  • You can’t top the roar of a tumbling gigantic waterfall to remind you of how wild this life is, and how small you are, in the grand scheme of things! A tiny but mighty part of a vast and incredible eco system, that we are SOOO lucky to enjoy, and are responsible for protecting. ⁣ ⁣ Abiqua is one of my favourite waterfalls to date, because the journey to this beauty was so much fun! Scrambling, scaling, and rock hopping along the river... even a rescue mission to save the camper-van from sticky mud was thrown in for good measure. A flipping good day out w/ @wildbonde! 🤙🏼⁣ ⁣ What’s been one of your favourite mini-adventures, or waterfalls!? 💦

  • Saying the word ‘badass’ while next to a bike feels a bit corny but I wanted to remind you, to remind yourself that you are one!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The way you speak to yourself matters, and positive affirmations are powerful.

I am enough and I am worthy!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Who’s here for this mantra? ✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ From others words and actions, and my own thoughts, there was a time I wouldn’t have been able to say that! And you know what? I question at least one of those a day, still. But it’s important to remember that YOU are the only one who gets to decide your worth! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 4 or 5 years ago I decided I’d had enough of the sh*tty things I’d internalised that kept me small, made me self doubt, question my dreams and put me at war with my own body. I stepped away from toxic relationships and started working on myself. I developed new habits to ignite transformation, and one of the most impactful was repeating positive affirmations to myself.
