Style for Life

So often when we get ill or injured our first response is to stop all activity especially exercise and hope that doing vey little will allow us to heal or recover.  There is definite merit in this approach in some cases and it is important that you work with your medical professional on what works for you.  However there is much evidence that movement is one of the greatest elixers.   

 

In this weeks podcast I explore some of the reasons why people stop exercising,  give some options and discuss how we can stay active when our bodies are not performing optimally.  

Have listen and let me know your thoughts.

Having clothes that transcend both colder and warmer seasons can be challenging.  

In this episode I discuss how to wear your summer clothes in the cooler months and still look stylish. I talk about how to add layers underneath your  tops, dresses or shirts so you can still stay warm and how to remove layers when you get hot without pulling apart your outfit.  

This episode has good visuals so jump over to YouTube to see how it all works!

Such a great chat this week about styling and AI.  In this podcast Clare Maxfield (Image Innovators) and I unpack the pros and cons of using AI in the styling space.

It was my absolute privilege to have the lovely Sheena Hemens on the show this week.  

She shared her story of extraordinary resilience after many hard life setbacks then the unimaginable grief she experienced after losing her daughter Lauren.
