Turns out, itโ€™s doing a whole lot more than helping me throw a barbell around. ๐Ÿง โšก๏ธ

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there, and while most of us know it for supporting strength, power and high-intensity training, thereโ€™s also growing research around its role in brain energy and cognitive function.

For mums especially, I love that it supports the brainโ€™s energy demands too - helping with things like mental focus, memory and cognitive function during those busy, sleep-deprived seasons of life. Of course, itโ€™s not a magic fix for exhaustion, but Iโ€™ll happily take all the support I can get ๐Ÿ˜‚

And right now? Iโ€™ll happily take support in BOTH departments!

For my training, Iโ€™m especially interested in that explosive power - those short, hard efforts where I need my body to produce force FAST. Think Olympic lifting, sprinting, jumping and heavy training.

No fancy timing. No complicated supplement routine.
I just take my creatine consistently every day. ๐Ÿค

If youโ€™ve always thought creatine was โ€œjust for bodybuildersโ€โ€ฆ this is your sign to look into it.

No punishment workouts.
No earning your food.
No trying to take up less space.

Just building muscle, eating enough to actually fuel it, getting stronger and remembering that fitness is supposed to add to your life - not consume it.

Because becoming a mum didnโ€™t suddenly make my goals disappear.

I still want to feel strong.
I still want muscle.
I still want to feel confident in my body.
I still want to train hard.

The difference?

These days, training has to fit around real life.

Some weeks are brilliant. Some are chaos. Some workouts get interrupted. Sometimes sleep is questionable ๐Ÿ˜‚ and sometimes simply getting through the gym doors is the win.

You donโ€™t need perfect conditions to make progress.

You need enough good days, repeated for long enough.

Results take time.
Consistency changes everything. ๐Ÿค

It made me more confident.

Somewhere along the way, women were taught that strength and femininity couldnโ€™t exist together.

That lifting weights would make you โ€œtoo bulky.โ€
That taking up space was something to avoid.
That shrinking yourself was the goal.

I donโ€™t believe any of that.

Motherhood didnโ€™t make me want to become smaller.
It made me want to become stronger.
Not just physicallyโ€ฆ

Strong enough to carry my daughter.
Strong enough to build a business.
Strong enough to keep promises to myself on the days motivation disappears.

This poster might look like a fun throwback to the 80sโ€ฆ

But every label on it is something I genuinely believe.

๐Ÿ’ช Consistency over perfection.
๐Ÿ’ช Food is fuel, not punishment.
๐Ÿ’ช Muscle is built with patience.
๐Ÿ’ช Confidence is earned.

If one woman reads this and stops being afraid to lift weights because sheโ€™s worried sheโ€™ll โ€œget bulkyโ€โ€ฆ Then this post was worth making.
