Greece, you’ve been an adventure! 🇬🇷❤️

First stop, Santorini, where Leah and I decided an epic walk to Oia and back was a good idea. 😂 Absolutely stunning views and worth every step!

Then onto Paros, which has quickly become one of my favourites. Beautiful location, gorgeous vibe and somewhere I could easily spend more time.

Next was Ikaria, one of the world’s Blue Zones, known for its longevity. We were lucky enough to chat with a local woman involved in the Blue Zones work, and when we asked what she thought was most important, her answer was simple: community. People looking after one another. ❤️

Ikaria felt so authentic and untouched. Although those narrow mountain roads with sheer cliff edges had my heart in my throat! 😳😂

And finally, Athens! Absolutely loved the energy of that city. Probably lucky I wasn’t there any longer or I might have got myself into trouble. 🤣

But looking back, the best part wasn’t just the incredible places.

It was the fun, the laughter, the adventures and the memories made with people I love.

Life is precious. Spend time with the people you love, try new things and step outside your comfort zone every now and then. That’s often where the magic happens. ❤️

Come for a run around Paris with me 🇫🇷🏃‍♀️

Our last morning here before heading to Santorini, so I thought I’d squeeze in one final look around the city.

And what a way to start the day. ❤️

I’ve been a little quiet on here because I’ve been busy doing exactly what I talk about… living life.

This is your life. Live it.

First instinct… don’t overthink it 😂

If I could wave a magic wand 🪄 and give you just ONE of these right now, which would you choose?

Extra points if you tell me why 👇😉

14/09/2026

Protein.
Fasting.
10,000 steps.
Strength training.
Cortisol.
Creatine.
Zone 2.
Supplements.
Eight hours sleep.
Cold plunges…

Bloody hell. 😂

There’s probably never been more information available about health, and yet sometimes I think all that information is making us more confused about what we actually need.

Especially as we get older and our bodies, lives and priorities start changing.

After 20 years in health and fitness, I’m increasingly convinced that looking after yourself isn’t about trying to do everything.

It’s about understanding what you need now and finding a way to make the important things work in the life you actually have.

Because the perfect health routine that you can’t sustain isn’t particularly useful.

And none of us needs another 17 things to feel guilty about not doing. 😂

I’m curious, what part of looking after your health feels the most confusing at the moment?

The juggling act can send you a little crazy… 😂

We talk a lot about how much women are juggling.

Work. Family. Relationships. Ageing parents. The house. Our health. Everyone else’s stuff.

But I had a conversation this week that made me think about it a little differently.

Maybe it’s not just about how many balls we’re juggling.

Maybe it’s also about how many we’re actually willing to let someone else hold.

Because when you’ve spent years being the capable one, the organiser, the fixer, the one everyone relies on, letting go isn’t always that easy.

How many times have you said:

“It’s just easier if I do it myself.” 🙋‍♀️

I know I have.

And maybe sometimes we actually like being needed. We’re good at it. It can become part of who we are.

So when someone says, “You need to make more time for yourself,” it sounds simple enough.

But making room for ourselves sometimes means being willing to let go of something else.

Maybe we don’t need to get better at juggling.

Maybe we need to decide which balls we don’t need to keep holding. ❤️

I’m curious about this one…

Are you good at letting other people help, or are you an “I’ll just do it myself” woman? 😂

Today feels like a good reminder that dads need looking after too. ❤️

I talk a lot about women making space to look after themselves, but today seems like a pretty good day to remind the men in our lives that they’re important too.

Especially the ones who are very good at working, providing, helping everyone else and perhaps not quite as good at looking after themselves. 😂

Having seen Dad go through some health challenges of his own, I’ve become even more appreciative of something we can so easily take for granted..

having the people we love here, and healthy enough to enjoy life with us.

Because health isn’t only about living longer.

It’s about being well enough to enjoy the life we’re living.

To travel, laugh, spend time with people we love, make memories and keep doing the things that make life good.

So to all the dads out there, look after yourselves too.

You’re pretty important to someone. ❤️

And to those whose dads aren’t here today, I hope Father’s Day brings a smile with some of the good memories too.

Happy Father’s Day. ❤️

When did we get so afraid of asking for help?

I found this old photo and it made me laugh. 😂

Clearly on this particular night I had absolutely NO problem accepting assistance.

But somewhere along the way, so many of us get really good at being the capable one.

The one who organises everything.
The one who remembers everything.
The one everyone calls.
The one who checks everyone else is okay.
The one who says, “It’s fine, I’ll do it.”

And eventually we get so used to doing it all that asking for help can feel harder than just doing the bloody thing ourselves. 😂

Maybe we don’t want to inconvenience anyone.

Maybe we think we should be able to handle it.

Maybe we’re so used to being needed that we’re not very good at saying “Actually, I need something too.”

But looking after yourself isn’t always another thing to add to the list.

Sometimes it’s letting someone else take something off the list.

Accept the offer.

Ask for the hand.

Let someone else organise it.

Let someone look after you for a change.

You don’t always have to be the one doing the looking after.

Although being hand-fed by two waiters may be taking it a little far. 😂

Are you good at asking for help or are you an “it’s fine, I’ll do it” woman?

Anyone else suffering from a case of Shouldacouldabutdidn’t? 😂

There’s SO much information out there about everything we should be doing to look after ourselves.

More protein.
More water.
Lift weights.
Get your steps.
Meditate.
Sleep more.
Drink less w**e. 😬🍷
Make more time for yourself.
And of course… stress less about all the things you should be doing. 😂

The thing is, most of it is good advice.

But you don’t have to do ALL of it at once.

Looking after yourself shouldn’t become another overwhelming list of things you feel like you’re not doing well enough.

Pick one thing.

Start there.

Let it become part of your life.

Then maybe add another.

Small changes count too. 💚

What’s one thing on your “I really should…” list? 😂

20/08/2026

🐘 Let’s address the elephant in the room…

“Why do I keep putting on weight?”

I hear this from so many women over 40.

“I’m eating pretty well.”
“I’m exercising.”
“I’m doing what I’ve always done.”

So why isn’t it working anymore?

And this is where I think we need to be careful.

Because frustration with our weight can very quickly turn into frustration with ourselves.

We become harder on ourselves.

We avoid photos.
We hide under clothes.
We stop feeling comfortable in our own skin.

And sometimes we start believing that somehow we’ve failed.

But can we stop giving that little number on the scales so much power?

That number doesn’t define you.

It doesn’t tell you how strong you are.
It doesn’t tell you how fit you are.
It doesn’t tell you how much energy you have.
And it doesn’t tell you the full story of what’s happening inside your body.

If you’re strength training and building muscle, for example, the scales may not move the way you expect, even when your body composition is changing.

The scales are one piece of information. They’re not a scorecard for your worth.

And that doesn’t mean we pretend weight doesn’t matter.

If you want to lose weight, feel healthier or feel better in your clothes, that’s completely valid.

But maybe we need to widen the goal.

Am I getting stronger?
Do I have more energy?
Am I sleeping better?
Am I nourishing my body?
Can my body do the things I want it to do?

Because looking after our bodies after 40 isn’t just about making them look good.

It’s about building a body that allows us to live well.

To travel.
Hike.
Dance.
Play.
Try new things.
Say yes to adventures.

And hopefully still be doing all of those things for many years to come.

Your body isn’t an ornament. It’s the vehicle carrying you through your life.

So yes, look after it.

Challenge it.
Strengthen it.
Nourish it.

But maybe it’s time we stopped judging it only by what it weighs and started appreciating it for everything we still want it to do. 💚
