Come and join the conversation with the utterly iconic Nicky Hambleton-Jones!

Best known as the host of Channel 4's 10 Years Younger, Nicky has some incredible strings to her bow! We chat all about the different hats she wears such as being a stylist, TV presenter, fashion Director at Platinum Magazine and author, and nothing that makes her happier than making someone over. She is dedicated to showing people the true transformations that can be achieved from the outside in.

We delve into her passion for fashion that was evident from being a young girl growing up in South Africa, to graduating with a degree whilst she enjoyed but didn't feel like it was truly lighting that fire within her. She tells me of her move to London, business school and then a journey into management consulting.

After a spell of travelling the world and living in places like San Francisco, New York and Luxemburg, Nicky knew that there was something missing for her, something she knew she had to pursue. Her passion for fashion was burning brighter and she knew she needed to listen to her heart.

A shock redundancy was exactly the catalyst she needed, and working with a coach started her journey and her styling consultancy was born! Driven by the reactions of her clients, the incredible transformations that she was witnessing before her very eyes and seeing the impact her work was having, Nicky knew she was finally where she needed to be. She tells me of the beginnings of the career that truly lit her up and she shares the exact moment when she secured being the host of the epic show 10 Years Younger! It was random and serendipitous all rolled into one!

Nicky is open about what she had to navigate during her time on the show and explains the impact that being on such a popular show had on her. She was in her element, doing something she adored, being able to see the transformative effects on the participants, it was feeding her soul!

We chat all about her amazing new book "Bolder Not Older", (her 5th book!!!) which Nicky says comes from a desire to help people, and cites the era we are living through at the moment as the rise of the mid life woman, which is so true. She says irrespective of age, whatever body shape you are, what your bank balance looks like, Nicky says everyone has the potential to look and feel amazing.

She tells me about the 12 week programme that Bolder Not Older is centered around, to help you redefine your style, and make you feel better about yourself. What I found really interesting about the book is that it almost feels like you have a Nicky in your pocket, holding your hand and guiding you throughout every step, it's fabulous! She talks about the importance of having a wardrobe she can rely on, and how a lot of red lipstick and her style are her survival tools!

Nicky tells me about the kind of clients she has, a mix of ages and one lady is 80 years old! Like she says there is no upper age limit on wanting to feel good about yourself and take control of your style to make you feel fantastic, age is just a number right?!

Nicky says that the beauty is that your style can be the key to making you feel younger than your years and more confident, not only that but happier within yourself just by feeling good about how you look on the outside and how your style makes you feel.

It absolutely shines through how passionate Nicky is about her work, and how much it means to her when she sees that confidence in her clients. She isn't just overhauling people's style, she's changing the way that they feel about themselves, she works her magic on the inside as well as the outside!

Such a fabulous chat with an even more fabulous lady!
