Queen Elizabeth. The one constant in many of our lives. I admired her & I was fascinated by her. The Queen was special, she represented stability in an ever changing world. She dedicated her life to service. Her strength, her loyalty and her dedication were unsurpassed. There will never be anyone like her again. A beautiful soul, with a cheeky smile who loved her family, her country, horses & corgis is now with her biggest love of all, her beloved Philip. Rest in peace 💗

Like many other middle-aged men around Australia, our author was inspired to see a cardiologist after Shane Warne's tragic death. If he'd left it much longer, it may have been too late.

Around the same time as Shane Warne died suddenly from a heart attack in Thailand in March at just 52, I began experiencing worrying chest symptoms myself.

"Midlife women have a voice, we need to use it. We need to call out companies and brands who discriminate because of our age."

I see age discrimination everywhere. It is in retail, it is in marketing, it is in the workplace, it is on billboards, it is in the boardroom, it is everywhere!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. Today for me isn't just about the pioneers and those incredible women that paved the way for our generation and a more secure future, it's about all women, you, me, every single women. The women who get up, show up, work hard for their families, constantly support others, those who keep going through adversity, heartbreak, sickness, those who kick serious ass each day even when they don't feel like it, those who just manage to get by and those who push the boundaries, every women, all women, ordinary women. The women that gets s**t done, every day, all day. Never forget how amazing, incredible and fabulous you are! Today is about celebrating you. Here's to women supporting women, it's the most powerful thing we can do.

RIP mate. Gone too soon at 52, but you really knew how to live life to the fullest.

That’s the legacy Warnie leaves with me and at 55 now I don’t want to waste a second of it. I’m going to rip a leaf out of Warnie's playbook and start smashing it to the boundaries.
