Hey there, Michelle here 👋

Author and podcaster, 50+ Mum to two kids and two crazy rescue cats.

If you haven’t already, you can find out all about my books, templates and why I started Chapters & Checklists in this post so I thought it might fun here to just share a few things you might NOT know about me...

💎 I once modelled a pair of £50,000 diamond-encrusted glasses for a national newspaper article (no-one ever knew it was me)

🏍️ I almost rode my motorbike off a cliff in the Pyrenees (but it led to my husband proposing)

🌐 Before smartphones existed and the internet was something we took for granted, I was part of the team that created the UK postcode and address finder website for Royal Mail

💀 Horror films terrify me but James Herbert was one of my fav authors growing up

💪🏼 I have sarcoidosis and osteopenia (low bone density) but I'm working hard to overcome it

💡 I ran my life coaching practice for six years and before that I won a national award for blogging (remember blogging?)

😱 In my early career as a PR I walked through the Chelsea football team showers (yup some of them were occupied!)

I’d love to get to know you better now! You can’t leave comments here but please do pop over to one of my posts and let me know what you do here on Substack - what’s your passion? If you're an author, what's your genre? What's one thing people might not know about you?
