Challenges are part of life’s journey, it’s time for us to turn things around and inspire positive change!

We all have a story to tell, and we all know someone who would be encouraged by our support.

For some, their challenge has been coping with an illness, or their struggle with mental health; and for others, a physical challenge like a run, walk or cycle ride is not only motivating and inspiring them, but raising awareness for their chosen charity.

Click the link in my bio to find out how you can take part in the Insider Watch Challenge and together let’s bring awareness to life’s challenges and struggles.

Wear It. Flip It. Share

It’s time to turn things around!

What is the Insider Watch Challenge?

It’s a movement to inspire, encourage, and build a supportive community.

We all know that life is full of challenges, right? Some tough, some fun!

The Insider Watch Challenge encourages you to believe that no matter what the challenge is, you can turn things around.

Here’s how it works:

Wear It - Wear a Watch or Smartwatch.

Flip It – Turn the watch face to the inside of your wrist. Many have even found that wearing a smartwatch this way tracks the data more accurately!

Share It – Tell your story.

Sometimes, hearing someone else’s story is all it takes to inspire change.

And sharing your story could be the inspiration someone else needs to believe that they can turn things around.

To find out more, and be inspired by the stories that have been shared, check out the QR code at the end of this video, or search #InsiderWatchChallenge

Everyone flips for a different reason…

For some who’ve joined the Insider Watch Challenge, it’s not about better smartwatch data, and it’s not always about starting a conversation around mental health either.

Sometimes it’s as simple as this: It feels more comfortable, and they love the look.

Be honest… Comfort, style, curiosity, or awareness - which one brought you here?

Drop your reason in one word 👇

You never really know what someone is going through.

The smile.
The laugh.
The “I’m fine.”

Sometimes, they’re hiding a battle nobody else can see.

September 2026 is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, so today:
Notice the person beside you. Send the message. Make the call. Ask the question. “How are you really doing?”

And if they say “I’m fine”… ask again as quite often the outside appearance doesn’t reflect what they are feeling on the inside.

You don’t need to fix everything. You don’t need to have the perfect words. Sometimes, knowing that someone cares enough to ask can be the thing that breaks through. Paul shared on the @samaritanscharity website: “It seems a bit drastic to say I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for one conversation, but that is the reality.” That’s the power of one conversation.

That’s why we’re encouraging people to take part in the Insider Watch Challenge. Flip your watch and wear it on the inside of your wrist.

It’s a simple action, but it can serve as a daily reminder that, although life can bring challenges and struggles, things can change and sometimes we can find a way to turn things around.

Breaking a familiar habit and doing something differently can also make us more mindful of our everyday actions. Wearing your watch on the inside of your wrist can become a small, personal reminder to pause, check in with yourself, and perhaps check in with someone else.

And there’s another reason to wear it this way…Wearing your watch this way is also a great conversation starter.

Someone might notice your watch and ask: “Why are you wearing your watch like that?” and that question could lead to a conversation about mental health. A conversation about how someone is really doing. A conversation that might be more important than either of you realise.

So, this September…
Flip your watch.
Start a conversation.
Ask the question.
And remember: you never really know what someone is going through.

The hardest paths often build the strongest people.

Life is a lot like walking a hiking trail.

It’s not always easy. There will be steep climbs, unexpected obstacles, rough paths, and moments when you wonder if you can keep going.

But you don’t have to conquer the whole trail at once. Just take the next step. One step, then another. Before you know it, you’ll look back and realise just how far you’ve come.

The journey may challenge you, and push you outside your comfort zone, and sometimes, the journey may be painful. You may feel tired, frustrated, or unsure of where the path is leading. But you don’t have to conquer the whole trail at once. Just take the next step at a time and keep moving forward. Because the hardest paths can lead to the most rewarding views, and there is an incredible sense of pride and self-satisfaction in knowing you kept going when it would have been easier to stop.

Flip your watch and join the Insider Watch Challenge. Wearing your watch this way encourages you to believe that no matter how difficult life can be, you can turn things around.

Are you an artist and struggle with confidence? I’m going to hazard a guess and say yes. Well you’re not alone!

We can look at someone else’s work and immediately see their talent, their creativity, and their style, but when we look at our own art and we often think that we are just not good enough and compare ourselves with others.

The truth is, finding your own style can take years. Learning your craft takes time. And learning to believe in yourself can take even longer. And, deep down, you already know that comparison is the thief of joy, but we still compare ourselves to others.

So if you know an artist, photographer, musician, or creative who doubts themselves, tell them how good they are. Encourage them and let them know that their work matters.

Now pause for a moment, and tell yourself exactly the same thing and listen to your own words.

It’s not easy, I know from experience, but you deserve the encouragement you give to everyone else. One thing I’ve learnt is confidence is part of the creative process, and it comes after you keep showing up, keep creating and when you stop comparing yourself to others.

The insider watch challenge encourages you that no matter how difficult life can be, you can turn things around.

Insider Watch Challenge Southend City Jam Meet Up 2026

This weekend reminded me why I started the Insider Watch Challenge in the first place. Building a community, encouraging one another, sharing stories, building friendships, and the conversations and those moments where you meet someone for the first time and somehow end up talking like you’ve known each other for years.

To everyone who came along, thank you. Whether you stayed for hours or simply popped in to say hello, I genuinely appreciate you making the effort.

The rain may have tried its best to ruin the weekend… but it didn’t stand a chance against the people I met who had the biggest hearts. You all gave me a weekend I’ll genuinely remember for a long time.

Even though the rain kept some people away, it didn’t stop the community from growing. I met some amazing artists, chatted with people visiting City Jam, and had so many of those unexpected conversations that happen when you seem to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

And yes… we’ll definitely be doing this again. 👊

A special thanks to @nat.h.j for all her help making it possible. 🥰

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Focus on your strengths, take one step at a time, and keep moving forward. Believe in your abilities.

The Devil Wears Prada 2: The Style Detail You Might Have Missed.

It’s not just the clothes people are noticing. Throughout the film, Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, wears her watch on the inside of her wrist.

Her go-to watch is a Cartier Baignoire, which starts at £8,100, but she also wears a black-and-gold Bvlgari∙Bvlgari with a black leather strap, as well as a Bvlgari with a stainless steel and 18 kt rose gold strap, always worn on the inside of her wrist.

Harper’s Bazaar has noticed how she wears it too: “How Sachs has styled her watch – with the dial positioned on her inner wrist, facing toward her – suggests a quietly confident approach to personal style. Partially hidden from view, her wristwatch was not selected to impress those around her, but seemingly for her enjoyment only.”

The @insiderwatchchallenge encourages you to flip your watch too, not just because it’s stylish but because a small change in how you wear your watch can become a powerful daily reminder that change is possible.

It’s a daily reminder to look at things differently, to change your mindset, and be part of a supportive community.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 may be predominantly about fashion, but there’s more to the storyline than clothes. I picked up on the way the film explores changing times, particularly the dominance of online media and how the fashion industry is having to adapt.

So, for a nice evening in and a big, stylish movie, check out The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Disney+.

Today is World Photography Day 2026, so I thought it’s a good excuse to share one of my all time favourite photos I took with the amazing @heyitsgracegray

Love what you do, and do what you love has always been important to me so I became a full time commercial photographer. But Photography for me is not just a way of making a living, it’s a creative outlet and a way of connecting with people, especially through the @insiderwatchchallenge

And you never know what friendships you are going to make. So I would like to encourage you to pick up your old camera, or use the camera on your phone, and get outside, be bold, meet new people and have fun. You’ll love being outside in the fresh air, and you never know, you might even unexpectedly make some amazing new friends along the way!

Big watches are back.

Let’s talk fashion for a moment. Did you know that, for women, bigger watches have real fashion credibility right now, especially when it comes to a good chronograph?

Small watches have their place, and always will. But sometimes, a little more attitude can carry a much bigger message.

Think oversized cases, vintage leather straps, racing-inspired details and that effortlessly cool “borrowed from the boys” attitude.

And then there’s wearing it on the inside of your wrist, a bold choice for some, but one that can mean so much more than a fashion statement.

For many, it’s a reminder that change is possible. A quiet symbol that can become a conversation starter, helping to challenge the stigma around mental health and remind someone that they’re not alone.

Ladies, how big would you go, and what message would you wear on your wrist?

Wear it. Flip it. Share it.
