behavioural scientist said something that made me literally pull over and open my Notes app:
“We talk so much about habits and routines… but we forget that two of the most powerful drivers of behaviour are collaboration and competition.”
It was a big a-ha for me because yes- I bang on about habits all the time. But they’re only one piece of the puzzle.
Sometimes the reason you’re stuck isn’t because you’re lazy, or undisciplined.
It’s because you’re trying to do it alone.
- You don’t need a brand new workout plan.
- You might just need a nudge.
- A shared goal.
- A dose of healthy accountability.
- A reason to show up when no one’s watching.
That’s why I’m so passionate about the GLOW10 Tribe: because what we’re really building isn’t just stronger glutes or bones.
It’s connection. Encouragement. Momentum that lasts because it’s shared.
But it’s also why I’ve been creating something new…
A vision I’ve been dreaming up for months.
It’s called Everyday Glow — and it’s not an exercise program.
It’s a “how to become the woman who does the exercise program” kind or program.
It’s for the woman who wants to move more, feel better, and show up for herself – but keeps falling off track. It’s coming at the end of July. And for now, I’m just quietly building a waitlist.
If you’re even a little curious, I’d love to have you on it.

Because sometimes, the thing you’re missing isn’t more willpower.
It’s the space to get curious. To build a system that works for you; not just this week, but for the long haul.
