The kind of tired that doesn't show up on a sick note


Hey Reader

How are you doing today? Middle of the week or is a Woooooo Wednesday?

I want to talk about tierdness, because there's a very specific kind of tired that doesn't show up on a sick note.

It's not the kind where you call in, pull the duvet over your head and eat biscuits until Thursday. It's subtler than that. It's the kind where you're still hitting targets, still showing up for everyone, still the one holding it all together, and from the outside, nobody would know anything was off.

But you know.

You know because the energy you used to just have, the kind that you didn't need to bank or struggle with at 6am, the kind that didn't require a full tactical review before a Tuesday afternoon, has quietly gone missing. Now you're not entirely sure when it left or where it went, only that you'd quite like it back.

Summer has a way of making all of this feel louder, doesn't it?

Suddenly there's a case to pack, a swimsuit to wear, and a holiday to actually enjoy, rather than spend the first three days horizontal catching up on sleep whilst your family asks if you're "okay" in that slightly concerned tone that gets on your pip and makes you want to stage a disappearing act.

You'd like to be present for these 2 weeks in the sun, fully energised and comfortable in your own skin, living it.

That's not too much to ask, is it? And it's absolutely still possible.


So this week, I'm doing something I don't do often.

From today until 7th July only, I'm offering 6 months of 1:1 StrongHer coaching for the price of 5.

That's £996 instead of £1,200, or if you'd rather spread it, £166 per month.

Six months. Starting NOW in July, taking you all the way through to Christmas, but you only have ONE week to claim it.

This isn't a "get your body beach ready" countdown, if that's what you're after, the internet has approximately four million of those and not one of them accounts for the fact that your physiology has genuinely shifted since your 30s and the old playbook simply doesn't apply anymore.

This is a proper recalibration. Built around the StrongHer FAB Method:

Foundation — I start with the basics your body is actually asking for right now. Sleep that holds. Blood sugar that doesn't abandon you at 3pm like an unreliable colleague. Nutrition that fuels rather than restricts. Getting these right changes everything downstream; your focus, your stress response, your ability to feel calm and capable rather than wired and depleted. (Yes, even the coffee timing matters. We'll talk.)

Alignment — this is where you rebuild capacity rather than just burn energy. Strength training that protects your muscle mass and your metabolism. Recovery that's intentional rather than accidental. And crucially retraining the story running on a loop in the background, the one that tells you to push harder when your body is asking for something smarter.

Breakthrough — ownership. Of your time, your energy, your decisions, your sense of self. The audacity to take up space again; at work, on holiday, in your own life. The version of you who walks into the second half of the year properly resourced, not just relieved to have survived the first.

By the time you're clutching your passport to your chest and throwing that case in the boot, you won't be hoping you'll cope.

You'll already be her.

Not smaller. Stronger. That's the whole point.


CLAIM YOUR FLASH SPOT — £996 FOR 6 MONTHS

Or pay monthly at £166, just let me know which works best for you.

This offer closes at midnight on 7th July and spaces are limited because this is 1:1 it's just you and me, doing the actual work together.

If you've been sitting on the fence, wondering whether now is the right time, hit reply and tell me what's going on. I read every single one personally, and I'd rather have a two-minute conversation than let you miss this because of a question I could've answered straight away.

If you want to chat, just book a 1:1 call with me here

With love, and glass of Rosé

P.S. If your inner voice just said "maybe in September", that's the same voice that said it in January. July works. I promise.


My gift to you
