I am having hip resurfacing surgery next week. Like my personality - my hip socket is SHALLOW! 😂

It’s a genetic issue. When I was young my hip would “pop out” at ballet and at uni I would “pop it out” as a party trick. Yes, I have regrets about that.

It was always “I have a dodgy hip” 🤷‍♀️

But it hurts all the time now. The ball joint is spiky and has bone cysts and instead of looking like a billiard ball looks like the Corona Virus. I’ve tried cortisone injections and they did exactly zero (except make me sob getting a 20cm needle into the space between my hip ball and socket) And my GP doesn’t like me being on anti inflammatories and codeine for this long.

Guess what stirs is up? Sitting. Sitting writing a book. Sitting at my desk. Sitting on planes (hello 40 fights in the past four months) plus strange hotel beds thanks to the flights.

My weight training has been great for it and my orthopaedic surgeon says my “prehab” has been excellent getting me strong for rehab.

I’m taking six weeks off work to recover. I plan to heal well not quickly!

I’ll be bored so I’ll probably post all about it on here. How lucky are you guys?

Also I made the mistake of googling the surgery and now the algorithm keeps showing me the surgeries. Make it stop!!

If you’re planning an event in 2026 and want it to sparkle, soar and stay on schedule (you’re welcome, event managers), I’m your woman.

I love nothing more than stepping on stage, lifting the room’s energy, keeping the crowd engaged and making sure every speaker, sponsor and moment shines.

After 30 years in the biz, I know how to read a room, hit the beats, calm the nerves, and bring the fun without ever losing the professionalism.

From awards nights to conferences, summits to gala dinners, I keep things moving, the audience laughing, and the experience unforgettable.

Bookings for 2026 are now open. Lock me in early - the diary fills fast.

Contact my brilliant agent Simone at simone@tlstalent.com.au

We had an absolute blast teaching the wonderful Rebecca Kaye from @aiowellness how to Speak with Impact.

We did an initial session via Zoom in preparation for hosting a live event. She loved it so much she flew to the Gold Coast for more!

She came in with a powerful message of guiding women through midlife transitions and left delivering it with even more confidence, clarity and spark.

We worked on her presence, her storytelling, and then jumped into the studio to record polished content for her website and socials - autocue included. And yes, she smashed it.

If you want to boost your confidence, elevate your communication and walk away with studio-ready videos next year, bookings are now open.

Come train with us and let’s make your message unforgettable.

Oops I did it again… my second time seeing Oprah.

The Brisbane show was 80% different to the Sydney show but just as inspiring.

The big message for me was reinforced: if you don’t know what to do next STOP until you do. It’ll be using my down time from my hip surgery to stop and figure out my next step.

Other messages…

Everything you’ve been through has led to the space you are in now. Honour that.

Intention principle - what you put out you get back.

Doubt means don’t.

Hold on to your centre - hold to what you know is true.

And my other favourite: Listen to the whispers.

So fun experiencing it with my cousin @courtneysowter and seeing friends @liseandsarah @stylingyou @deannemayocchi plus new friend @itswildbykatie

I bought these tickets when the tour was first announced and now wish I’d paid the extra for the VIP experience. But I’m a tightarse 🤷‍♀️

They say never meet your heroes.

I say they are wrong.

Meeting Oprah was even better than I expected.

So good I’m going again tomorrow night in Brisbane. So good. So good. So good!

This dress felt grid worthy.

I wish I’d taken better photos but I was having to much fun at the Accountability Christmas party.

Sometimes it’s fun to step out of your regular style and this @trellislanethelabel 3D pink floral is exactly that! #gifted

I have to gush about @michbroadbent and her brilliant baby, Accountability Circle, because honestly… it has turbo-charged my business in ways I didn’t even realise I needed.

Once a month, a powerhouse group of eight women gathers for four hours of pure, focused magic - the kind where you walk in with ideas swirling around your head and walk out with clarity, strategy, and a fire lit firmly under your backside.

And that fire? Michelle ignites it with the precision of a woman who knows how to get you out of your own way.

Being part of Accountability Circle hasn’t just helped me stay on track - it’s transformed how I work. It’s kept me honest, pushed me forward, and surrounded me with a sisterhood of brilliant women who cheer, challenge, and champion each other.

It’s all thanks to Michelle. Her guidance, structure, warmth and whip-smart business brain have been game-changing for me.

If your business needs focus, momentum or a gentle-but-firm shove Michelle’s your woman.

Today was our Christmas party which can I say as a solo entrepreneur is such a lovely thing to do. And my AC sisters @carolineo_hutchison and @jennifer.bicknell123 were by my side. Seriously I have met some of my closest friends and biggest business champions through AC and I’m grateful every day.

Start 2026 the right way by contacting @michbroadbent

#womensupportingwomen #business #accountabilitycircle

Oh and a special shout out to @trellislanethelabel for the perfect Christmas party dress.

Not sure if I mentioned it but I met Oprah last night. 😂😂😂

Still buzzing.

She did not disappoint. I’ve adored her since I was a kid. She’s the reason I believed I could be on TV even when I thought my weight would rule me out. If Oprah could take up space, lead with heart, and own every room she walked into, then I figured I could give it a red-hot go too. You can’t be what you can’t see.

I was invited to a VIP reception beforehand where some of the country’s leading obesity experts and patient advocates explaining obesity is a disease not a personal failing. It should be treated with less judgement.

I was there with a small handful of guests like @turiapitt @camillafranks @laynebeachley @marlee.silva

Then it was on to the main act!

I left the event buzzing - inspired by Oprah (obviously), but also by the reminder that the way we talk to each other can change everything.

I got to meet Oprah in person. It was just for a few seconds but it was incredible.

I’m not sure when I’ll get the professional photo and I’ll do more of an edit of the event tomorrow but I had to let you know how it went!

I am flying to Sydney to meet Oprah today!

I don’t get nervous often but my stomach is doing flips!

Oprah is such an inspiration to me and my career so this is a dream come true.

I had already bought tickets for the Brisbane event next week but this VIP invite came out of the blue and I’m beside myself!!

I had a blow dry yesterday as there was no time this morning, slept like a vampire to not mess it up, packed and repacked my bag, snapped at my husband because I was nervous, cleaned my jewellery last minute and generally was a mess.

It’s OPRAH DAY!!!!

And that’s a wrap!

I’ve been flexing my producing muscles working behind the scenes creating content for @matercarsforcancer @materprizehome to air on Channel Nine.

Such a great charity and I get to work with the A-Team crew (yes including my husband)

Thanks to @pauliehancock and @boydduff for always delivering. Total pros.

Let’s talk about sex in peri and after menopause - because guess what? It’s not the end of your sex life; it’s just the end of the misinformation.

I’m so excited to launch the Sex After Menopause episode of Hot Takes with @pricelineau where we get real about what’s going on below the belt… and above it.

No awkwardness, no euphemisms, no pretending everything’s “fine” when it’s clearly not.

I sat down with Dr Sonia Davison from @jeanhailes - to unpack libido changes, vaginal dryness, painful sex and the fact that communication with your partner should be happening when the clothes are on, not after a failed attempt. Amen.

The best part? There are genuinely effective treatments and solutions - and with more than 3,000 trained Priceline pharmacists and assistants - support and advice are actually accessible.

You don’t have to just “push through” or accept discomfort as your new normal.

Absolutely not on my watch.

Head to the link in @pricelineau’s bio to learn more and keep an eye out as each Hot Takes episode drops.

Today was a powerhouse day with @hearts4heart_ advocates and ambassadors in Sydney!

Their lived experiences add unmatched authenticity to health stories.

As a health advocate and journalist, I bring a unique perspective to the training and by teaming up with my friend and fellow advocate Krystal Barter from @wehumanisehealth we delivered a double whammy of information.

They nailed mock interviews and social media content!

ShellShocked Media offers full and half-day sessions for all group sizes.

We recently had the most brilliant day teaching the fabulous @rachaelbonetti how to Speak with Impact.

I adore watching smart, powerhouse women step into their confidence, and Rachael did exactly that.

We bolstered her presence, sharpened her messaging and then hit record in our studio so she could walk away with polished content for her website and socials.

And yes - she absolutely nailed the autocue on the first take. Show-off.

If you want to level up your speaking, sharpen your delivery and create studio-quality videos with us next year, bookings are now open.

A personal best dead hang today!

60 seconds!!! In January I couldn’t last once second and would just fall instantly. Last month I managed 50 seconds. So hitting the one minute mark feels huge.

Studies show mid life women with stronger grip strength tend to experience better overall health outcomes ranging from improved mobility and bone density to lower incidence of chronic disease. Cool huh?

So yes I’m proud of my grip strength improvement and yes I’m feeling strong!

Love the encouragement of @lizlipinski_ You can hear in her voice and the other @glowwithlibby gals in the strength class - not even they could believe it!

Also, I will not be able to use my hands for the rest of the day as they resemble eagle claws. I’ve tried grip gloves but they don’t work for me. So claw hands it is.

This week marks ten years with my agent @simslstyle

Simone isn’t just my agent. She’s my biggest cheerleader, my crisis hotline, my hype woman, my reality check and the most entertaining date at any boozy lunch. Honestly, I feel so lucky to have her in my corner.

She once told me created @tlstalent_au because of Jerry Maguire. Thank goodness she didn’t pick a different movie. If she’d been inspired by Titanic, I’d be clinging to a door in icy water. Instead, I’ve got someone in my corner shouting “Show me the money!” - and showing me my worth.

A decade of trust, triumphs and wild ride moments. I couldn’t imagine my career without her. Cheers to you, Simone.

And thanks to @josephdelamasa for being the right hand man for all of us.

Here’s to the next ten.

So PERI proud!

My book I’m Your Peri Godmother was named in the @audible_au Top Ten Best of the Year Wellness Audiobooks of 2025.

Coming it at a tidy NUMBER SEVEN which is incredible considering the company on that list like @melrobbins & @brenebrown

But I’d like to point out I did get beaten by @kermitthefrog yep, a frog! But hey in the book I say you have to kiss a few HRT frogs before you find your hormone prince so it’s fitting 🐸 🤣

Congrats @emrusciano who came in at number two and also addresses peri. I just ordered your book Em and can’t wait to listen. Never too much peri info out there!

I swear I only have about two facials a year - so when my favourite people at my favourite hotel @langhamsydney gifted me the Ageless Balance Menopause Facial I jumped at the chance to experience it when I was in town last week.

90min later and my skin is behaving like it finally got the memo and I felt like I’d had a holiday!

My skin felt quenched, the sensitivity stopped shouting, and the glow came back from annual leave.

If this is what supporting menopausal skin feels like, I may never leave the spa treatment room again.

I will always and forever be a Langham gal! Do you guys mind if I move in?
