Colleen Strauss - Life Coach

Growth and contribution go hand in hand.
If you’re not growing, you’re slowly fading—this applies to everything on this planet. You are either moving forward or standing still… and the choice is yours.

Live life fully. Keep learning, keep evolving, keep pushing forward.
Choose growth. Choose purpose. Choose life.

Who could you be in the absence of your concerns?

Something we all need to remember

It’s not about the mistake, it’s about what you do next.

🌟 The Little Things That Feel So Big (Part 2) 🌟

Here’s the truth about weight loss:
The scale doesn’t just head one way — down.

There are mornings when you step on and your heart sinks, because instead of celebrating a drop, you’re staring at a number that’s crept up.
And if you’re not careful, that number can undo your joy, your drive, and your belief in yourself.

But here’s what I’ve learned — if you stay anchored in the little wins, those moments on the scale don’t have as much power over you.
Because the journey is not just about the number — it’s about the life you’re gaining back piece by piece.

When I first started, I was told I needed to lose 65kgs.
Honestly? That felt impossible.
How do you even wrap your head around losing a whole person?
I couldn’t.

So, I set a smaller milestone: 10kgs down.
That felt like something I could reach for.
But oh my word… that first 10kgs felt like it took forever.
I hovered between 9.5 and 9.8kgs for weeks. It was frustrating, almost maddening.

And looking back now, I think it was more mindset than anything.
I was waiting for permission from the scale to believe I could do this.

But the day I finally stepped over that 10kg mark, everything shifted.
It wasn’t just a number — it was proof.
Proof that even if it felt slow, even if it felt endless, I was moving forward.

And from there, my next goal became to see double digits on the scale again.
That milestone, honestly, deserves its own post (coming soon 😉).

✨ So if you’re stuck, hovering, or frustrated — keep your eyes on the little wins.
The scale will dance, it will go up and down, but progress doesn’t always look like a straight line.
Sometimes, it’s hidden in those quiet shifts, the almosts, and the moments where you don’t quit, even when it feels impossible.

Because one day, you’ll step past that milestone — and it will mean more than you ever imagined.

And as I share these pieces of my own journey, I can honestly say this:
The Re-Discovering You coaching program I designed a number of years ago now carries so much more meaning when I facilitate it. I’ve lived the lessons, faced the battles, and celebrated the victories — and that changes everything.

It’s a 12-week program available online, or in person if you’re near Howick.
