For many London mums, the idea of reinvention is not theoretical – it is lived daily. Careers pause, shift, restart, or evolve alongside family life, changing priorities, and unexpected challenges. It is within this space that Success and Self-Discovery: An Entrepreneur’s Memoir of Growth and Transformation by Steven M. Stroum finds its relevance.

Storage is rarely something families set out to organise for its own sake. It usually appears when something else is already in motion. A move takes longer than planned. A renovation spreads into more rooms than expected. A home that once felt manageable starts to feel tight. In a city where space is limited and timing often slips, storage becomes a practical necessity rather than a lifestyle…
I’ll be honest: menopause crept up on me quietly. No dramatic announcement, no official “now you’ve arrived” moment. Just small changes at first – sleep that felt lighter, energy that dipped unexpectedly, moods that seemed to arrive before I’d invited them. Like many women, I initially brushed it off as stress, busy life, or simply “getting older”.
But menopause isn’t a…
January has a funny reputation. We’re expected to emerge from Christmas glowing with discipline, armed with grand resolutions and an entirely new personality by the second week of the year. Gym adverts shout. Social feeds scream productivity. And yet, most of us are simply tired.
This year, I’m choosing a quieter approach.
As the late Rob Reiner once said, “Everybody talks…
There is a particular moment, somewhere between Christmas leftovers and the first school shoe hunt of January, when London reveals its true personality. Slightly unhinged. Deeply charming. Exhausted, but still determined to put on a show.
New Year in London is not neat or minimal. It does not whisper fresh starts. It clangs, sparkles, queues politely, complains loudly – and then delivers…
If you want to sleep well, you need to sleep in style. Style, in this case, however, needs to do more than look good. Just as luxury clothing is as beautifully soft and comfortable to the touch as it is to look at, you need bedding that feels as great as it looks, and this is non-negotiable. It’s actually better to choose sheets you don’t like the look of if they’re better quality than ones…
At a Christmas spirited health conference at the Soho Hotel on 2 December 2025, something genuinely fresh in the wellness world made its debut. Between panels on stress, hormones and sleep, I met Evera Nutrition’s founder, Mike Wakeman – a pharmacist, researcher and the sort of calm, science-minded voice you instantly trust. It was here that Mike officially unveiled the brand’s brand-new…
If the words insulation, ventilation and retrofit make your eyes glaze over faster than a double-glazed window sales pitch, you’re not alone. For many London families living in draughty Victorian terraces, chilly conversions or well-loved but energy-hungry homes, the idea of improving energy efficiency can feel daunting, confusing and, frankly, a little intimidating. Enter What the Builder…
Inflammation has become something of a buzzword in recent years, but at its core it’s simply the body’s natural response to stress, injury or infection. Short-term inflammation helps us heal. Chronic, low-grade inflammation, however, is a different story – it’s linked to fatigue, joint pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, skin flare-ups and a host of long-term health…
Some artists roar their rebellion; others let it smoulder quietly, glowing from within. Duke Garwood belongs to the latter tribe – a rare musician whose grit, gentleness and uncompromising truth-to-self have earned him a place among modern music’s most authentic outliers.His music doesn’t shout for attention; it waits, breathes, and then slowly gets under your skin. Gritty yet tender…
