Lindy is quite unlike your average sexagenarian: whether she’s jet setting across the globe in pursuit of her modelling career or dressing up in her 14th costume of the day, the Anglo-Italian-Irish actress and model’s life is a veritable whirlwind. More to the point, so is she – full of vim and vigour, she talks excitedly and passionately about her

Ah, summer! The warm weather and light breezes mark my favorite time of the year. I love swimming, and hiking and watching the fireflies blink on and off in the darkness after the sun goes down.

With vaccine #2 under my belt, my thoughts have turned to the post-pandemic world, filling me with both elation and dread. I can’t wait to see friends and family in person, but I worry that communication will remain difficult as mask wearing continues.

I am sometimes asked to share podcasts about hearing loss with my readers. And while I love to raise awareness about hearing loss topics, my first question is always, “Is there a transcript of the audio available?” Often, the answer is one of confusion. “But it’s a podcast,” they reply. “Podcasts don’t have transcripts.” The truth is that many of

Yoga and exercise are an important part of my daily routine. Almost every morning I hit my mat for a heart pumping HIIT (high intensity interval training) class or a rejuvenating yoga practice. On my best days, I follow this up with a short meditation. I used to take these classes in a studio and developed a method for practicing

Sometimes hearing loss can feel like a no-win situation. If you don’t self-advocate, you will be left out of the conversation.
