Challenges, Community, Movement
18 August, 2026
Words by Em Armstrong
Me writing this blog feels a little emotional, to be honest… The last 2 years really have just been a weird time for me… well, the last 4 years to be 100% honest with you. With my fertility struggles, and finally being blessed with getting pregnant with IVF (modern medicine is amazing)… but then having a 1 in 1000 women’s complication with the arrival of Sonny, my second baby. You could say, it wasn’t quite the experience I thought it would be.
Three months postpartum now, I have struggled to get back into movement so much more than I thought I would. I would say I’m an extremely confident person, yet, I have never felt less confident within myself. And this is exactly why I wanted to create a movement called “START AGAIN”, as I know that so many women have the same struggles with finding movement again.
Not only just after having a baby, but just when things happen in life and self-care for yourself always seems to go first. But I am at a point where I need to get my spark back and feel confident again.
My body, mind and soul need movement so I can feel like the best version of myself, for my family, business and my amazing Saltbush community.
So, if you are reading this and can relate to any of the above, you aren’t alone. STARTING AGAIN is HARD! But I am hoping that we can START AGAIN together with movement and we can cheer each other on.
The START AGAIN MOVEMENT will look a little like…
So, if you are still reading this and are keen to START AGAIN, get some confidence back with your movement and feel like yourself again — I am SO excited to be doing this with you. Honestly, it makes me a bit emotional… just because this community is just so bloody amazing!
We start on Monday 24th August — YEP, next Monday! I was going to start on 1st September, but I think we need to MOVE QUICKLY!
HOW TO SIGN UP…
Sign up to The Saltbush Squad + register for the movement via the “REGISTER NOW” button too. If you are already in The Squad, just click “REGISTER NOW” and I’ll add you to the email list…
Once you sign up and register, you’ll receive an email with all the information, but flick me an email or DM if you have any questions — or click the “QUESTIONS” box below.
SO BLOODY EXCITED!!!
And let’s rip off this bandaid together!
Big love. Em xx
PS: If you are reading this and you are a Studio babe, you can 100% still join in the fun. All of the teachers can adapt and modify the flows for ALL women, and we want you to get your spark back too. If you can’t commit to the 3 classes per week in the studio — try 1 x studio flow a week and jump online for the other 2 classes, and you can do the walking with the online community too in The Saltbush Squad.
PPS: I have used some of my favourite pictures over the years in the blog post, to reinforce to myself that I too can be the best version of myself – I just need a little bit of help to “START AGAIN” too – I hope this inspires you too. Em xx
