This isn’t easy to write.
But it’s real. And it’s time.

In the coming months, I’ll be making a big move: I’m relocating from South Africa to the UK.

Even typing that feels surreal.
Because this isn’t just a logistical decision—it’s a life decision.
One rooted in ambition, grief, and something I’m excited to admit is also creeping in: expansion.

The truth behind the move

I’m not leaving because I’ve outgrown South Africa.
I’m not leaving because I’ve “found something better.”
I’m leaving because life whispered something to me—again and again—until I had no choice but to listen:

“You’re ready for more. Even if it doesn’t look like you thought it would.”

This decision came out of deep reflection. Out of noticing the quiet ache that had been building beneath the surface—the moments of burnout, of disconnection, of going through the motions in a sport and life I love deeply.

It’s hard to admit those moments, especially when you care so much.
But here’s what I know: those moments matter. They’re messengers.
And when you start feeling like the version of success you built no longer fits—you don’t shrink to stay safe.
You expand.

What this means—for you

If you’re one of my South African clients—please hear this:
I’m not leaving you.

This next chapter isn’t about disappearing or closing the book.
It’s about building a new format that allows me to support riders more deeply, more intentionally—and across continents.

That’s exactly why I’ve created my new small-group coaching model, and why I’ve launched Foundations of Focus as the first offering in this expanded framework.

It’s a 6-week mindset coaching experience that blends personal connection, structured support, and mental performance tools that actually make a difference in how you ride and live.

This work is available to South African riders. It’s designed with you in mind.

You’re still part of this. Always will be.

If you’re feeling a shift in your own life…

Maybe it’s not a move.
Maybe it’s a quiet knowing that something needs to change.
Maybe you’re in a season of deep tiredness. Disappointment. Or just that weighty feeling of “this isn’t how I thought it would feel.”

I want you to know: that’s valid.
And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

This is exactly the kind of season Foundations of Focus was made for.

Your next step (if it feels right):

It all starts with a free, 30-minute Mindset Mapping Session.
Just you and me, talking about where you’re at, what’s feeling heavy, and what might need to shift for you to feel clear and confident again.

No pressure. No expectations.
Just space, insight, and a possible turning point.

This move is big. It’s bittersweet.
But it’s not a goodbye.

It’s a widening of everything I’ve already started—with you.
And I can’t wait to walk this next chapter with you by my side.

With love and courage,
Linda
