I quit my job 🫠

At 35, I decided it was time to stop talking about the things I wanted to do and actually give myself the chance to do them.

I’m moving from marketing into fitness, completing my PT qualification and starting to build the coaching business I’ve been thinking about for a very long time.

Do I have everything figured out? Absolutely not.

Am I excited, terrified and slightly delusional?
All of the above 😂

Welcome to The Restart Diaries. I’m documenting what happens when you decide to bet on yourself and build a new chapter from scratch.

Here’s to starting before you feel ready!!

Hi, I’m Nana ✨

Allow me to introduce myself properly! I’m a fitness and lifestyle girlie who has been training consistently for around 10 years and honestly, fitness has become so much more than just how I look.

I’m passionate about strength training, feeling good in my body, building healthy habits and becoming the strongest version of myself. But this page is also about navigating life in my 30s and all the things that come with it because fitness is only one part of the picture.

Expect gym workouts, fitness tips, a little wellness, lifestyle content, some laughs and a whole lot of real life progress along the way 💪🏾🤍

If you’re on your own journey to feel stronger, healthier and more confident, you’re in the right place.

Tell me a little about yourself in the comments and what are you currently working towards?👇🏾

Happy to have you here 🫶🏾

Don’t allow your fear of looking stupid and asking questions stop you from asking questions!

As I embark on this new chapter of my journey, I’m very cognisant of the fact that I don’t know everything and I don’t have all the answers.

Yes, a quick Google search might bring up a few things but nothing beats sliding into some DMs to have productive conversations with people. This is all a part of exposure therapy!

I promise you that being a beginner and knocking on a few doors will be worth the time!

Friendly reminder: your body, your rules!

How you dress, look and choose to present your body is entirely up to you. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for feeling confident in your skin, and you certainly don’t need anyone’s permission to express yourself.

Body confidence starts with owning your choices, not seeking approval

What would you start if you stopped worrying about whether you started too late???

I used to think there was a timeline for figuring your life out:

Career by a certain age
Money by a certain age
Success by a certain age

And now I’m 35 and changing direction completely!

But honestly, I don’t think I could have built what I’m trying to build at 25.

I’m bringing years of professional experience, around 10 years of training, more self awareness and a much clearer idea of what actually matters to me.

Maybe you haven’t started late. Maybe you’ve just arrived at the right time!

We’re always talking about the goals we want to achieve, but how often do we stop to think about the woman we’re becoming along the way?

For me, it’s about more than getting stronger in the gym. It’s about building self trust, learning to set boundaries, having the courage to take risks and creating a life that feels good to actually live.

You can have goals, ambitions and big dreams without treating the woman you are today as someone who needs fixing.

So, Gym Bestie, let’s end this chapter with a question:
Who do you want to become in this next chapter of your life?

Not what do you want to own, achieve or look like. Who do you want to be?

My meals remain pretty consistent for the most part unless I alternate between a few options. The point being that sometimes you just have to stick to the same meals, especially if you have particular goals you are working to.

It doesn’t mean they need to lack flavour and colour though 👀

At what point does discipline stop feeling like discipline and instead become an obsession?

Discipline is what keeps you in a routine at the gym, at work or with your nutrition. If you can’t maintain balance or you feel anxious, it’s quite possible that something is off kilter and this has instead become unhealthy.

Discipline should help you to grow and build the life that you want. It should never control you!

So where is the line between obsession and discipline?
