At the end of every day, before I go to sleep, I like to lie there and think about the things that I am grateful for. This act of practising gratitude is one that has helped me to change my outlook on life – it’s made me more positive, it’s helped me cope better when times are tough (and trust me, some times have been really tough lately!) and changed the way that I deal with everything from my business to my relationships.

Yesterday I got an urgent call from a Seven Sharp producer asking me to come on the show to talk about gorgeous model Tess Holliday and to give some advice to two women who had entered a beauty pageant.

They found a cameraman and a place for me to do a live cross, while I went home to wash my hair (because really, who wants to go on TV with greasy hair?) and answer a list of questions to help guide the interviewer.
