My name is Chantal, also known as CC, also
known as Ronnie, or Big Ron or the King, to my coach (there is a lot irony in
that given my size).
I am the Co-Director and CEO of Ritual HQ.
Founder of Mums who Lift RHQ, one of the Head Coaches at RHQ, single mum to
Josie and Sam, girlfriend to a much younger man who also happens to be my
business partner, power lifter who somehow managed to snag a National Record,
boss lady to an incredible team, best friend to a group of the most incredible
women, but most of all, I am a woman trying to keep her shit together on a
daily basis.
This is my blog. A place where I will
provide a raw, open and honest conversation on variety of thoughts and topics.
I have been through my fair share of
challenges. Business troubles, relocations, a marriage separation, an early stage
cervical cancer diagnosis, post-natal depression x 2, injuries (SO many injuries), epic amounts of self doubt.....but none
of these things define me anymore.
They are not my identity. They do however
contribute to the person I am now.
That woman attempting to keep her shit
together.
They also provide me with a platform that enables me to help others. They provide me with first hand experience, knowledge and tools to allow me to help others become the best possible version of themselves.
I am also lucky enough to have discovered
my life purpose. I am extremely grateful that I have discovered this so early in life. To be able to help men, women and especially mothers, rediscover
their strength and confidence through a connected and holistic approach to
their strength training, health and exercise, is truly a wonderful experience
and something I never grow tired of.
I will continue to believe and fight for
people who cross my path or reach out to me, even when they have given up the
fight for themselves.
I will carry that belief for them until
they have the strength to do it for themselves.
This is my story and I welcome feedback.
