And I feel truly devastated. I didn’t know her. I didn’t follow her. But I know that she made a mistake, one mistake.  Like we all do. And that mistake, albeit a big one, was splashed across every media outlet in the land for all to see. She lost her job, her pride, her followers,

And as always, when a soul reveals its true spirt, the universe exhales with a sigh of relief. Relief that one more human has embraced their truth and braved the world regardless. Relief that one more soul has stood up to the beliefs that we are somehow not perfect or acceptable, just the way we

You told us to keep moving, to never look back, to make the most of every minute and to live your life the way you want to. You told us, most of all, to enjoy this life we have been blessed with. You told us, that the only obstacle in our way is the belief

You’re telling the world it’s okay to judge a new mother doing her best. And it is so not okay. No money in the world can buy you the experience your first child brings and yes, new mums probably do a lot wrong. But they are trying their best and with love, fear and worry

So you are aghast. You are disgusted at the disrespect, as a young married couple blaze a new trail for a new decade and simply refuse to accept the crappy hand you have dealt them. How very dare they stand up and say that actually, as advocates of good mental health and examples of an

So on Friday I wrote a letter to Harry, it has been beautifully received and shared all over the world with so much love and tenderness. I was blown away by the love. On Saturday I wrote a letter to Meghan and wow, the vitriol, the nastiness that ensued within minutes of posting online is

Dear Meghan, For All Those Saying ‘You Knew What You Were Doing’… when you married a Royal. For all those saying, ‘this was her choice, she knew exactly what she was getting into.’ Remember that no one, not even you, knew exactly what you were doing and what you were getting into.  Life has a

Last week I found out my child has Autism. And now I need to say it out loud. Really loudly, until the sound of the word no longer takes my breath away. I mean, I’m a mother, deep down I knew. Of course I did. But I was often convinced, by myself and others, (

So you may have read by now that Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves stepped out with his girlfriend for the first time in public yesterday – and boy did social media go wild. Why? Is it because she is a wonderful, successful artist? No… Is it because she is involved in some sort of newsworthy scandal?

Tell them how they must love theirs. Tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves –  from their tiger stripes to the soft flesh of their thighs,  whether there is a little of them or a lot,  whether freckles cover their face or not,  whether their curves are plentiful or slim,  whether their

Love it or hate it, Love Island is something which unites a huge part of the country, every night at 9pm. Whilst it comes under a lot of flack for encouraging ‘the perfect body/face’ epidemic, it is what it is (as the islanders say every 5 minutes) and it is here to stay, for now.

I have an intruder in my house. Even though this lady is residing in my house, she could at some time appear in yours. Be alert. A very weird thing has happened. A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from, or how she

The internet is flooded right now with opinions on whether or not Wade Robson and James Safechuck are telling the truth about their abusive past with Michael Jackson. I have seen many posts branding them liars and gold-diggers, I have seen many lists of facts supposedly to prove this; they lied in court (as children)

Life bites. Its preferred site is the ass, so you can’t see it coming. Whether you’re oblivious to its intent, or are conscious of its impending attack, you cannot out run it nor prepare for it. The jaws are always larger, the teeth always sharper, and the surprise always greater than what your slow mind

At least once in their life…. I went to see Calendar Girls The Musical last night and today, I am full of the joys of life!  What a feel-good, heart-breaking, life-affirming rollercoaster ride of a show it is. One that will keep you entertained from start to finish and send you out the door with

  It looks like this….like the decade’s most successful supermodel. It looks like Kate Spade, like Robin Williams, like Anthony Bourdain. It looks like me, like you, the woman next door, the man on the train. ‘Suicidal’ has no face, no pattern and often no warning. Since the beautiful, successful Giselle Bunchden, has opened up

It’s hard not to love this time of the year – the colours, the crispness, the promise of the festive celebrations ahead. But it’s also a great time to take a leaf, literally, out of Mother Nature’s book… and let go. Let go. Let go of your dead leaves. Dare to be bare. To start

Big Brother, Now It’s Time For Your Apology… Let’s have it. You are already long overdue if you ask me. I want to see you do the right thing now… 1: Play the footage to the house, to put Ryan out of his distress once and for all. 2: Remove the formal warning placed upon

If you have been watching Celebrity Big Brother you will be well aware of the current situation between Ryan and Roxanne. In fact, even if you are not watching, I am sure you have heard about it all. In short, Roxy has used her acting skills to try and tarnish the reputation, no, RUIN the

Another hero has emerged from the miraculous recovery story of the Thai football team trapped in the cave this week… Their coach. Ekapol Chanthawong lost his whole family as a child. He trained as a monk and then devoted his life to helping kids in any way he could. It is said that when the
