STORYTELLING + LIFE WRITING

Whether I'm writing about dining out solo and bouncing back after divorce or being child-free by choice and struggling with sexless relationships, I want to bring hushed topics out of the shadows. I've been touted as unabashedly honest, with my writing known to make people cry or cringe from the words I've splashed onto the page.

In addition to writing articles in The Independent, Metro, and Grazia, I've contributed to Cosmopolitan, Stylist, The Times, and The New York Post, among others. I've also been a featured speaker on BBC Radio, The Moth, and podcasts on both sides of The Atlantic.

A quick online scroll ascertains seduction doesn’t exactly have the finest of reputations.

When keeping close company with the likes of world-famous flirts and lotharios, not to mention deceptively charming spies dramatically swaying the tides of war, perhaps the term requires a much-needed PR makeover.

After all, the word ‘seduction’ stems from the Latin “to lead aside.”

GRAZIA

“Your social media feed may be awash with engagement and anniversary photos, but data would suggest many Britons aren’t experiencing happily ever after.

Not only are divorce applications at the highest level in 10 years — helped, in part, by the no-fault legislation passed in April of last year — but there is evidence from the last economic downturn that recessions and higher divorce rates are toxic bedfellows…”
