After baby number three, I thought I could just “bounce back” like before. Spoiler: I couldn’t. My energy was low, my brain felt foggy, my skin looked dull, and half my pre-pregnancy wardrobe was officially on strike.
This wasn’t burnout in the classic sense, I still had massive ambition and huge goals for 2026. But my body and mind simply weren’t keeping up with the woman I needed to be.
So I did something I’d never done before: a full gut health reset.
Why I Finally Committed to a Gut Repair Plan
I was still showing up, coaching clients, creating content, running my business, but I was operating at maybe 70%. I knew that if I wanted to scale sustainably, lead with confidence, and be fully present for my family, something had to change.
Enter Sarah Di Lorenzo’s “The Gut Repair Plan”, a structured, no-nonsense protocol that promised to repair gut health, reduce inflammation, and restore energy in 30 days.
The rules were simple (and brutal):
✖ No coffee
✖ No sugar
✖ No dairy
✖ No processed carbs
✔ But absolutely NO giving up
Week 1: Survival Mode (aka “Don’t Talk to Me Before My Herbal Tea”)
Days 1–4 were rough. Headaches, irritability, cravings, the full withdrawal package. My husband and kids deserve medals.
But by day 7? Something shifted.
The Results That Blew Me Away
- Crystal-clear thinking (goodbye brain fog)
- Deep, restorative sleep (even with a toddler who thinks 5 a.m. is party time)
- Glowing skin that actually looked… alive
- Consistent energy from morning till night
- Jeans that zipped without a fight (bonus, not the goal)
- Confidence and sharpness I hadn’t felt since before kids
This wasn’t just weight loss. This was reclaiming my edge.
The Realisation: You Can’t Scale a Business on an Empty Tank
Here’s the truth I now live by:
Your energy is your most valuable business asset.
You need to feel strong to show up boldly. You need to feel clear to create strategic content. You need to feel well to lead without apologising.
So many female entrepreneurs (especially mums) push through fatigue, thinking it’s “just part of the hustle”. But what if the real hustle is refusing to accept low energy as normal?
Your body and your business are deeply connected.
You Don’t Have to Choose Between Growth and Self-Care
As a business strategist for health brands and service-based women, I help my clients build marketing systems and content strategies that grow their revenue – without burning them out.
Because structure and self-care aren’t enemies. They’re the ultimate power couple.
