👋 𝑯𝒆𝒚, 𝑰’𝒎 𝑬𝒍𝒔𝒂! 𝑳𝒆𝒕’𝒔 𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳… 10 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑫𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑴𝒆!

I’m Elsa, Founder of Eat Real Cairns. I’m so grateful for the abundance of new followers we’ve had recently.

Thought it was time to share a little more about me!

So here are 10 things you probably didn’t know… some may surprise you! 👀👇

1️⃣ I’m a proud mama of three. My eldest is 23 (yes, I have an adult child!), my middle one is 12, and my youngest is 6 going on 16. 😅

2️⃣ My husband is my rock… and also blames me for his grey hairs. Fair enough. 😂

3️⃣ I was born in the Philippines but grew up in PNG before moving to Australia in 1986. Fitting in at school was rough, but it made me who I am today.

4️⃣ I left home at 17, supported myself through private school and business college, working two jobs to make it happen. Hustle is in my DNA!

5️⃣ My struggle with food and body image started when I was just 6 years old. It took me 25 years to truly understand how food affects not just our bodies but our minds too.

6️⃣ I’ve been a single young mum and later found love again, building a family in a stable, loving home. Life has given me both challenges and blessings.

7️⃣ I’m all about movement. CrossFit, Muay Thai, Olympic lifting, Zumba, running… you name it, I’ve tried it!
Training is my therapy.

8️⃣ People say I’m energetic, crazy, blunt, kind, and competitive. I say I’m just real. Life has shaped me, and I embrace every part of it.

9️⃣ I created Eat Real Cairns because I wanted to make healthy eating simple for busy people. No stress, no guilt!. Just real, wholesome food without the added preservatives and chemicals.

🔟 My mission? To change lives through food, support small businesses, help the younger generation gain real-life skills, and give back to the community.

Now that you know a little about me, tell me something about YOU! 👇💬

Happy Sunday…

Another great week at our “ One Bite At A Time” program.

This isn’t a tick and flick cooking program it’s a time and place where everyone can come in be accepted, find their confidence and in the same time learn new life skills.

Sam & l saw a need in our community for those who needed to connect, learn everyday skills. We created this program where they learn to cook/ budget/ meal plan and be able to engage with different people & environment an opportunity that they would never have.

As the facilitator we just don’t rock up and cook. It takes great planning to make sure we give everyone the best experience that day by working around every single person needs where it be it social, emotional and social needs.

Every session everyone walks out not only feeling good about themselves but also we can see the skills they are gaining. That keeps us going each week.

Thanks guys for all your support.

Elsa

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 & 𝑷𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆

Life isn’t about just one thing.

It's about 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Over the years, I’ve realised that everything falls into place when I take care of these five areas - 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝, 𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙, 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝.

🟢 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: CrossFit and daily movement aren’t just workouts for me. They’re a commitment to my well-being. They give me the energy, discipline, and resilience I need to show up in all areas of life. Taking care of my body isn’t just about looking good. It’s about feeling strong and capable every single day.

🟢 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆: �As a wife, my greatest calling is to love, serve, and support my family. But I’ve learned that I can’t pour from an empty cup. When I care for my health and mindset, I become a better wife, leader, and role model.

🟢 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Running a business is like training a WOD. It takes consistency, effort, and a growth mindset. The lessons I learn through fitness…pushing through discomfort, setting goals, and showing up even when it’s hard, are the same ones that help me build and grow my business.

🟢 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵: ��My Christian values guide everything I do. They remind me that my purpose isn’t just about personal success. It’s about serving others, lifting people up, and using my gifts to make an impact. When faith is at the centre, everything else aligns.

At the end of the day, it’s all connected. You can’t have success in one area while neglecting the others.

Prioritising these five pillars has helped me create a strong, aligned, and deeply fulfilling life.

What areas of your life need more attention right now?
