Why Raising Your Visibility Matters, And How To Do It
If you’ve ever worried that raising your visibility online is a vanity metric, or told yourself you 'don't have time' to show up online, yet you secretly know you're destined for bigger things, here’s the truth: visibility is a catalyst for change . It’s how every modern movement begins, and how YOU can make a difference. I'm going to show you how... I was joined by confidence coach Rosie Dalling and Creator and Instagram trainer Andie McDowell (@dahliabeach) on our last Rein

Why Women’s Voices Still Aren’t Being Heard — And How We Can Change That
In between Davina McCall and I, in the photo below, is Dr Nighat Arif, a GP, author and TV presenter, and when she posted on Instagram last week that no-one came to the signing of her new book, The Complete Guide To Family Health in her local bookstore, it was a painful reminder of another brilliant woman's voice being overlooked. This made me feel mad, not only because I adore Nighat and count her as a friend (I actually went to her launch party for this brilliant new book),

Why quitting is the greatest gift – and tips to quit with grace
"You have to know when to leave a party" has long been my favourite life lesson. At its core, it means recognising the moment when something has peaked – whether that is a job, a relationship, a project, a social situation – and is now on the decline. It’s a metaphor about timing, self‑awareness, and the art of a graceful exit and it feels so relevant to many of us in midlife. When I quit my 'big job' in the media, it was a full-heart reckoning. It began the morning after t

Happy International Women's Day 2026
Celebrating the women who make reinvention a reality - that's you! International Women’s Day always invites a moment of reflection, but this year feels especially meaningful to me. As I look at the extraordinary community that has grown around Rosie’s Reinvention Retreats over the last 18 months, I’m filled with gratitude for the women who have shaped, supported, and elevated this movement from day one. When I walked away from my “big job,” as Editor in Chief of HELLO! magazi

Why Midlife Demands a New Definition of Success
In midlife, when our roles, responsibilities, hormones, identity and priorities are shifting, the question of what success means to you, becomes a chance to rewrite the script you may have been living by for years, even decades.

10 Life Lessons I Didn’t Expect to Learn on a Ski Slope
After a 30-year break, a week ago, I found myself back on skis for the first time in three decades. Yes – thirty years. I went to Chamonix with Girl Powder Retreats , imagining crisp air, mountain views, and maybe a gentle glide or two. What I got instead was a lot of falling, a lot of laughing, and a surprising amount of clarity. Because here’s the thing: sometimes it takes doing something wildly outside your comfort zone to show you how far you’ve already come — and how muc

From Reflection to Reinvention: The Most Powerful Way to Begin Your Year
Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had a chance to rest, reset and recover from the festive whirlwind. To me, January always feels like stepping out of a snow globe that’s finally stopped shaking — everything settling, slowly, into place. And sometimes with a sprinkling of actual snow for some of us. Don't tell the kids, but I love the week they go back to school and I can get into a routine again. Yet January can feel like a lot of pressure too. And while the world rushes into re

The power of midlife!
