Why Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start (and how to join our 8-week challenge)
Winter is over. The mornings are getting lighter, the days are stretching out, and suddenly it feels easier to get outside again. But if you’re like so many women I work with, winter might have left you feeling stuck: heavier meals, cosy nights in, a little less movement, and that voice in the back of your mind saying I’ll get back on track soon.
Here’s the thing: you don’t need to wait for Monday to start over. Spring is the season of fresh starts, and that’s exactly why I created the 8-Week Fresh Start Spring Challenge — to give you a proven framework, flexible meals and the daily support you need to finally see progress that sticks.
Why so many diets don’t last
If you’ve tried low carb, cutting calories to almost nothing, or pushing yourself with endless cardio, you already know: restriction never works long term.
What happens?
You’re hungry, tired and moody.
Your metabolism adapts and slows down.
You end up overeating later.
You’re left feeling frustrated, like you’ve failed… when really, the diet failed you.
The good news? You don’t need another diet. You need a strategy that works with your lifestyle, not against it.
The fresh start framework
The Spring Challenge isn’t about overhauling your entire life. It’s about small, sustainable steps that add up to big change.
Here’s what you get:
8-week meal plan with macro-friendly recipes, shopping lists and batch-cooking strategies
Family-friendly recipes you can actually enjoy, with flexible swaps for your favourites
Group support in a private WhatsApp chat, so you’re never doing it alone
Guidance from a nutrition coach who’s here to help you stay consistent (that’s me!)
Progress tools like measurements and photos, so you see results beyond the scale
Why it works
The challenge is built on flexible eating. That means you’ll still enjoy your favourite foods — yes, even pizza, pasta or chocolate — without guilt or the “all-or-nothing” mentality.
You’ll learn:
How to balance your meals so you stay satisfied
How to fuel your body properly instead of under-eating
How to stop starting over every Monday and finally build momentum
When you combine this with accountability and support, you’ll be surprised at just how much progress you can make in 8 weeks.
What you’ll notice
Everyone’s journey looks different, but here’s what past participants have shared:
Clothes fitting better, especially around the hips and waist
Energy levels increasing instead of the mid-afternoon crash
Less food guilt and more confidence in food choices
A real sense of control around food (no more “I’ve blown it” moments)
And yes, the scale often moves, but more importantly, your mindset shifts. You stop obsessing over numbers and start focusing on how you feel.
Progress beyond the scale
One of the first things I’ll encourage you to do is take photos and measurements before we start. Not for anyone else’s eyes, just for you.
Because the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. You’ll see change in your photos, in the way your clothes fit, in your energy, in your confidence — often long before you see it reflected in a number.
Ready for your reset?
The Fresh Start Spring Challenge begins Monday 8 September — but you don’t have to miss out if you’re not ready on day one. You can join us once we’ve started and still get your full 8 weeks of support, recipes and results.
It’s a one-off payment of A$137 — no subscriptions, no hidden extras. Just a clear plan, supportive community and the reset you’ve been craving.
