This year taught me 12 things - none of them gentle:
1. Reinvention doesn’t wait for permission
2. Fear isn’t a stop sign
3. Your body can still do incredible things
4. Consistency beats talent
5. Independent ≠ alone
6. Build the door if it won’t open
7. #1 Amazon book = dreams don’t expire
8. Kids are my greatest achievement
9. Watching them grow up is joy + whiplash
10. Motherhood evolves
11. Life changes fast (and across continents)
12. You’re allowed to grow too
If you’re in a season of change, you’re becoming.
Happy New Year ✨ #nevertoolate #NewYear2026 #LifeLessons https://t.co/hpskYqwYCJ
I loved hearing Dee Anderson talk about her parents creating #Thunderbirds - with absolutely no idea it would still be entertaining and inspiring people more than 60 years later! 🚀
Such a gorgeous reminder of the power of creativity, imagination and taking a chance on an idea. Our full chat is out now on The Gen-X-Perience podcast. https://t.co/HfV6rpkKX5 🎭

Still buzzing after guest performing with @Ramziofficial and his incredible band! 🤘 Improvised some @DefLeppard, performed my stripped-back version of Flipside, and remembered just how much I love being on stage. Thank you for having me! ❤️ @pizzajazzclub#liveperformance #80smusic
Dee Anderson’s parents had a perfectly sensible plan for her: become a continuity girl. But @Dee_Anderson had other ideas… so she secretly auditioned and won herself a full scholarship for something completely different!
The ambition and drive from such a young age is incredible - and the way she tells the story is absolutely hilarious. Such an inspiration. ❤️🎙️ #genx #thunderbirds #ladypenelope

London! I’m joining my long-time friend @Ramziofficial this Thursday, 2 July, for a special guest performance in @pizzajazzclub Holborn. 🎤 It’s an intimate gig and I’ll be doing a rare stripped-back set - a different side of me musically. England aren’t playing, so no excuses 😂
Tickets: https://t.co/MLHl1fs95r
New episode of @thegenxperiencepod is out now! 🚀 @Dee_Anderson joins Roy and me in the studio with Thunderbirds perfume, Lady Penelope makeup, hilarious stories and her glorious “Naughty Nana” energy.
But this is also the story of a woman who stepped beyond legacy, broke barriers and made her own life.
🎙️ S02E05: She Had the Legacy. She Made the Life.

Just had one of the most fascinating conversations with Adam Minto on #TheGenXperience. His take on the beauty industry, confidence and how we're marketed to today might be a little controversial... 👀
Watch the clip and tell me: is he right, or completely off the mark? #GenX #Podcast #BeautyIndustry
Adam Minto joins #TheGenXperience Podcast with a fascinating take on men, beauty and self-care. Have attitudes really changed since the 80s, or are some stereotypes still hanging around? 👀

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing, kind, generous and caring dads and father figures out there. So many families are lucky to have you in their lives and today is all about celebrating everything you do. Sending love too to those remembering dads and father figures who are no longer with us but will always be loved and missed. ❤️🥰 #fathersday
"Why should great beauty products only be for those who can afford luxury prices?" @minty70 shares the mindset that helped build a beauty empire from a simple idea: quality without the premium price tag.
Agree? 💄👇

I loved this part of my chat with @minty70. The 80s weren't just a decade, they were a collection of tribes. Punk, goth, New Romantics, synth-pop... everyone had a soundtrack and a style. Which one was yours? 🎶 #GenX#80sMusic
I quickly realised I looked like the filling in an Oreo standing between Roy and @minty70😂 What followed was a fascinating conversation about branding, beauty myths, entrepreneurship, consumer psychology and why we often pay for the name rather than what's in the bottle. Plus, Adam's favourite @duranduran song is Girls On Film, so clearly he has excellent taste. 🎶 🎙️ Episode out now! https://t.co/P4Zeyo5x6A #genx #makeuprevolution #duranduran
One mention of Doc Hollywood and I'm instantly transported back 😍🎬 Hearing @ChesneyHawkes talk about The One and Only soundtracking those opening credits with Michael J. Fox was such a great Gen X memory.

One thing I loved about talking to @ChesneyHawkes was how honest he was about the pressure that comes with a huge hit🎤 Instead of playing it safe, he followed his instincts and carved out his own path.
Such a great chat. 🎧 Watch or listen now: https://t.co/P4Zeyo4Zh2
He's also touring now so grab your tickets!

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 Over the years I’ve had the privilege of performing at so many incredible Pride events, celebrating love, authenticity, friendship and the freedom to be exactly who you are. To my LGBTQ+ friends, fans, family, colleagues and community members: thank you for your endless inspiration, creativity, courage and fabulousness. 💖 Here’s to a month of love, acceptance, equality and a lot of dancing! #pride #pridemonth
One of my favourite moments from our chat with @ChesneyHawkes ❤️ He'd already had success with The One and Only when he met his future wife... and she had absolutely no idea who he was 😅 A funny, sweet story in an episode packed with nostalgia and great anecdotes.
