How is everyone? My last post was about "Why am I so tired". I thought it was because of everything I was trying to cram into each day, and to be honest that is probably a big part of the reason! 😆 BUT I have just found out that I am anaemic, which I was not expecting. 🤔 On top of being exhausted, emotionally I have been up and down like a yo-yo and generally feeling old and achy. I thought it was my ADHD, the perimenopause and 75 days hard challenge, so it took my a little by surprise. I didn't know this but low iron levels cause all of the above problems! and mine are very low! (My actual ironing levels are also very low as this is a job I really dislike!! 😆) I'm now on iron tablets which have been making me feel a bit groggy but I am feeling a little lighter today and hopeful that all the crappy things I have been feeling will soon be a thing of the past. I know that lots of us women are not very good at looking out for ourselves as we are always looking out for other people. (Guilty!) My message today, please don't assume for months like I did, go and see someone, have some tests / blood tests .... find out what is going on. Love Chloe x

These are just a few ways describe how I am feeling today!! Hyper-spaghetti-brained Discombobulated All over the shop (office) Fragmented Chaotic Bouncy Glitchy Fizzy Ever feel like your head is a box of frogs on acid? That's me today! Thoughts bouncing, ideas colliding, energy everywhere but nowhere all at once. Anyone else got an acid fuelled party of frogs in their head? Chloe ❤️ xx

Perimenopause tried to destroy who I am! - 75 days to show it who’s the Queen! Day 1 of 75 Today marks the start of something BIG. I’m committing to the 75 Hard Challenge from 16th September to 30th November. My chosen way on staying consistent is announcing it to everyone! Here’s what I’ve signed up for - no excuses!!!! 2 x 45-min workouts daily - one must be outdoors 🚶 Stick to a healthy eating plan - only 1 cheat meal per week 🍽️ 3L of water every single day - I will be in the loo A LOT! 🚽 No alcohol – that’s the easy bit as stopped drinking 259 days ago! 🥳 10 pages of nonfiction reading daily – kicking off with Tony Robbins “Awaken the Giant Within” My decision has been fuelled by the “the life assassin” (perimenopause/menopause) rearing its very much unwanted crappy head and trying to destroy who I am. 😤 Well, I am not having it!! You can do one! I am fighting back with discipline, strength, and focus. 🥊 Kicked off today with a 48 min /4.2K walk at lunch time. Anyone else want to join me? DM your mobile and I will add you to my 75 Day Hard WhatsApp so we can cheer each other on! Love Chloe ❤️

Hormone changes have been hitting me hard over the last few weeks! Maybe perimenopause, maybe menopause creeping in, whatever it was, it was a storm I couldn’t control, and I got very close to jacking it all. Business. Content. Goals. As a woman with ADHD I am used to dealing with brain paralysis, I have learned to live with it, accept it and go with it BUT this feeling was a whole new level of F*** it all, I can’t do this. It felt like my mind had been stolen by something I couldn’t get a grip on which was crushing me, my confidence, my zest for life, my emotions and my energy. I was crumbling and desperately wanted to hide away as it felt impossible to stop the war that was raging in my head. As most of us do, somehow, I managed to carry myself through and even did a photo shoot for my new upcoming podcast series and you can see the pain behind my smile. The tiredness, the puffy eyes, the self-doubt, the weight of it all. But I did it when I really didn’t want to and I feel proud of that. Thankfully the life assassin has done one and has given me some relief this week. I am not here with words of wisdom, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone! DO NOT GIVE UP, even when the life assassin is telling you to! Anyone else been feeling the same lately? Drop a ❤️ or share your experience below so we know we’re not alone. Love Chloe xx

It was Implementation Week with the Masters of Influence Academy, learning how to speak and present on stage. It was the week I was pushed well and truly out of my comfort zone and then a bit more! Day 1: Traumatising (no sugar-coating it). Day 2: Emotional, tears at the end of the day when my brain checked out! Day 3: Something shifted. Things started coming together. My confidence began to grow. Day 4: Discovered I REALY LOVE speaking on stage! At the start of the week, I struggled even with prompts on my laptop, remembering what I was saying, when to click to the next slide ... weirdly, that was the hardest part for me on stage, even the clicker control buttons scrambled my head! My ADHD brain processes things slower, even though I’m a fast talker (and, yes, my sentences often come out backwards 😅). On stage, you can’t really get away with that, well, could, but no one would have a clue what I was on about! I felt overwhelmed and very emosh! My biggest takeaway? Keep getting up, even when you fall over emotionally and mentally. 💪 AND repeat, repeat, repeat. If you get it wrong, do a little dance, blow some raspberries and start again! 🤣 Because every time you do, you get a little stronger, a little braver, and a whole lot closer to the version of you that can handle anything. Big thank you to my amazing mentor Nick Staab and my amazing Pod Mentor Michelle Jenmi who was there by my side the whole way through! Love you both! Xx What is the last thing you did that scared you but made you stronger? Love Chloe xxx
