If you’ve seen my knee situation lately… you’ll know I’ve pretty much done every ligament going
ACL ruptured.
Medial meniscus torn.
Lateral meniscus in FIVE pieces.
Two operations ahead.
For 15 or so minutes I thought: “This is rubbish.”
Then I reminded myself of the same tool we use in the Kickstart —
Shift Reframe .
“How can I turn this negative into a positive?”
Here’s what came out…
What’s positive about this? (A great question when you go through a negative experience)
- There is still SO much I can do.
Upper body. Good leg. Prehab. Strengthening.
- It’s making me more knowledgeable than ever about knee injuries, rehab, prehab, and what REAL barriers feel like.
- It’s helping me relate more to others.
I’ve had so many messages from ladies saying my response to this injury has helped them feel less scared about their own operations or niggles.
- It’s reminded me how powerful focusing on what you CAN do is.
It’s something I’ve said for years…
But now I’m living it every minute of every day.
- It’s made me even more passionate about helping people like you stay strong, mobile, confident and independent for as long as possible.
Because when taking a shower becomes a challenge…
Or stairs feel like Everest…
You realise very quickly how important strength is.
The lesson
You’ve always got two choices:
1) Let the setback stop you
or
2) Reframe it, take action, and move forward anyway
I chose option 2.
And this is exactly what the 28-Day Kickstart for January 2026 is all about:
- Controlling what you can control
- Focusing on small wins
- Building consistency
- Getting stronger and fitter in a way that suits YOU
- Having support, accountability, and coaching that adapts around life’s curveballs
Because you’re not always going to have the perfect week.
Or perfect motivation.
Or perfect circumstances.
But you can choose to start.
To think differently.
If you want a copy of the Shift Reframe tool from the Kickstart book, just comment or message me with “Shift” and I’ll send it.
And if you’re ready to make January different this time?
Message me “Kickstart” and I’ll send you all the info for the January kickstart so you can have a plan in place ready to start in January.
