The wonderful Suzi Grant has made it her mission to encourage as many women as possible to feel good no matter what our age. The ‘nutritionist with a passion for fashion' began her career as a journalist. She was a roving reporter on Capital Radio, she worked on TV AM, she was one of the faces of Meridian plus she reported for Radio 4. But when her mum died suddenly at 62 from a heart attack, it made Suzi rethink everything. She put the 'work hard, play hard' days of journalism behind her and became a nutritionist. She helped people and has written 3 books. Then in 2014, encouraged by her godchildren she started a blog. She wanted to share everything she loved from nutrition, fashion and style and travel and lifestyle for the Over50s. She had no idea how much this would take off. She now has 110k followers, her work has been featured in the New York Times and she's a model travelling all over the world spreading her mission that older women can and do have fun.
