I wake up at 6am. As a single mum with two young kids, I need to get up early as there is a lot to fit in. I haven’t used an alarm clock in years. Even if it’s 4am for a flight, my body just knows. If all else fails, I could be a human alarm clock.
The first 30 minutes of my day are sacred. I use two LYMA Laser Pros on my face and neck while staying completely silent. It’s my moment of mental reset.
I only drink a glass of hot water with lemon before leaving the house, while I prep breakfast for my children. I cook them eggs: fried for one, pancakes for the other. For them, I aim for protein in the morning, because I never quite know what they’ll eat at school.
After I’ve sorted school lunches and the school run, I shower. That’s a vital part of my day. I steam my face under hot water for a full minute, then finish with 30 seconds of cold water. It’s awful in winter but oddly exhilarating.
I don’t eat breakfast until I get to the office. I’m always in by 8am, the first one there, and I enjoy 15 peaceful minutes with two coffees. Only coffee will do — tea doesn’t cut it.
My breakfast varies, but I follow an unprocessed, intuitive diet. Sometimes eggs, often sushi — yes, sushi for breakfast. I avoid processed food entirely. If it’s not in the house, no one eats it. That’s the rule for my children and me.
We have workouts at the office a few times a week. It builds team spirit and it’s when I get my fitness in. We follow the LYMA Move protocol — a 15-minute bodyweight blitz that genuinely keeps me in shape.
I no longer wear wrist trackers. They made me neurotic. Instead, I use ultrasound and cellular analysis tools to measure everything going on under my skin: dermal thickness, blood flow, mitochondrial activity, elasticity. I’m 52, so keeping the dermis thick is my priority.
AI is everywhere in our business. Operationally, it’s revolutionised our logistics and supply chains. But we avoid AI in creative. Human emotion is still essential, especially when you’re selling hope, care or confidence. Tech enhances our work — it doesn’t replace the human touch.
If I’m having a stressful day, I talk to myself and reset. Getting outside for a drink helps. And I take the LYMA supplement every day, which improves sleep and reduces stress without stimulants or sedatives.
I don’t meditate. Instead, I use a technique I heard from a psychiatrist — when your mind spirals, just repeat: “I wonder what my next thought will be.” It forces a mental break. No breathwork or mindfulness app has worked as well for me.
I listen to all sorts of podcasts, but one that stayed with me is The Telepathy Tapes. It explores non-verbal children showing what appear to be telepathic abilities. I also love quantum physics content.
I’m dyslexic, so I don’t read much. But I love documentaries. And for comfort, it’s always Curb Your Enthusiasm. If I had to do Mastermind, my specialist subject would be Larry David quotes.
Evenings are inconsistent. There might be a dinner or event. But however late I get in, I shower, double cleanse, apply my skincare, and use my lasers. The LYMA Laser at night resets my skin and my mind. I process everything that’s happened in the day while lying there for 30 minutes, and I always sleep better.
You’re never too old, and it’s never too late. The power to begin again is the gift of each day. And the power to change? It’s in all of us.
