ITV Interview on live UK TV – This Morning Show, March 27th.
I received an email out of the blue, with an invite from the Editor of ITV This Morning Show to feature on the regular morning program with Cat Deeley & Ben Shephard. We discussed; my midlife transformation, downsizing, moving to Portugal, my plant based diet, intermittent fasting and exercise.
I flew into Gatwick airport from Faro, Portugal and then made my way by train to Kensington, London. The sights and sounds were quite a sensory overload for me, after living in the middle of a quiet orange grove in rural Tavira, Algarve for several years.
It was strange to be back in the capital city again, 11 years after my last visit. The sky was grey, the buildings were tall and I felt like an alien in this setting.
Interview on ITV – This morning with Cat Deeley & Ben Shephard.
My life has completely changed over the past 3 years. I didn’t expect to be discussing my lifestyle with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on ITV This Morning show live on British TV. In summer 2021, I was completely lost in the darkness, struggling to find a reason to get out of bed. Fast forward to today, and I’ve written a self help book for women which will be published in September, I’ve appeared on live British TV, my YouTube channel has suddenly taken off and I’m planning my second book.
Who’d have thought that posting words and pictures on Instagram could completely change my life? I’m proof that it’s never too late to start something new and that midlife+ women have a lot to offer. My followers across all platforms are 95% women, the majority between the ages of 35 and 65 and I’m very happy to be part of a movement that shines a positive light on mature women.
My self help book, The Midlife Edit.
I wasn’t prepared for an empty nest, a rapidly changing body and losing myself in the process. Had I known in my forties what was coming my way I would have prepared, but how? My book ‘The Midlife Edit’ contains everything I wish I’d known before ‘the change’. To be clear, ‘the change’ is not just about biological menopause, it’s about the huge transformation that occurs in a woman’s life that can either take her down, or release and lift her up. I want every woman to see this phase as something to look forward to rather than fear. I will be back on TV later in the year to share more about my book when it’s published on September 26th, so stay tuned for more chit chat.
I’m here to show you it’s possible to start over and create a completely different life, but only you can create the life of your dreams.
