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…

So… that’s me. Now tell me about you.

What’s your next course?

A new job? A trip? Learning something completely new? Getting healthier? Making more friends? Finally doing the thing you keep talking about?

I’m here for good food, great travel, interesting people and figuring out what the hell we want to do with the rest of this one wild life.

I used to have rules. The right outfit, the right amount of time, the right level of “ready” — or I simply didn’t move.

This morning I woke up, heard the City to Surf going past my house, and just… joined in. Hadn’t run in 3 years. Hadn’t trained. Hadn’t entered. Ran the last 5km anyway, then jumped in at Tamarama for the cold plunge recovery.

One of the best things about getting older is realising how many of the rules you’ve been following you completely made up yourself.

What could you do today if you stopped worrying about doing it “properly”?

Sometimes your next course is a racecourse!

No rules. Just joy. Comment on the rule you want to lose…

And you wonder why it takes me four weeks to film a video... 😅

Say it isn’t so….

I spent the night with two women… and my husband didn’t mind. 😏

There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation.

I promise.

Girls night isn’t on until the cookies come out. 🍪

One giant, gooey, share-it (or don’t!) straight-off-the-tray choc chip cookie. Warm. Slightly underbaked in the middle. (On purpose. Don’t come @ me.)

Full recipe drops next week — consider this your official excuse to plan a spend-the-night party.

Still buzzing from ours? That story’s coming on the blog tomorrow, matching tracksuits and all. Link in bio.

Tag the friend who always calls dibs on the biggest cookie. 👯
