About This Video

In this video I’m sitting down for a proper chat about the advice I’d give my younger self now that I’m 43. I share 10 things I honestly wish I’d known sooner, starting with the biggest one: consistency will beat intensity every single time. Whether it’s fitness, your career, or even just the small habits you do daily, it’s the little consistent actions that build up and hit that “tipping point” (I always picture it like pushing a snowball down a hill until it finally starts rolling on its own). I also talk about taking risks and not worrying so much about what other people think, because in reality everyone is usually too busy thinking about themselves. I also get into the things that naturally shift as you get older—protecting your energy, friendships getting smaller but stronger, and how your relationship changes as the kids grow up (and why it can actually be a really lovely stage to look forward to). I share what caught me off guard around 38 with early perimenopause signs, why strength training has become non-negotiable for me, and how career priorities change from chasing milestones to finding work that fits your life. And because I really wish I’d taken skincare more seriously earlier, I talk about using active ingredients consistently and my experience with Renew + Me’s personalised Nightly Active Treatment. It’s a reflective, honest video about building habits that genuinely support your future self—financially, physically, and emotionally.
