New Job? Quitting Personal Training? – Weekly 006

Posted on 12th February 202013th February 2020by Lou Brierley

Focusing on what is important and double, if not triple, downing on it to make sure no matter what, you’ve done what you said you would. More of the same this week, but with major breakthroughs. Like mentioned last week, these weekly are now taking a slight turn as my life in South Africa settles […]

Stop Calling It LUCK – Weekly 005

Posted on 5th February 2020by Lou Brierley

IF you’ve followed me for any length of time you know I absolutely hate the word luck. This week I’ve been what some people will call lucky. It’s just a by-product of the environment and I’m seriously excited for the future. Another week down in South Africa. Another week not stabbed, mugged or murdered, so […]

Have I Become An Alcoholic? – The Weekly 004

Posted on 29th January 2020by Lou Brierley

If South Africa has taught me anything it’s how to become an alcoholic in just 9 days. No seriously. I don’t think I’ve drunk this much alcohol in 9 years, let alone 9 days. Feeling a little more settled and into a little more of a routine here in South Africa, after all, I’ve been […]

  2 Backpacks and my entire life belongings inside them. This was an adventure into the unknown, from the cold and wet UK to the windy and warm, South Africa. This week has been a good one. Leaving a lot behind and this time last week I was feeling apprehensive about what lies ahead but […]

Leaving the UK – Weekly 002

Posted on 16th January 2020by Lou Brierley

This is a week I’ve been dreading and looking forward too in equal parts. The final week in the UK but unfortunately, the final week with my little doggo, Gem. The response and feedback from the first edition of “The Weekly” have been better than I could have imagined and I am so grateful for […]

The Weekly 001 – Happy 2020 and Future Plans

Posted on 8th January 2020by Lou Brierley

Part of the not so plan, plan…

Posted on 11th February 2019by Lou Brierley

Part of the not so plan, plan… …still with me? Firstly, WOW. The support, love and engagement has been overwhelming and firmly cementing that writing and starting Explore Stronger was a good idea. (Even if the negative people don’t believe in me, funny how those people didn’t believe in The FItness Academy 5 years ago…) […]

A little bit about me… Lou!

Posted on 10th February 2019by Lou Brierley

Our first LOTR sightings… RIVENDELL!

Posted on 18th January 201927th March 2019by Lou Brierley

Friday 18th January, 2019. Yesterday (Thursday) was a bit of a write off as we seemingly drove forever and moved forward our ferry plans a day for tomorrow (Friday). We managed to see the scenic springs that have incredibly clear water and beautiful surroundings. Other than that, we didn’t “do” much. Fast forward to Friday […]

Playful baby seals!

Posted on 16th January 201927th March 2019by Lou Brierley

Wednesday 16th January, 2019. Today started a little slow with us having to stock up on food and some other bits including the services of the van. Once all done and shopped we headed on the road to pancake rocks and blow holes… …cheeky! Pancake rocks were formed from Limestone which were created by layers […]
