I was you.
I was always anxious. The gym was always the last place I ever wanted to be. Too loud, too intimidating, too full of people who looked like they had it all figured out and I had no idea what I was doing.
I became a mum at 19. I was completely lost in the postpartum fog, trying to figure out who I was again while trying to hold it together for my newborn, running on empty every single day.
Then in 2025 something traumatic happened to me at home. I allowed a person of trust in to do a job and that trust was broken. I won't go into detail but it took everything from me. I couldn't show up for my kids, let alone myself. I was in constant survival mode.
A close friend dragged me to a kettlebell class and I do quite literally mean dragged. I couldn't get out of the car. I didn't want to go and I nearly didn't walk through the door.
It changed my life.
Not just my body but my head and most importantly my confidence. It changed the way I walked into a room, the way I talked to my kids and the way I felt about myself for the first time in a really long time.
And that's when I saw it. There was a massive gap in the industry. Kettlebell training was dominated by men and the coaching out there wasn't built for women like me. Women who are busy, overwhelmed, time poor and not about to spend their evenings prepping four different meals for the whole family.
So I built what I needed, for women who need it too. That's Girls Who Bell Society.
