About the author

I'm an award-winning journalist of 21 years, author and a digital editorial expert, having previously worked as UK Executive Editor and Global Lifestyle Head for HuffPost. I’ve also published three non-fiction books and my second novel is out in 2024.

I specialise in women’s issues, diversity, fitness, pro-ageing and mental health, and have freelanced for The Times, The i Paper, Grazia, The Guardian, Red magazine, and Stylist among others. I work across written features, video and podcasts.

I’m an experienced public speaker, from doing keynotes to moderating events for FTSE 100 companies, hosting and running seminars for corporations. I’m also accomplished in broadcast, having spoken on Channel 5, ITV, and BBC News, and am a regular fixture on BBC radio.

And, did I mention I’m a competitive powerlifter?

Reviews

[Sheetal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an empowering book, reminded me of my own power and joy and not to let the world dictate it. Would highly recommend.

I think I’m slightly below the target demographic but empowering nonetheless
