What an absolute privilege it was for me to hear from these ladies this morning
Discussing solution mindset

Jasmine Hamilton
Main Quote: "Progress over perfection. So I just do one small thing—build momentum, rather than trying to fix my whole life."

Core Idea: Realizing that capability does not require perfection or doing everything all at once. She introduced her "Distraction Toolbox"—a set of simple, healthy alternative actions (like getting a glass of water, going for a 10-minute walk, or making a hot drink) to reset her mind and regain focus whenever overwhelm or procrastination hits.

Rachael Rickard
Main Quote: "If you want what they've got, do what they do... I don't always control the first thought that comes into my head, but I don't always have to pay any attention to it."

Core Idea: Shifting from internal fear to trust and perspective. She emphasizes that 80% of life comes down to perspective and surrounding yourself with the right environment. Facing challenges requires taking a breath, abandoning knee-jerk reactivity, and having faith in a proven plan rather than overthinking or making excuses.

Diane Lyne
Main Quote: "Think about the good stuff, don't sweat about the small stuff, and just move on... You've got to be thinking ahead of things."

Core Idea: Proactive preparation and distraction management. She controls her environment to avoid temptation—whether that’s serving drinks in opaque cups during social gatherings, handing out snacks quickly so they're gone before she eats them, or saving her ironing specifically for "protein-only" nights to keep her hands busy and prevent idle snacking.

Anna Peacock
Main Quote: "You'll never get served up anything that you can't find a solution for and solve for yourself... Whatever you're feeding your brain, in terms of positive versus negative, will be your mindset."

Core Idea: Practical daily habits and neuroplasticity. She shared that how we speak to ourselves rewires the brain, and detailed how practicing a random act of kindness every day completely transformed her daily perspective. Her practical rule for high-stress decisions is to write a list or save a response as a draft, sleep on it, and revisit it with a fresh mind.

Well Jac, you are walking closer to your ultimate goal reward. But this is just a little milestone at the very beginning. So congratulations on these photos — you are looking great already. Just about 6 kilos gone and 23 centimetres gone in only four weeks!

I’m super excited for you. Just keep your ultimate goal and your reward in mind, and keep doing the do every single day. I’m so proud of you, and I know you’re proud of yourself as well

What a stunning transformation Janja! 37kg is life changing. You are a different person now - a change in your shape, your posture, your skin but your beautiful smile says it all! So proud of your achievements on and off the scales. Keep showing up for yourself, keep those carbs up and you’ll tick off all your goals.

Consistency is key and you are a perfect example. There is no match for your solution focused mindset. Your incredible transformation is turning heads but what I love most is that your head is now held high. You have so much more confidence. Keep showing up for yourself and believe “I can do this.” You’ll be in those new swimmers in the blink of an eye.

I am incredibly proud to be your coach. I’m so proud of the determination, resilience and attitude you’ve shown, especially when things haven’t been smooth sailing. You’ve continued to push through, get back up and get it done, and your ability to bounce back is truly amazing. Life isn’t always about what stops us or the challenges we face—it’s about how we choose to respond to them, and you’ve shown just how powerful that can be. Keep believing in yourself, because you should be incredibly proud of how far you’ve come!
