Charlotte Machin French is a very special member of our She Moves community - . Charlotte bravely shares her journey with endometriosis, from years of misdiagnosis to learning how to manage her symptoms through movement, nutrition, and self-care. Her story is a powerful reminder that endo is real, painful, and often dismissed. Through self-advocacy, movement, nutrition, and the right support, she’s learned to work with her body, not against it.

Living with endometriosis means dealing with unpredictable pain, fatigue, and discomfort - but movement can be a powerful tool to help manage symptoms. The key? Moving with your body, not against it.

Some days, a gentle walk or stretch can make a world of difference. Other days, rest is the best thing you can do. And that’s okay. There’s no right or wrong way to move with endo - only what feels good for you.

Endometriosis is a condition that affects countless women, yet it, unfortunately,  remains underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Today, we're sharing Danielle's story - her challenges, resilience, and advice for others navigating their own endometriosis journey.  Danielle, a cherished member of our She Moves community, shows incredible strength as she navigates the challenges of Endometriosis. Her journey highlights the necessity of self-advocacy, the importance of community support, and the ongoing effort to manage the physical and mental toll of this condition.

This has got to be one of the most common questions we get from mums returning to exercise. The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. 

Every birth, postpartum recovery, and even every baby is different, meaning the right time to take the next step will vary for each mum. There are so many factors to consider, for example birth injuries but we hope this helps you feel more confident knowing when you can progress from rehab workouts into other workouts. 

Since becoming a mum, I’ve noticed how much more in tune we get with our bodies, especially month to month. My cycle has such a big impact on my energy, motivation, and how I approach exercise. Some weeks I feel unstoppable, smashing out workouts and I'm able to do long runs, while other days my pelvic floor strength just isn't there and just rolling out the mat feels like a mission…. Spoiler alert - it’s not just in my head!

With a newborn at home, my life feels unpredictable for me, so my plan for 2025 is to begin with flexibility. I’ll begin by planning my best-case scenario workout the night before, but always have a backup plan ready. After a tough night, I’ll stick with something simple like a front-pack walk or some gentle stretching - our Mini Movement Bites are great for that, because even the smallest movement counts.
