It happened again last week.
Someone on social commented that I looked “too thin.”
Another person accused me of Photoshopping my abs.
Someone even suggested I must be starving myself.
Let me be clear:
I lift heavy.
I eat plenty.
I nourish my body, my mindset, and my nervous system.
I rest. I surf. I strength train.
I live fully in a body I’ve worked damn hard to reclaim in this chapter of life.
But here’s the thing I’ve learned:
The more you grow, the more people project.
Because when you start choosing strength over shrinking…
When you honor your hormones, your health, your boundaries…
When you stop asking for permission to take up space…
It will trigger people who haven’t done the same.
Maybe you’re navigating menopause, divorce, or a reinvention you didn’t see coming.
Maybe you’re a retired triathlete shifting into strength.
Maybe you’re building a business that reflects who you’ve become.
Wherever you are, this is your reminder:
📣 You’re not too much.
📣 You’re not “wrong” for evolving.
📣 You don’t owe anyone an explanation for taking care of yourself.
And yes, people may talk. They may judge.
But let them.
You’ve got bigger things to do.
Here’s what I tell my clients:
Feel the sting. You’re human. You get to be annoyed or hurt.
Check your truth. Are you showing up in alignment with your values? Great. Keep going.
Use it as fuel. Every time someone misunderstands you, it’s an opportunity to clarify your message—and stand taller in your story.
Whether you’re trying to feel strong in your body again, get your mind right, or build a business that reflects who you really are — I see you.
And I’ve got space for women who are ready to go deeper.

You are not alone. And you are absolutely not too much.
Let them talk. You’ve got work to do.
