As a gift for my paid subscribers who helped keep the lights on in 2025, ahead of the publication of my non-fiction book She Wanted More, which is about reimagining life and raising our expectations as women especially in our 40s, 50s, and 60s, I wanted to share an exclusive extract which features an interview with the bestselling author and all-round legend, Marian Keyes, 62.

There are parts that didn’t make the final edit of the book - especially around writing books - so I hope you enjoy, and feel your sails billow with her unapologetic, wise words!
