web: forthenextcourse.com Hi I'm Heather, a professional cook and food content creator, a former marketing executive and for 15 years I was a stay-at-home mum. I re-entered the workforce and changed my entire career in my late 40s. I live in Sydney (best beach and food city!) with my hubby and a schnauzer cross spitz (a Schitz!) called Lillie. I have three kids who have all flown the coop and while I miss them desperately, I also enjoy being able to wander the house naked, the thrill of a continually clean guest bathroom and not having to decide what to cook for dinner every night unless I feel like it. You can find me on the beach, at a café with a coffee, on a barstool making friends over cocktails or (my fave place..) in front of a mini G&T in an uncomfortable aircraft seat on the way to anywhere, my phone open to IG food videos, wondering what to eat, where to go and what to do FOR THE NEXT COURSE…

The only swims you’ll ever regret are the ones you didn’t take. (I’m talking about swimming. Mostly.)

2016 to 2026. Stay-at-home mum to butcher shop to Australia’s biggest food blog to head chef at a food charity. Ten years, three jobs, one very late start. Turns out it’s never too late to stop being scared of your own life. Follow if you’re about to start yours…I want to know your story.
