“Finding the freedom to be me is a joy I cannot explain, after years of hiding in the dark I am now out and PROUD to step into my light”

This one is from me folks, Lyndsey, founder of Strong Like a Mutha, mum to 1, and fierce, fearless advocate of making the fitness industry a better place for all humans. I spent my life hiding who I was and 3 years ago I made the decision that it was time to show up as my truly authentic self, I have never looked back and I hope that sharing my pride and joy brings you some too <3

Strong women lift each other up!

Ladies remind yourself daily that lighting another woman’s fire doesn’t distinguish your own - in fact it will most definitely help it burn brighter. That’s a world I am so here for, and I hope you are too.

Reflections & Highlights

We’d love to invite you to take a look back at some of the highlights from SLAM this year and the epic things we have been part of - from international women’s day to encouraging you all to ditch the diet culture BS and #weartheshorts it’s been a really awesome year despite the challenges so join us for some sweet nostalgia!

Lyndsey's Big Mission

For this weeks Monday Musings we want to share an interview with our Founder Lyndsey Roberts, Lyndsey started SLAM in 2016 after the birth of her son. During her pregnancy and early postnatal period she felt incredibly let down by the fitness industry and went in search of something more inclusive and supportive of her needs. When she couldn’t find it, she decided to create it! Fast forward 7 years and she is now the creator of Scotland’s go-to company for pre and postnatal education and women’s well-being, has a global client base and is on a mission to challenge and change the fitness industry from the inside!

#weartheshorts

What do you get when you take a group of legendary humans, put them together with 4 badass female-led businesses, and head to the foot of Ben Lomond to stick the middle finger to diet culture?
