Hi, I’m Ayesha!
Welcome to She is Fierce – your resource for total empowerment. At She is Fierce, we believe that strength comes from within and there is an opportunity to feel empowered in everything you do. From practicing mindfulness and building self-confidence to learning how to establish and protect your boundaries, our programs will provide you with tools and strategies you can use no matter what the situation.
She is Fierce is all about supporting women in becoming their best self. Instead of just launching into a set well-being and mentorship plan, She is Fierce focuses on providing individual attention and customizing strategies so that each woman feels heard and empowered. The work begins by taking a look within and establishing a foundation from which to build on. We then work together to discover what ignites your passion and then we help you stoke that fire. Through seminars, workshops, and practical lessons, She is Fierce provides women with the tools they need to break through mental, emotional, and physical plateaus and work to reach higher ground.
She is Fierce is built on two main concepts: strength comes from within and empowerment in everything. This serves as a foundation to remind you that you have the power within you to do whatever it is you want to do and if you choose the right mindset, you can find every action and decision you make to be one that cultivates that empowerment.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! In the meantime, read through our blog posts and see how they resonate with you. Check out what workshops and seminars are on offer or sign up for one of our personal training sessions.
Even though times are uncertain right now, having some sort of structure and general plan can help you feel more productive and in control. The plan can be whatever you want - whatever you need to feel good, safe, calm, content. Remember, you get to choose. Don’t let someone else’s routine interfere with what you need to get through your day. Times are tough right now. Do what you need to do and know that it’s okay. #SheIsFierce #empowerment
There are many things that are not in our control, and sometimes, it may feel like our thoughts are not in our control either, but they are. It takes discipline and deliberate practice to intentionally decide whether you want to look at things in a narrow, close-minded way or open yourself (and your thoughts) up to consider potential and possibilities. Acknowledging and accepting that you are in control of your thoughts is an important step in self-empowerment. The next time you find yourself caught in an unhelpful pattern of thinking, take a step back and see how you can turn it around. @plumpetalsfit #SheIsFierce #empowerment
In honor of #InternationalWomensDay we release this reminder that women's bodies aren't objects to be touched, grabbed, or controlled. They belong to us, and we will gladly let you know if we want you to touch them. We love that #WomenEmpowered helps us all to enforce boundaries regarding our personal space or safety. And yes, men, in case you are in disbelief, this stuff actually happens to women. Like, every woman, ever, starting at an early age.

"You are what you repeatedly do" is one of my favorite Aristotle quotes. Similarly, the words you use repeatedly shape the way you think and consequently the way you feel. For the next few days, pay attention to the words you use most frequently and think about the impact they have on you. Do you see things as opportunities, chances, and experiences or as disasters, struggles, and obstacles? There are no right or wrong answers, but an awareness of how you speak (to yourself and to others) can help you decide whether you want to tweak your language. Is there a way you can be kinder to yourself? Is there a way you can be more optimistic? Is there a way you can be more realistic with the way you talk about things? Think about it and write it all down. ✨Explore your language and your thoughts for this week's journal prompt. ✨Once you start writing, it can be an incredibly cathartic method of expression. A lot of times, that can be scary. Remember that you can stop writing at any time, but I encourage you to face your thoughts and allow yourself to express them. ✨Enjoy the process of getting to know yourself. ✨I hope you enjoy these prompts. Please share whatever you're open to sharing and tag me @fiercefitfight + #FierceWriting ✨Feel free to get in touch and ask me questions, should you have any. Have fun and Happy Journaling! #SheIsFierce #EmpoweredWriting #WritingPrompts @plumpetalsfit @theprojecttrainingsystem
One of the best things I've done for myself is allow myself to be brave enough to put myself in uncomfortable positions and then learn how to be calm and patient until I figure out my next move. Jiu-Jitsu has taught me that all uncomfortable positions have an escape; they have a solution. The thing is, you can't learn those escapes or solutions until you go through the discomfort first. Doing this in a safe environment allows me to practice my skills and build my confidence (and reflexes) so that if I ever need to use them in reality, I'll be ready. It's never easy, but it's always empowering. Plus sure enough, with consistent training and dedication, I'm seeing improvements each day. #SheIsFierce #empowerment #jiujitsu #selfdefense #womenempowered @fiercefitfight @theprojecttrainingsystem

You know what’s best for you. Don’t let guilt, other people’s expectations, or imagined obligations get in the way of becoming your true, strongest self. #SheIsFierce #empowerment #strength @plumpetalsfit @theprojecttrainingsystem
When things get stressful, can you chill out and stay relaxed? It has taken me a lot of deliberate practice and conscious effort to stop myself from reacting quickly or overreacting just because things are difficult, uncomfortable, scary, or annoying. I don’t automatically go to that zen zone, but I can get there. ✨ 1st: I take several long, deep breaths. This slows my heart rate down and allows me to clear my mind and think. ✨ 2nd: I hold ice cubes in my hands for a few seconds. The change in temperature literally forces me to chill out. It jolts me back to reality and away from my anxious state. ✨ 3rd: I write. Sometimes I’ll scribble down my worries and thoughts, other times it will be more strategic planning. Regardless, the goal is to get the thoughts and worries out of my head and onto paper so I can proceed with a clearer mind. ✨ These are my top 3 strategies. What are yours? ✨ Unsure of how to find your zen but want to find out more? Get in touch! @fiercefitfight #SheIsFierce #empowerment #zen #peace #meditation @theprojecttrainingsystem

Do you ever have silent dialogues with yourself? Have you ever thought, ‘If only they knew the truth/they really knew me’? Well now is your chance to get out those thoughts and emotions out on paper. ✨ Use the following prompt to get you started in expressing all the things you’ve been holding inside. ✨ Set yourself free. ✨ Once you start writing, it can be an incredibly cathartic method of expression. A lot of times, that can be scary. Remember that you can stop writing at any time, but I encourage you to face your thoughts and allow yourself to express them. ✨Enjoy the process of getting to know yourself. ✨ I hope you enjoy these prompts.

Have you ever felt like you just haven’t been able to catch a break? That it isn’t just one or two obstacles you were facing, but it was five or six (or more)? And you knew that even though there were many more things that had been going right and 100s of things to be grateful for, you still couldn’t shake that feeling of just feeling low and overwhelmed and unsure? Can you relate? ✨ I believe that it’s important to try and push through those moments. ✨ I also believe that sometimes it is ok to take a break and wallow in the ‘suck-iness’ of it all. ✨ Life is tough. The curveballs that are sometimes thrown at us can feel heavier than the heaviest of weights. ✨ It is during moments like that that I try to scale back and simplify my thoughts and actions. I allow myself to feel the pain, hurt, and sorrow. I allow myself to be human. Then, after some time, I remember what is important to me and all that I want to achieve. I remind myself of my strengths and I tap into my support system who I know will be there to give me a hug, an encouraging word, and then push me forward. ✨ Yes, there’s work to be done. I won’t stop, but maybe I’ll just rest a little. #SheIsFierce #empowerment #StrongWoman @plumpetalsfit @theprojecttrainingsystem

If you do any sort of research on what makes people successful, you’ll find one thing that most have in common: they have a good routine.
