Bikini Body Truth
BIKINI BODY TRUTH
27 / JULY / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Bikini Body š ... is there really such a thing? ā£
There is so much pressure from social media, magazines, outside influences like our social circles or partners, or even family which eventually become internal pressures. ā£
However, we are getting so much wiser around this issue. We identify that what you see plastered over all forms of media is photoshopped and edited and unrealistic for the majority of the population. We have the advocates for all you need is a bikini and a body, embrace the skin youāre in, love yourself and wear what you want when you want. ā£
If you ask me, the main thing we need to focus on when it comes to this is bringing down the internal pressures we give ourselves, and bringing down the judgement we pass on ourselves. ā£
So letās make the beach, the pool, the bathroom, the bedroom, the gym, the mall, every mirror or reflection or photo you ever see in your life a judgement free zone. ā£š
THE MINDSET SHIFT
If we are so willing to accept and encourage others, why canāt we offer the same kindness to ourselves. We decide whatās beautiful in our minds, not social media, and not magazines. ā£
I know when I see a girl in a bikini, any shape or size I bring about admiration, not judgement, in my head itās a āyou go girlā or āI love that bikiniā rather than a she shouldnāt be wearing that.
Not one single body is perfect, thatās merely how society has depicted it for us. Whatās beautiful no matter your shape or size is your true self. ā£
We all have things we arenāt 100% happy with, we all have imperfections, but itās what makes us human and unique! If you really are unhappy with your body, take some action. I donāt just mean go to the gym or eat healthier. I mean work on your mind! Bring kindness instead of judgement and make changes to your lifestyle if it will help! ā£
It is when we remove this judgement we can learn to stop judging ourselves. I accept my body and thank it for all it goes through on a daily basis. I love it because it is my one true home. I have shifted my mindset from hate to love, from judgement to kindness and you can too! You just gotta flip the switch!
However, I get itā¦ even when you do the work around loving yourself more, sometimes guilt can come up because you ask the question, how can I love myself and still want to change?
This is something that could do with incorporating a little bit of a new perspective. I want to let you know itās okay to strive to achieve something, itās okay to know that youāre capable of more. The biggest thing is accepting and loving your body every stage of the process. ā£
Whilst I definitely advocate for body confidence, and self love I think itās also completely fine to have goals and be wanting to work towards your best physique possible. I often find people take one of the two extremes... either all self love or all about the shred. Thereās actually a middle ground that you can sit in too! ā£
You can have BOTH!
ACCEPTANCE IS KEY
Take me for example. Am I where I want to be with my body right now? Hell No! I have goals, I do want to have more of a toned stomach and leaner legs, grow my hamstrings and my shoulders. I have something to work towards and strive for.
However... ā£
Do I love my body for how far it has come and appreciate all it does for me day in day out? Hell Yes! ā£š
Acceptance is the Key! Accepting my body for the way it is right now allows me to be comfortable and confident in my own skin. After all... we decide whatās beautiful right? ā£
Iām a fish, I love the water, always have and always will. I wear a bikini because I want to swim, I want to tan, I want to be able to have fun in the skin Iām in... And I can do this with complete comfort, even though I may not be where I want to be 100% in my physical goals. Itās important to be happy with where youāre at, rather than always looking to where you want to go. ā£
So, rather than hating your body because itās not where you want it to be right now, love it, show it respect for all you put it through and know that the positivity and love you are showing it will help you get to your goals a lot quicker. Make a plan, but embrace the journey rather than chasing the destination!

MY PERSONAL REFLECTIONS FOR JULY 2022
6 / JULY / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
As I contemplate writing this, it's a wet winter day, cold outside and I have my heater on by my feet. I am sipping on warm lemon water, and reflecting on my life this time a year agoā¦
If youāve been in my world for awhile now, you will know I LOVE personal development, I am ridiculously sensitive and therefore the very sentimental type. It also helps that I am a Cancer Sun and Moon, Enneagram Two and Projector on Human Design (and if you have no idea what those mean, donāt worry, but itās fun to learn more about our human selves).
I share this with you because my last year around the Sun has been one of deep transformation, tests and triumphs, yet I still find myself wanting to explore, expand and grow in so many new ways. It seems that has always been the case too.
BEING TOO BUSY
My mother told me when I was little that I was always ātoo busyā, never had time to stop, slow down or even pause for a cuddle, my eyes and mind were always focused and fixated on the ānext thingā.
Although the cuddle part comes as a surprise (I am a very affectionate person who is always up for a hug), Iāve really come to learn that this core sense of urgency and focusing on the future hasnāt really changed.
It seems no matter whether I am 8 or 28 there is something inside of me that continues to push and focus on whatās ahead, now whilst this is great, I do love the fact that it drives me and makes me ambitious, it also has been one of my biggest struggles.
I share this with you because I know I am not alone, and I also know the rate at which the world is moving right now is at a speed none of us really know how to keep up withā¦ and it only seems to be getting faster.
You see the more we speed up and focus on the future, the more we miss out on the present, the more we are never truly happy or satisfied with the blessings that are right in front of us.
It is always āthe next goalā, the next house, the next trip, the next job, and all the fears and anxieties around achieving those and where we should be by this time in our lives.
Iāll be honest with you, I know I am still āyoungā in the grand scheme of things, but there are social pressures and biological clocks that are ticking that give a woman in particular even more stress.
When I was little I used to think by the time I was 28 I would be married with my 2 or 3 children, have my little white picket fence house, be a teacher and settled down in my life. However, this couldnāt be further from the truth, and as much as this does freak me out a little, I am actually really excited for what the future holds and the fact I still have all of those dreams to still look forward to.
FINAL THOUGHTS
So this is your reminder, if you arenāt where you want to be right now, maybe you arenāt even close, look around at all you have to be grateful for. Stop, take a breath in, breathe it out, simply acknowledge how far you have come, and the fact you keep showing up every single day (even when you donāt feel like it).
I know this sense of urgency I have and struggle to slow down is in fact the one thing that is holding me back. If I stopped trying to do so much, and really simplified the things in my life, I know that things can happen a lot quicker and easierā¦ so that is my goal moving forward.
More rest, more easy, more breaks, more time in the NOW, rather than the WHEN (when this happens, when I achieve this, when I can afford āxā...) and embracing the person, the body, the life that I already have.
So as I celebrate my birthday this week, I step into an even deeper feeling of gratitude, not for materials that I am thankful to receive, but for every single one of you that is hereā¦ reading this, part of the community, that I may have had the privilege to work with or yet to have the privilege to work with, the fact that I have a deep sense of connection to my purpose and mission which is to help humanās heal (particular females), and it is my hope that with every step we can support and uplift one another.
Thank you for being here, thank you for being you and sending you love and light in all your endeavours :) š
With this I will leave you with my favourite quote from Kung Fu Panda (not sure of the original proverb author) ā¦ Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, thatās why itās called the PRESENT!
Yours in Health & Happiness,

š¤š½ POWER OF 3: choose THREE things that you are focused on that day, anymore is just a bonus, the more you try and take on the more overwhelmed and disappointed you get when you donāt get it all done āŗļø
2ļøā£ Use the first hour of your morning as your POWER HOUR šš½
Your brain š§ is in theta state for the first hour you wake up, meaning brain function is optimised, so include some sort ofā¦

5 Things To Prioritise For Optimal Health
SHEREE'S PYRAMID OF PRIORITIES - 5 PRIORITIES TO OPTIMISE YOUR HEALTH
16 / MARCH / 2022
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
I get asked all the timeā¦ How do I lose weight? How do I balance my hormones? How do I heal my gut? Honestly, it all starts HERE, with the 5 priorities I am about to share with you! This is your foundation to healthā¦Ā
TOP 5 PRIORITIES
1. STRESS + SLEEP:Ā
Do not underestimate the impact stress has on your body, this can be food stress, emotional stress, physical stress, mental stress you name it. It triggers inflammation, can negatively impact your gut health and throw your hormones out of whack if youāre constantly producing tonnes of your stress hormone cortisol!Ā
Stress also has a massive impact on our sleep, which as you will know from experience, a poor night's sleep throws you off for the entire day, if not the entire week! Sleep is where we rest, repair, create long-term memories, and recover, in fact it is arguably THE most important thing we should be doing for our health as humans.
YET, we tend to be completely okay sacrificing it time and time again for more things that are creating stress in our life. A lack of sleep not only tells your body to store more fat, but also encourages you to overeat (and not the good stuff), you typically reach for quick fixes of energy - like sugar and caffeine!Ā
You have to be managing your stress and getting enough sleep, this is a NON-NEGOTIABLE for achieving your goalsā¦ focus on having set boundaries around your work hours, and getting 7 - 9 hours sleep EVERY single night!
2. SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS:
Forget diets, eat REAL food, you know, the stuff without an ingredients list (or a minimal one), your body knows what to do with it! Yupā¦ if you canāt pronounce the ingredient, chances are your body doesnāt know how to use it and it provides no nutritional value.
In fact, REAL foods like your meat, poultry, fish, fruits and veggies do not even come with an ingredients list. These are the kinds of foods your diet should be rich in. When you look at your plate, you should be asking yourself, is that enough protein? Is that enough greens? What NUTRIENTS am I getting!Ā
Then once you know your nutrient intake is great, you can weave in things that are sometimes foods if you want to. It is about balance, but whole real foods should make up at least 80% of your diet.
3. SUPPORT + SELF-CARE:
Donāt expect yourself to know how to do everything or to do everything for everyone else. Self-care and support go hand in hand. This can literally look like asking for more help from the people around youā¦
Remember, how easily you say yes to everyone and want to support, well others love to help too. It is OKAY to ask for help and it is okay to receive it too! Sharing the load makes for a much happier environment and YOU! Also, make it a non-negotiable to have at least 5 minutes of YOU time daily and an hour a week if you can, doing something you love!
If you want to take your health to the next level, and arenāt sure to start, it is worth investing in yourself. I cannot tell you how much my health has been fast tracked through having the support and guidance from coaches.
4. STRENGTH TRAINING:
Ladiesā¦ LIFT! If you want to boost your metabolism, support optimal hormone production, and feel empowered, start moving some weights! I cannot stress this enough. No matter what age you are, this will support your health and well-being.Ā
And NO it isnāt going to make you bulky, in fact it will help lean you out, get your bones stronger and of course help you feel stronger and fitter within yourself!Ā
Rememberā¦ We all start somewhere, so if it's 1kg or 100kg, you got this! Join a gym, take part in a group fitness program, whatever it looks like, but start picking up some weight. It doesnāt have to replace your exercise currently, but see if it can become something you do 2 - 3 x a week. The results will speak for themselves!
5. SUPPLEMENTS:
This is NOT a one size fits all! Make sure youāre supporting your body with the nutrients that we canāt get enough of through food, or are being depleted by stress! Unfortunately, when it comes to supplements, you definitely want to be careful what you put in the body as not all supplements are created equal!Ā
The other side of the supplement equation is that they do play a very important role! Nowadays our soils arenāt being replenished with the nutrients they once were and this leads to deficiencies of nutrients in our food supply, like zinc, iodine and selenium! And if they arenāt in the soil then they arenāt in our food and then we canāt get them!Ā
So, I recommend that you speak to a qualified health-care provider (like myself) when choosing supplements so you arenāt just taking anything off the shelves!Ā

THE SECRET TO DITCHING THE DIET MENTALITY FOR GOODā¦Ā
Do you ever feel like you canāt āTREAT YOURSELFā or it will undo all your hard work? š š¼āāļøš«
How was your weekend? Did you enjoy a meal out or two? Or maybe five? Or did you spend it feeling restricted or guilty??Ā
Did you know that whether it is chocolate, pizza or just a regular tub of ice cream, if you want to eat the food or not, the choice is actually completely up to you!Ā
Now that might sound ridiculously obvious, but I cannot tell you how many people Iāve worked with (myself included), that had actually given all their power away to the food!
LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
How about instead of focusing on what you canāt have, focus on what you really want!Ā
Seriously! The amount of times I have actually passed up chocolate, ice cream and cake because I really didnāt feel like it, and other times where I have devoured more than my share!Ā
There was a time where bingeing was my go to, followed by purgingā¦ I wonāt even tell you what happened to the poor giant Reeseās pieces peanut butter egg that I ate in one sitting.
But that was before I found the balance I now have. There is no restriction, so there is literally no need to binge or purge.Ā
I give myself full permission to have what I want, when I want, and this for me is truly FREEING!Ā
By listening to my body, hunger cues, feeling into whether or not I am wanting the chocolate from a place of lack and emotion, or because I truly want to enjoy it and savour every delicious mouthful, has been a GAME CHANGER!Ā
And if it worked for me (with my history of ED), then I know it can work for you!Ā
The more you feel restricted, š« the more your body and mind will fight you!Ā
Try giving yourself grace and checking in with yourself š¤ whether you really want the chocolate š« or not, and if you do, ENJOY it! Every mouthful! š
ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION
Next time you go to reach for food, any food, ask yourself āIs this what is really going to serve me?āĀ
The key here is to answer HONESTLY! Listen to what your gut is telling you (like seriously), take that pause and then make your decision from a place of empowerment and completely GUILT FREE!Ā
You can have your cake š° and eat it too! LITERALLY š¤©
The other thing you want to ask yourself, is WHY do I want the chocolate/wine/pizza?Ā
Is it to enjoy one with my family or friends?
Is it out of boredom and laziness?Ā
Is it because I am stressed out?
Is it because I am lonely?Ā
Is it because I am sad?Ā
Is it because I am tired?
(You get the idea)Ā
Start to bring CURIOSITY as to WHY there may be a feeling of GUILT coming up (often it is there far before you even eat the egg - am I right?)Ā
So, if we address the emotion, the guilt, the underlying reason we are reaching for it, whether that be a quick fix or a delicious treat, then we can prevent the GUILT.Ā
If that chocolate isnāt going to serve you in the moment, and what youāre really looking for is a hug, or some form of connection, then call a friend, find a flatmate that will give you a hugā¦ it will mean you are giving the body and mind exactly what it wants.Ā
Then if you still want the chocolate after that, then ENJOY it.
But you can eat it knowing that it isnāt because there is an EMOTIONAL DRIVER or boredom, but actually because the chocolate is what you want!Ā
= NO GUILT!
Remember, just like ONE SALAD OR SMOOTHIE isnāt going to get you the body of your dreams, ONE SLICE OF PIZZA or four isnāt going to take it away!Ā
Sending you love, and know that you are never alone!
If you are struggling with emotional eating or feeling guilty around food, flick me a DM! I am happy to help you through it xĀ

10 Lessons From 2021
MY 10 BIGGEST LESSONS FROM 2021
15 / DECEMBER / 2021
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
After 2020ā¦ It became very clear that 2021 did NOT understand the assignment!Ā
All joking aside, what a whirlwind this year has been, here in New Zealand I have been overwhelmed with the changes that have been going on, and am pleased to say finally out of an almost 4 month lockdown period!Ā
I know it hasnāt been easy on the rest of the world this year either, so my heart goes out to all of you. Your feelings are valid, and it is okay if you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or just want to hide until all of this is overā¦ I see you, and just know, youāve got this!Ā
One of my favourite things to do at the end of the year (I have even set it for my clients as homework this year), is to write down your own 10 lessons of 2021!Ā
It is so easy for us to see all of the ācrapā we have gone through as exactly that, but I invite you to get curious and see how life is serving and supporting you through all of this turmoil. I also invite you to write down all of your wins this year, big and small, because you are worth celebrating!Ā
Rememberā¦ Whatever lessons you have learnt this year, meet them with love and grace, and know inevitably, they are all serving you and your highest good!
MY 10 LESSONS:Ā
#1: HAVE FAITH
My word of the year this year was FAITH, and like the Universe loves to doā¦ it truly put me in positions where my faith was tested! But, as I have also learnt, life is always happening for you.Ā
When I say faith, it was learning to have faith in something greater than me. I have never grown up practicing a religion, nor do I believe there is a right or wrong way to practice faith.Ā
So for me, it was learning to trust that I am truly supported in all that I do, and that no matter the ups and downs I am always held by a greater force. I refer to it as The Universe or Source, for others it might be God.Ā
Whatever you decide to call it, the essence in my opinion remains the same and has been what has gotten me through one of the toughest years yet, and I am so truly grateful for the gift of this lesson, and will continue to have faith in myself, the support around me and the Universe as I navigate my future years.Ā
#2: YOU ARE WORTHY SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU EXIST
Iām not going to lie, this one is still a work in progress, but man, did I have some breakthroughs this year!!Ā
Knowing my core wound or story is that āIām not enoughā, I had never truly realised that the reason I keep myself to such a tight schedule, so busy and always filling up my days with to-do lists was to inevitably avoid feeling this not enoughness.Ā
My worth for goodness knows how long, was attached to how much I was DO-ING, rather than being loved and worthy for simply BE-ING!Ā
This blew my mind, and is still something I have to remind myself on the daily. That no matter my level of productivity, I am enough simply because I exist. No emails, content, coaching, etc could ever change that.Ā
#3: GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSIONā¦ GUILT FREE!Ā
Trulyā¦ this is something I have seen my clients struggle with so much this year and one of the things I have been thanked the most for; helping people give themselves permission.Ā
Permission to eat the treat guilt free, to rest guilt free, to want more from themselves, bodies or livesā¦ GUILT FREE!Ā
I cannot tell you how long I struggled with the idea that the permission had to come from an external source - coach, partner, parent. And yet I hate the feeling of being controlled? Makes no sense right, yet here I was giving my power away day after day.
It wasnāt their fault, I just wasnāt clear enough in my boundaries internally, energetically and professionally. As soon as I gave myself permission to stop, not reply, or slow downā¦ things dramatically shifted in my health and my happiness.Ā
There is a difference between clear communication and being powerless!
#4: CELEBRATE MORE!Ā
If there is ONE thing I wish women would do moreā¦ CELEBRATE THEMSELVES!! And no, I donāt mean go out and drink more wine (although if you want to, do it)!Ā
I mean look back on your week, month, day OFTEN and see how much you have accomplished, not just physicallyā¦ mentally, emotionally and spiritually!Ā
We are so quick to support our friends, or sometimes we get a competitive streak and drop into comparison and that removes the feeling of celebrating other women, but this needs to SHIFT!!Ā
You, your friends, your family, the strangers that we feel like we know on the internet, all need to be celebrated for the amazing things they are doing, no matter how big or small! Keep a list of your wins close by and add to it often to remind yourself of how amazing you are doing!
Forget cancel culture. Letās create a celebrate culture! Where we lift each other up, help one another be seen, because DAMN! It not only feels good, but what you celebrate in others you also call forward in yourself!Ā
#5: PRACTICE FORGIVENESS
It has been a year full of judgements, towards others, towards ourselves, making us question our decisions, our beliefs and where we stand on things, and if we are making the right choices.Ā
The hardest thing when you judge yourself, is that you really canāt see clearly. If you are looking for answers, you just pull yourself down into a lower frequency when you are being judgemental.Ā
It doesnāt matter if it is of others or yourself, it is a toxic practice, one that I am practicing letting go of.Ā
Now the opposite of judgement is forgiveness. This doesnāt mean that you just let things slide and people or your mind walk all over you, but you can practice forgiveness, when you are ready to move into a state of acceptance. To remove the weight of beliefs that are holding you back and to free yourself from judgements you have made!Ā
I have learnt this art form deeply in Alyssa Nobrigaās Institute for Coaching Mastery where I studied this year to get my life coaching certificationā¦ that is a whole other blog post though!
#6: IT IS OKAY TO FAIL
You remember me mentioning not feeling enoughā¦ Yup, well if I wasnāt productive and completing my daily to-doās then I was a failure, and guess what, I attached that to being not enough too!Ā
In my opinion, something is only really a failure when you stop trying, and this little trooper here NEVER GIVES UP!Ā
Even when times are hard, there is always a way through, and just like when we were babyās learning to walk, no matter how many times we fell down, we didnāt let that stop us from trying again.
Your failures donāt need to mean anything about you, the best thing you can do is take the lessons from them and see how they are actually working to support you; which ties perfectly into my next lessonā¦Ā
#7: LIFE IS HAPPENING FOR YOU
To further the lesson of it being okay to failā¦Ā
Let me be real with you. I launched something this year and it was THE biggest flop that my business has ever seen. I took it so personally, made it mean so much about me, that I was a failure, no one wanted to work with me, etcā¦
But the truth was, I was burnt out, exhausted, in the middle of a lockdown and it was actually such a gift that my flop of an idea didnāt end up going ahead because my health wouldāve deteriorated.Ā
I have had so many failures in my life, and now I look back and see the lessons, and gifts they have all been. They have been the stepping stones that have supported me along the way.Ā
Without these failures, I wouldnāt have reached the success as they were all valuable opportunities to learn. And whilst you may be in the middle of a lesson now, and it can be hard to see how this is supporting you, know that in time it will make itself clear.Ā
This way we can stop being a victim to our external circumstances and start being the victor!Ā
#8: DANCE LIKE NOONE IS WATCHING
I mean this both literally and figuratively! Dance naked in the bathroom mirror with your top songs of 2021 blasting out! HAVE SOME FREAKIN FUN!
I started back up at dance classes this year, and honestly, it was some of the most fun I have had in years. Being a free spirit, learning something new, being a kid all over againā¦ sometimes getting frustrated for getting it wrong, but always ending up laughing at myself because no-one but me really cared!Ā
But the lesson it truly taught me, was just to show up authentically as myself. Wrong or right dance moves, enjoy the moment, release the stuck energy, and clear your mind of all that is no longer serving you!Ā
You will never get this moment back, make the most of it!
#9: PROTECT YOUR ENERGY
A question to ask yourself as you conclude this yearā¦ who or what is draining my energy?Ā
Now I say that with kindness, because it may be hard to realise some of those close to you are actually energy vampires! The people that actually leave you feeling more exhausted than before you saw them.Ā
Or maybe, you realise that some tasks or your work is just not what you want to be doing anymore. Or maybe it is just that you need to get clearer on your boundaries moving into 2022!Ā
Your energy is your number one currency, you donāt want to be trading that freely with anyone or anything. It is important to be there for others, yes! But it is also important to take care of you! After all, you cannot give from an empty cup!Ā
#10: LIVE IN A STATE OF GRATITUDE
Fear cannot exist when you are in a state of gratitude! (Read that again!)
After the last years we have had, it is understandable to be fearful about what is happening or what is going to happen in the future! The number one thing we can do to shift out of that fear is to practice gratitude.Ā
Acknowledge your fears yes, but we donāt need to live in them or dwell on them, instead open your eyes and your mind to all the things around you that you have to be grateful forā¦ the fact you can even read this blog is a gift in itself!Ā
If you feel like your mindset needs a reset, practice gratitude every day, just write 3 things down or say them outloud and notice the internal shift it makes (even the science backs me up on this).Ā
BONUS LESSON
#11: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
As someone who LOVES hearing words, and speaks my mind and feelings so freely and deeply, I always trusted and listened when people spokeā¦ took their words at face value.
Now I am not saying this is wrong, however I was leading myself blindly, not looking to see if their actions followed, and continued to get myself hurt. Whether this was in relationships or work, I was doing it to myself time and time again.Ā
I also had to take a hard look in the mirror (the mirror of life) and see that I was guilty of doing the same. Often so unintentionally, but stillā¦ It helped me see things a lot more clearly and start taking more action that I had before!Ā
So, I donāt issue this as a warning, but more of a reflection, see who in your life you might feel let down by and see if you can communicate that to remedy it if that is what you want, but also look at yourself and how you can improve to follow through with your actions. It helps build trust not only with others, but within yourself!

I hope that there is something within these lessons that resonates with you, they come from my heart and are expressed with love, vulnerability and truth. I wish you every happiness in the years to come, and may 2022 hold every blessing you could imagine and more!Ā
With love,
