This is . Sylvie is an award winning keynote speaker. She is an innovator and a true professional.

But the thing that I appreciate most about Sylvie? Her magical talent for connection.

This suit is the perfect example of this gift of hers. Ten years ago she was so inspired by Mark Scharenbroich’s “Nice Bike” keynote that it changed the trajectory of her career.

This year, when she was being honoured with the speaking industry’s highest honour by the , she connected the dots: my writing with Mark’s words and her incredible style.

It was truly an honour to create this custom drawn suit for Sylvie and to be there to celebrate her incredible achievement and dedication to this industry.

Here’s to more Sylvie magic 🪄 ✨⭐️

IWD 2025 to me is a celebration of the incredible women in my life who shine their light on me, and all of those around them, even when it feels so hard.

I’m surrounded by a dazzling community of women in my personal and professional lives, and today I celebrate them all. ❤️

Thank you to poet for these beautiful words

This is 47.

Weirdly, all of my life, I’ve looked forward to this age. It’s always been my favourite number - it’s a prime number, it’s made up of my two fave numbers, it looks great in calligraphy…(you get how my brain works🤪) - and here I am.

And it feels wonderful.

Somewhere along the way, we got the idea that it was wrong for women to get older. That’s dumb.

Yes, I am thrilled to be in bed early, and feel my muscles when I do things sometimes…. And I also feel so much more at home in my own skin and soul.

It’s a bloody huge privilege to get older and I am celebrating that today and this entire year, starting with a collection of some of my favourite moments from 2024 that brought me here.

So cheers to 47 🥂🍾

Have you heard about the trendiest word of 2025?

It’s “misogi” and it’s a Japanese Shinto concept of difficult chalk gets in nature to clean off, or purify, the contamination caused by modern conveniences (who me love modern conveniences?!).

It has at its (today’s meaning) core an ethos of finding a very hard physical challenge that you may not be able to complete.

Or as - author of The Comfort Crisis - puts it, two tenets:

1) Make it really hard

- and my personal favourite -

2) Don’t die

Embracing this, today my dear friend of 30+ years and I signed up for a 50km trail race 180 days from now.

We are both pretty athletic but the last few years, for me at least, have not been top-of-the-pops when it comes to maintaining my fitness.

Can we do it? Not sure. Last year’s 23km almost killed me (.sisco seemed to recover faster than me!) but I guess we will see…

This also coincides with one of my other goals for 2025: do more cool s**t with people I love. This ticks that box, too.

What is in store for you for 2025?

What’s your 2025 misogi?

What do you want to do more of?
