Having worked for years in male-dominated spaces, and later navigating motherhood alongside the pressures of corporate life, she became increasingly passionate about supporting women in a more meaningful way.That decision eventually led to the creation of Body-Strong - a women’s strength and wellbeing community focused on helping women feel stronger, more confident and more connected to themselves.Whilst strength training sits at the centre of her work, Bella is most passionate about the mindset and inner work necessary for lasting change. True transformation is about far more than fitness alone, which is why her work focuses not just on helping women become physically stronger, but on rebuilding confidence, self-belief, identity and the way they see themselves.Bella works with women both in person and online, helping them build strength, confidence, and lasting change from the inside out.Website: www.body-strong.orgInstagram: @body.strong_coachingFacebook: Body-Strong📥 RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS If this episode resonated, here’s where to go next: 🎧 Explore more episodes of How to Reign When it’s Raining 💌 Join our newsletter She Reigns for weekly insights and tools  📲 Connect with us on Instagram: @reignwhenitsraining  ⭐️ If you enjoyed this episode, share it or leave a review - it helps more women like you find us!
