shuvonshuvoff motorhome adventures

 Since I set off on my adventures in my Motorhome around Great Britain eighteen months ago, their have been the worst storms, with storms Brendan and Dennis being particularly harsh, the most rainfall in February 2020, since it started being recorded and a Pandemic. As if that was not enough for me to contend with, February 2021 provided me with 'extreme' weather conditions. Some of the lowest temperatures in the country were being recorded since the 1960's, as low as -23.0C, at one of the weather stations.  I did not let this keep me in the motorhome though. I wrapped up warm and went for long walks along the sea defences to Morston.  I revelled in the sheer delight of cracking the ice on top of the icy puddles. People laughed at me as they passed by, watching this mad woman crunching the ice beneath her feet. But I did chuckle to myself and wondered just how many of them would have a go themselves at cracking the ice on the next frozen puddle they came across. I am findin

 I had the pleasure of talking to Sam Palmer the creator and founder of 'MidlifeMakeover' on my Instagram live. She is all about helping woman going through the Perimenopause and menopause. Sam trained as a nurse many years ago. She worked in a neonatal intensive care unit until she left to train as a teacher at Greenwich University. Then she set up her first business, training people in First Aid. She ran that for fifteen years before selling it to set up her fitness business. She told me that her own fitness journey began when her brother sadly died at the age of 28 in an accident. She ran the London marathon in his memory. She said that through the running years that followed she had wanted to help women find recreational fitness for themselves.  This passion took over and she focussed on building her fitness business especially for perimenopausal and menopausal women. Helping them with levels of exercise that suite their needs using her nursing expertise and empathy. Sam sa

  This week I interviewed 64 year old Bernadette Connolly, who I came across initially on Instagram. I was struck by the tag line she used 'Getting older and bolder". It was a sentiment that I related to and so I wanted to know a little bit more about her. What I found out made me want to include her in my lineup for one of my weekly Instagram lives. I started them because during lockdown I was really missing meeting new and older people and learning more about them and if they had faced ageism in their lives. It was not only people with businesses or things or lifestyles to sell but also people who had done interesting things with their lives as they aged, that I wanted to talk to. Bernadette messaged me prior to the interview to say she would understand if I changed my mind and did not want to interview her, I think because she did not realise just how inspirational her life story was to me, and I hoped to many others too. I reassured her that I was very much looking forward

Last week I had a wonderful chat with Fiona Clark on my weekly Instagram Thursday live.( @shuvonshuvoff )  Fiona says she loves working with spiritual heart female entrepreneurs who want to know how to increase their vibration by letting go of the "I'm fine" mask, old energy patterns and limitations, somethings many of us can relate to. She is a Kinesiologist, Life Coach, theta Healer, Solution Focused &Energy Freedom Technique (EFT)Practitioner, who never stops being curious as to how she can help people be the best they can be. She says that her passion is to inspire and empower women to emerge totally reconnected to their inner happiness, feel energised and recover the courage to step into who they truly are.  She explained that we all have the ability to tap into our own chest of simple skills to create the life we dream off. She can help you recognise those skills. Fiona told us about her life as a British Airways hostess for fifteen years, which took her all ove

 I had the pleasure of doing an Instagram live ( @shuvonshuvoff ) interview with TraceyTait  @TraceyTait_1  about the Menopause and the problems it causes so many women going through it at work. It can be such a frightening time because they do not know what is really happening. They can suffer from sleepless nights, due to hot sweats and as a result become fatigued and forgetful and often their performance at work suffers and this pushes too many women to leave work, when all they really needed was some support from their workplace, to get through this hard time in their lives. Tracey told me that five years ago she left the world of employment to work for herself teaching business owners how to do their marketing to enhance their income. During that initial period of self employment she started suffering from the menopause and in her own words "it hit me like a truck". She said that it got her thinking to how would she have coped it she was still working in the Corporate wo
