![]() ![]() ![]() Initially, the name was about writing love letters to our younger selves, to share all the things we’ve learned to help our younger selves navigate their lives and perhaps avoid some of the heartache and pain we’ve gone through. I now lead workshops, coach individuals and groups and host retreats in the UK and abroad. The book mixes heartfelt memoir and self-help with the intention of supporting others to find love and create lives that they love. In 2017, I published my first book, How to Fall in Love – A 10-Step Journey to the Heart. My writing has been published in Red, Psychologies, The Daily Mail, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and Good Housekeeping, among other media, and I’ve appeared on national TV and radio, including BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. ![]() I write for the national media and speak on various stages on topics including love, dating, relationships, the challenges of mid-life, self-care and wellbeing. I now coach, write and speak, from the heart. I reported on tsunamis, earthquakes and terrorist attacks and travelled the world with prime ministers, until I burnt out. I used to be a news journalist, a foreign correspondent based in Mexico and Brazil and a political reporter based in the British parliament. Since starting this blog just before my 40th birthday, I have transformed my life, my relationship status and my career. It’s about the work we have to do on ourselves to create the lives and relationships we deserve. It’s also about the pain that some of us have to go through in order to get to a good place in our lives. This blog is about authenticity, vulnerability, truth, change, blossoming, flourishing and thriving. I do not have children – the result of a complex and complicated journey that you can read about in numerous posts on this blog (search motherhood, ambivalence, childlessness and baby to find the most relevant posts). I am writing a novel (80,000 words and counting), I have published one non-fiction book, How to Fall in Love, and I have built a beautiful coaching practice, through which I support others to love themselves, create lives that they truly love and find love. I’m now 51 and married to a wonderful man, living by the sea in Dorset with a gorgeous cocker spaniel called Layla. I began this blog as a 40-year-old single woman who fully expected to be a mother, who struggled to make a romantic relationship work, who had a habit of choosing unavailable men and pushing the available guys away, who lived alone in a flat in North London and who spent far too much time doing work that wasn’t aligned with my authentic self. It’s a precious space for me to share the twists and turns of my life and everything I’ve learned about singleness, love, dating, relationships, childlessness, self-care, wellbeing, spirituality, finding and following my path, understanding my heart’s true desires and accepting my circumstances as I’ve moved into and through middle-age.
