About todays guest:

I’m Lisa Newport. Author, speaker, and OG Funky Diva of self-expression, visibility, and embodied presence.

Despite being known as the personal style catalyst for many years my work isn’t *really* about clothes, it never has been.

It’s about what happens when someone stops shrinking and starts leading their life from the inside out.

I work with next-chapter individuals, particularly midlife women, who are accomplished, capable, and quietly done with playing small. On paper they’re successful. Inside, they know there’s more. More expression. More authority. More permission to be seen as they actually are.

Details of the Swish: 07th Feb 2026, United Reformed Church, Edwards Lane, Notts, NG5 3AA (UK)
