The dating and relationship specialist, and Married at First Sight expert, 50, shares what she’s learnt about life.
1. WHAT’S INSPIRING ME RIGHT NOW IS… watching my eight-year-old daughter embrace football as passionately as she embraces dancing.
2. THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP IS… check my phone. I’m currently living in a different time zone from my family, so I always wake up to beautiful videos and messages.
3. I BELIEVE IT’S ALWAYS GOOD MANNERS TO… look someone in the eye when you’re speaking to them.
4. BEING KIND IS… making the effort to understand how other people feel.
5. WHEN I WALK INTO A ROOM FULL OF STRANGERS, I… lift my chin, puff out my chest and smile – a confident posture on the outside helps me feel more powerful and influential on the inside.
6. MY NUMBER ONE TIP FOR BOOSTING SELF-CONFIDENCE IS… believing you deserve happiness and that you have all the resources you need to achieve it.
7. I’M HAPPIEST WHEN… I’m squashed under a family cuddle with my hubby, daughter and puppy.
8. I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY… “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
9. THE LIFE LESSON I’D SHARE WITH MY 21-YEAR-OLD SELF IS… saying no when required is not just okay, but essential.
10. MY FAVOURITE SUNDAY MORNING RITUAL IS… yoga, coffee, walk and a family pub roast lunch.
