BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT - 14 year old Jemima's first banana. 🍌

The PICKLES, rockstars of the Sunday 'Beach bunch.

Knowing bananachat - my words of mental strength, mantras and mindfulness - landed for Jemima was magic.

Perhaps it's because I would have loved the POWER space - everything it is and stands for - at 14.

Now at nearly 44, I'm 'just a girl' with a belief that bananas have the power to shift the mental health landscape.

A bananas dream, built on a shoestring, shared through word of mouth.

Yesterday I met Liz and Jane, visiting from south west London (90 minutes away).

They'd been told (at their local yoga studio in London) ...

“If you're going to Bracklesham, you’ve got to try this really cool banana bikes thing."

They didn't make the bunch, this weekend - still spontaneous, it sold out within a few hours of bookings going live.

Grateful. POWER-full. Bananas.

Also, if you’re wondering how playlist 36 landed, without the essential prep of riding a chair backwards - this was the unprompted feedback of a POWER O.G who’s listened to them all, so far.

Channeling Jemima's banana, into the week ahead. 💛

From the archive: riding a chair backwards is how I practiced POWER playlists, back in the day (2020). 📸

Hood up for extra 'immersion'.
Chest proud banana.
A glass of fizz as standard (back in the day).

That face. And that hand ... SHIFT. 💥

This week marks two years of POWER 'proper' - as a Limitless company - which has inspired a trip down memory lane, because the big bananas dream started years before things got 'proper'.

POWER, is delivered through headphones (immersive). You'll often hear me say "all that matters is the music."

It's that invitation to lose yourself in the rhythm, not the noise.

What type of music?

I love a build, a drop, a strong vocal, anything that evokes emotion, creates experience and takes the bunch on an adventure.

Any one POWER playlist can take months of building and juggling for the adventure to land.

It's so much more than a collection of tracks - it's a legit skill that takes practice.

Playlist 36 drops this weekend. And the adventure continues ... 💛

WHAT A DAY: Athena Effect '26, with the bunch. 💛

As a proud Athena Effect O.G it was a privilege to share year 3 and my table of 7 with Vicky Booker - POWER O.G, Kirsty of Siblings Skills Club - much-loved 'A3' bunch, and Wendy Reclaim Movement - rockstar POWER In Your Pocket guest.

Year on year Dame Kelly Holmes raises the bar - new features, even more panels, and breakouts - somehow it all fits into one EPIC day.

The fire, and the real, raw passion she has for using her incredible platform to give women a voice and encourage us all to take up space, be seen and feel heard, is powerful and beautifully contagious.

This year, I had the privilege of speaking on stage - sharing a bit about me and sparking bananas curiosity, in 60 seconds. 🎤

THANK YOU, Kelly, for cheering me on in the brave, empowering space you've created.

My 2026 top three:

The live recording of Why Care? Podcast with Nadia Nagamootoo.

Deb Mills-Burns and Catherine’s spoken word

Helen Spencer - Pathways To Resilience

Jane Wake always! From year one Athena “you’re the banana lady” to our friendship, our POWER with Jane Wake collaborations, and soon to be neighbours.

Next year's theme is RISE - the date for your diary is 05.03.2027. 📌

Everything you need to know. 💜

Who's in? 💥

International Women's Day, Sunday 08.03 is ten weeks til the 10km - what a day to begin POWER 'practice', in support of My Sisters' House. 📌

As one of the Bognor Prom 10k Road Race bunch, fundraising for My Sisters' House CIO you'll unlock a bunch of POWER perks to support you as you prepare to lace up at the start line, on Sunday 17th May.

Think, bunch 'practice' in-person and online, for the bunch living further afield.

As well as, first to experience POWER In Your Pocket - bananachat available when you want to shift (and 'practice').

If you're not one of the Bognor 10km bunch but would love to walk/run/move with us during POWER 'practice' - in-person or online - you're so welcome, in exchange for a donation on the POWER JustGiving page to My Sisters' House (MSH).


Why MSH, for me ... 💜

The incredible work that MSH does in making women feel seen, believed, supported and em-POWER-ed in their experiences of domestic abuse is part of my story, historically.

The national crisis they represent so brilliantly close to the Home of POWER in Chichester is one I want to support, and I would love for you to join me.

Step into your POWER. 🍌

The face on my fridge. 📌

My face of 40+ years ago has been pinned to my fridge for a few years.

She's *really* helpful.

I often 'cheers' her, and I always look to her for my next steps.

Why? Because I am her and I've always been her.

Life is 'simply' that practice of coming back to her, over and over.

I've never 'gone public' with my fridge - wild - but I had to share her and what helps me (as I do with my bananachat) when I saw Donna Ashworth's post, in my feed. 💛

It could only be my face and my fridge - surrounded by words that have also been there for a few years - bananachat inspo, everywhere.

That face knows what a full body "YES" feels like (bananachat), and she's all in for the year of the fire horse.🔥

Thank you for asking me to chat My Sisters' House CIO and THANK YOU for the brilliant work you do, making women feel seen, believed, supported and em-POWER-ed 💜

As we head into February, we’re excited to share our latest blog — a brilliant conversation with Elaine Hart from Power is Bananas.

In the feature, she talks about what’s currently fueling her intention within POWER, how movement keeps her aligned, and the banana-fueled wisdom she’s carrying into this next season for the community.

Hello, POWER In Your Pocket. 💥

The new line in POWER now has a name, official.

Its ‘working title’ POWER On-Demand felt a bit DEMAND-y and a bit SHOUTY when POWER is, and will always be, an *invitation* to move, connect, and shift.

You’re in charge. And, with POWER In Your Pocket, more so than ever before.

It’s …

That inimitable POWER soundtrack, at the touch of a button. 🍌

The answer to 'what would Elaine's bananachat say', day or night. 🍌

That empowering voice in your head that will shift you out of a funk and into your power, wherever you are in the world. 🍌

It’s, POWER In Your Pocket. 💥

The name POWER In Your Pocket - aka PIYP - came about over a dirty chai in Goat Coffee Co. after POWER on the Beach.

‘A3 bunch’ Kirsty - who regularly drives 50 minutes each way to be with the bunch for 45 minutes - was asking me about the new line in POWER, and when I explained how all-new digital bananas will work, she said …

“a bit like POWER in your pocket”

Yes. A LOT like that. 💥

POWER In Your Pocket - it’s playfully, POWER-perfect. Thanks, Kirsty.

And by naming it, it becomes a thing. Right?

Right.

For the eager bananas amongst you who have been shouting “I need you in my ears when …” after every POWER experience (when you don’t want to take your POWER headphones off) since the dawn of time, timescale for the roll out is still TBC.

January was all about the tech evolution, February is all about the recording.

Eyes peeled, it’s happening.

I’ll keep you posted on behind the scenes action, the podcast-style format, and the rockstar guests you’ll be moving with .

But for now, simply, it has a name - POWER In Your Pocket - HOW EXCITING. 💥
