🟣 Do you trust me?
they always lie on Tinder
Well if it isn't my raunchy little radish! 🥬
Let’s talk about something you’ve no doubt heard a BILLION times before…
"Trust the process"
eye roll
If I had a quid for every time some gym bro in a stringer vest spouted this nonsense, I'd have enough money to buy that chocolate factory from Willie Wonka.
But here's something interesting...
I just looked up the actual definition of trust:
"Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something"
And that word BELIEF properly caught my eye.
Because how the shitting fuck are you supposed to believe in a process that's failed you more times than a Tinder date's promises?
You know when the 6ft 3 guy who’s looking for a relationship turns out to be a 5ft 2 creep who’s booked a hotel room as a “surprise”.
Let's be honest - your history with fitness probably looks like a highlight reel of abandoned New Year's resolutions.
The kind where chicken and broccoli meal prep turns into a Deliveroo subscription by Wednesday.
The kind where your new gym routine is replaced by your old sofa routine after a couple of weeks.
This is why “trusting the process” feels about as realistic as my chances of winning Love Island.
And you know what?
That's completely fucking normal.
Because every single incredible woman who joins Team Henley has been there.
They've got a graveyard of fitness journals filled with exactly three days of tracking.
They've got drawers full of "motivation" clothes that were supposed to fit by summer 2019.
"I want to believe this time will be different... but will it?"
But here's what nobody tells you about trust:
It's not about blind faith or positive vibes or writing affirmations 27 times in your manifestation journal.
Real trust is built in the boring bits.
It's that moment in week three when you realise you're not dreading your workouts anymore.
It's when you notice you don’t have to drain your will power to not dive face-first into a family-size bag of Doritos after a shit day at work.
It's the day you notice your favourite jeans fitting differently, and not because you put them in the dryer by accident.
That's how you build belief - through evidence, not empty promises.
Look, I'll level with you.
There IS a tiny leap of faith needed at the start.
That first step where you have to jump even though your brain's screaming "but what if it's like last time?"
It's like standing at the edge of the pool convinced the water's going to be proper freezing.
But here's the beautiful bit:
The moment you jump in? That blind faith bit is done.
Because then it becomes about evidence.
Real, proper, "holy shit my jeans actually feel different" proof.
The kind you can't argue with.
And suddenly?
Trust isn't something you have to force.
It's just something that happens.
So, if you want to follow a process you can trust and a coach who will be with you every step of your journey…
