CLUB GLORIOUS

Welcome to the club

A creative storyteller exploring identity, creativity, longevity, belonging and what it means to live a rich and meaningful life as we grow older.

Through thoughtful, beautifully considered storytelling, she asks bigger questions about how we age in a rapidly changing world, challenging outdated ideas about what it means to be a woman in midlife, opening up conversations that matter, and creating space for people to connect, reflect and feel seen.

Her work sits at the intersection of culture, creativity and wellbeing, exploring not simply how we can live longer, but how we can live better, with curiosity, purpose, vitality and a sense of possibility. At 52, she brings a perspective that feels both deeply personal and increasingly universal: that getting older need not mean becoming smaller, quieter or less relevant, but can be a time of reinvention, confidence and creative freedom.

Running is an important part of this perspective. Not as a performance of youth or a prescription for perfection, but as a way of exploring strength, energy, resilience and freedom in midlife. Through running, she reflects on the relationship between body and mind, the joy of movement, and the possibility of continuing to challenge ourselves not to outrun ageing, but to inhabit our bodies more fully as we grow older.

Music is another important source of inspiration, a lifelong influence and a powerful way of connecting with culture, emotion, memory and people. She hosts a monthly radio show on community radio station Love Will Save the Day FM, bringing together her love of music and storytelling and exploring the way sound can shape how we feel, think, remember and experience the world around us.

From exploring the realities and possibilities of midlife to questioning our relationship with ageing, health, beauty, identity and ambition, her storytelling speaks to a generation redefining what the next chapter can look like.

Because longevity isn’t just about adding years to life. It’s about adding life to those years, and asking what might become possible when we stop seeing ageing as something to fight, and start seeing it as something to understand, embrace and shape for ourselves.

Her work will resonate particularly with Generation X women navigating midlife, but also with anyone questioning outdated ideas about ageing and looking for a more expansive, hopeful and meaningful way forward. Ultimately, for anyone who wants to live fully, creatively and courageously at every age.
