Am I too old for TikTok?
This is the question I have been asking myself. I’m in my 40s. I’m not cool, or funny. There is no place for me here. But this isn’t sitting well with me. Age shouldn’t be a barrier to anything in my view, so why this? I have two young children who are learning the dance …

The Secrets to Feeling Fabulous in our Forties
As a woman in my forties I totally get the challenges that busy women in my age group face. Like it or not, despite our best efforts at exercising regularly and eating healthily, our bodies will change with age. Once we reach the age of 35 our body starts to change hormonally and we are …
Katy’s Ballet Journey
I do not like the gym. In fact, I have never really enjoyed exercising. I am 39 and a busy mother of two children and it is hard for me to find the time to exercise, especially when I’m not particularly motivated to do so! However, a few years ago I sustained a shoulder injury …
