The Philosophy
The Soar Approach
The usual advice of ‘rise and grind’ doesn’t suit everyone. That’s why the Soar Approach is all about showing you, how giving yourself a break will help you make the changes you want, stick! You already have high expectations for yourself, in everything you do. It’s time you gave yourself some breathing space as you lose weight, get fit and improve your health because you deserve to achieve the long term changes you want.
The method
The 3 principles of the Soar Approach
Compassion
Give yourself a break. As a highly work drive Gen X woman, it’s likely you always come last in your own life.
It may look like you’re fine to outsiders, but you probably aren’t. You’ve got deadlines, budgets, people, children and family and friends all depending on you.
You are carrying a heavy load, so if you stumble, give yourself a break. Give yourself some breathing room and understand, how ever long it takes you to achieve your goal, is completely individual to you.
Don’t compare your progress to someone else. Even if you look similar in physical stats, you’ve got completely different stresses, obligations, and life demands.
Relax. Have some compassion for yourself.
You will progress, at your pace.

Commitment
Stay committed when it gets messy.
Changing how we eat and see food, takes a lot of mis-steps, corrections and home runs. You are untangling yourself from years of mis-information and terrible dieting advice. And some of those old habits will be stubborn and can make you feel like a failure.
Some days your brain is going to drag you into those old habits. It’s part of the process, however if you continue to commit to continue inching forward. You will change and live how you’ve always wanted.
Character
You deserve to live as your true self. What you value in life, is just as important as everyone else.
Your values matter. Use them to drive you. Of course, we all want to be physically healthy and feel comfortable in our own skin. However, the physical is only a part of it.
It’s the life you see yourself living the life the want, without the burden of weight. The life where you are the person you want to be.
When your motivation is low, if you continue to see the day through following what you value, your habits will change. And so will your life.
“I have an understanding of what you’re going through because I’m right there with you. I am walking the same steps you are, I totally get it. I’m not your usual trainer or nutritionist. I’m still losing weight and I’m definitely no ‘instagram influencer’. I make ‘it’s clearly an amatuer filming’ content, so you can see someone just like you.
Because I know how you feel, even though I haven’t walked the exact steps as you. We’re similar.
We both want to age well and live a meaningful life. However, we’re weighed down by the emotional energy we waste on thinking about fat, food, and fitness. Years of worrying about all of that, has held us back.
And its kept us from not living the life we have envisioned. But I say, let’s not do that anymore. I’m here to help you retrain your brain, so you can change your habits and live how you’ve always wanted.
You’re always there for everyone else. Now it’s time to be there for yourself, and I want to help you because I know what it’s like”.
