In recent years, there's been a significant shift towards women finding success through embracing their feminine flow, as opposed to the hustle culture and push energy that many of us were raised to believe in. While this approach aligns more closely with the innate nature of many women, it's clear that an element of grit—resilience and determination in the face of adversity—is still necessary for achieving success. So, why do some women naturally possess this grit while others struggle to find it? And importantly, how can we cultivate it if it doesn't come naturally?

The intricate web that the diet industry has woven around women, tightening its grip with every passing generation, has long been a topic that I have been very aware of, and a cycle that I am very passionate about breaking for my children. The pressure to be thin, to fit into an ever-shrinking mould of beauty, has not only distorted our relationship with our own bodies but has also seeped into our relationships with each other, creating a legacy of competition, shame, and disconnection. Yet, in recent years, there has been a powerful movement towards reclaiming our true selves and fostering genuine connections among women.

The reason I am doing it is multi-faceted. Since I had Savannah eight years ago, despite my diet being excellent, my body has felt out of balance. I have changed various things, but nothing has really worked. So the main pull for me was healing the imbalance in my body. Our body’s main priority when we have food in us is digestion. When we fast then we allow our bodies to focus instead on healing.
