Sleep is a superpower and probably the most important of our 5 pillars of wellbeing.

Want to be healthy? Exercise is a non-negotiable. In the next podcasts I’m talking to experts about chronic health conditions. Hear what they say about the importance of exercise.

I hear many women say they don’t have time. It’s your choice.

Holidays are important.

We need time to reset. A change of our environment. Adventures.

I’ll be making a reel about this next week and share some of the thoughts from the women I’ve interviewed for my book.

Alcohol is one of the most toxic things we ingest. But it’s so normalised from drinking every day to the weekend binge drinkers.

In December I’m interviewing Prof David Nutt on my podcast to tell us all the facts about alcohol.

Following up from my post yesterday - for sure not all post menopausal women feel fantastic.

But we can improve how we feel if we look after our pillars of health and happiness. It’s never too late for self care and self love.

What’s it like being a post menopausal woman? Many would say it’s the best time of their lives.

But some people think we should delay or prevent menopause.

What do you think? I know some won’t agree.
