Every October I shift gears – it’s time to slow down, take stock and intentionally plan what’s next.

I know what ails them and what inspires them. I understand their dreams, desires, wishes, joys, fears and quiet despairs. I know the language of menopause, […]

The first email arrived in April 2024 from a Chinese email address. The writer told me how much she loved my book, ‘The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live an Audacious Life’ and that she planned to have it published in China. ‘Scam’, I thought as I deleted the email. The second email came […]
