The patriarchic and capitalist nature of the diet, fitness and beauty industries keep us focusing on all the wrong things and wasting a LOT of money, time and energy, blaming our 'lack of commitment' on why we don't just 'get it done'. 

The majority of women get stuck in a people pleasing downward spiral, where the lack of boundaries and everyday anxiety lead to constant swings between procrastination and perfectionism, and the only escape is being told that the answer is more 'self care' time. 

"Just buy another detox, drink a green juice, expensive bath bomb or go to another retreat or yoga class." 

That's the answer, right? No it is not.

But you can learn how to Follow Through, 

EVEN IF YOU... 

→ Are the biggest people pleaser on the planet 

→ Already feel burnout by life's challenges 

→ Spent $$$$£££ on ALL the self care products, with little or no results

→ Have never done any 'inner work' before and frankly a little nervous 

→ Don't consider yourself 'woo woo' or have tried any mindset work. 

You can achieve your wants and desires on your terms by embracing that there is space for women like you to win.

I am Mary Beth, started 15 months ago. Could barely walk. Recovering from a foot injury in both feet (plantar fasciitis). Have tried to lose weight with nearly every programme under the sun since I was 40. I’m 58 now. I tried all of these quite diligently: the zone. Body for life (bill phillips). Eat for life (harvey diamond). Anti-inflammatory diets. Blood type diets. Training for triathlons (little ones, called sprints) which did work in my 30s. After 40, nothing worked long-term. 

Now this. I am taking off weight and keeping it off and found a lifestyle I can sustain. I have lost 2 stone (nearly 30lbs) and am down 4 dress sizes. Love how I feel. Love how I am looking. Love who I am becoming. 

And this is how I did it: It pays to start your day off with you. When you take care of your own wellness needs first, it is a proactive step that has ramifications for other parts of your life and the rest of your day. Putting yourself first in the day, starts at bedtime. It is very important to not burn the candle at both ends. 

When I pushed myself too hard the day before with social activities, it always showed up the next day. Sometimes it took 2-3 days to recover from missed hours of sleep. When you respect your body, others respect your priorities. Eventually over the month, I heard both my husband and son explaining to each other, “she can’t do that now as she needs to do this right now.” (get to bed early, stretch, lift, etc.) Life will happen. It isn’t a matter of “if” life will encroach, but “when.” So it pays to be proactive and develop self-care strategies. The most important part is starting fresh each day and renewing your commitment to yourself.

➜ you keep signing up for things and buying the next 'trend' product, only to add it to the pile of half used throw aways and you are ready to stop this addiction and do the only work that matters

➜you can embrace your feminist stirrings and ready to reclaim your power and your voice

➜ you are not afraid to buck the system by saying “no” to things that might work for others but don’t feel good to you and figure out how to make things that DO feel good, work for you instead

➜ you care about your family and career, but this has you being pulled in all directions and often off track and you are looking for better balance (and maybe a little peace)

➜ are open minded, willing to learn, grow and nurture your mind and body with the goal of living a long, healthy and kick ass life - full of energy and vitality

➜ want to use your time and energy to better yourself and learn how to live your best life and ready to do the 'inner work', however uncomfortable

➜ love the idea of a little more 'magic' in your life and aren't scared off my witches, wizards and lots of magical fun
