Real strength isn’t built in perfect conditions. That’s the whole premise of my book — and it felt right to launch this giveaway the same way: no perfect timing, just doing it.
A client said something to me yesterday that summed up my entire week: “You have three kids, all different schedules, all figuring out different things.” She said it in awe, and honestly, hearing it back from her was the first time I actually paused to take stock of it. My youngest is one and climbing on everything, and I’m trying to find him some affordable ways to interact with other babies. My middle one’s preschool just announced it’s closing by the end of this week, so I’m scrambling to find her a new one in between work and this book launch. My eldest just started a new school year, a new class, new friends, new CCAs to figure out — and at the same time we’re exploring switching her to a local school in January, to help her integrate more into life here in Singapore. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I’m still trying to get my own training in for my sanity, and pulling together new business cards and folders for an event I have coming up.
None of it is happening in perfect conditions. It’s just happening in the middle of everything else — which is, quite literally, what this book is about.
To celebrate the paperback going live, I’m giving away 100 copies of Strength Through the Messy & Beyond on Goodreads. If you’ve been thinking about picking it up — or know someone navigating pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, or perimenopause who could use a practical, real-life approach to strength training — this is your chance to win a copy, completely free.
The giveaway runs until September 8, 2026. Entering takes less than a minute.
