I kept having the same conversations with clients. They felt as though they were "doing health and fitness wrong" and didn't have permission to find their own path. When I told them there weren't any "rules" and they had full permission to find their own approach and style so many of them said it was a game changer. I wanted to distill that into a book so people didn't needlessly suffer around their health and fitness. Health and fitness should be a source of joy and inspiration! Not dread and suffering! Bring on the joy!

Generally my clients. Questions they have or ideas they raise. It gets my wheels turning. As I help to coach them my ideas start flowing and I'm often compelled to write.

This past year since the book released has been about really decompressing and allowing myself space to evolve. I also launched an online platform to further support readers and clients called the Super You Studio (www.superyoustudio.com) which includes masterclasses on topics ranging from Self-Compassion and Self-Talk to how to build Habits. It's been really fun to research these topics and develop content in another medium!

Just start writing. Don't worry about who's going to read it and whether they'll like it. It's irrelevant. If you feel compelled to write, write!

I loved the entire process. It's challenging, humbling and clarifying. Writing The Elephant in the Gym made me a better coach and person!

Almost always by doing something active. When I stop trying and start moving my brain also starts moving.
