Related to “you’re so confident!” can we also talk about “you work so HARD” said on the gym? 😩

Oh interesting! I've also had men trying to give me tips in the gym... I'm good thanks.

Totally unrelated but my sister was actually in that big Record Breakers band in that clip! 😂🌟😍

Loved this piece - so much food for thought, as confidence is a real issue for me in various different ways. From stepping up to leadership to wearing shorts…! It’s a minefield

Loved this post. So much has changed for me about my confidence and how I view my body is through exercise too, resistance training in my case. I have muscles and ain’t afraid to show them…. And thank you for the wonderful Record Breakers clip. ❤️ Roy Castle

Hurrah for your muscles! It's great feeling like exercise is for getting more powerful, inside and out, rather than smaller.

Brilliant! Thank you. Needed to read this today. Also currently reading “lobster” by the wonderful Hollie McNish. Trying to read other things as well to make it last longer

It's a good one for dipping into and I'd recommend trying to see her live if you can - I wasn't expecting it to feel so much like stand-up comedy, she was brilliant.
