For today's episode ofThe Midpoint I’m joined by bestselling author Alexandra Potter.

Alexandra is the author of numerous romantic comedy novels, including One Good Thing and Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up — one of the bestselling books of 2022 and the inspiration behind a major TV series. Her books have sold in more than twenty-five territories, with worldwide sales of over one million copies, and have topped bestseller charts around the globe.

In this episode, we talk about the reality behind those success stories — what it means to navigate change, uncertainty, and reinvention in midlife, both creatively and personally. Alexandra shares her honest reflections on identity, ambition, and learning to trust yourself when the path ahead isn’t clear.

She has found that most of her success has come after the age of 40 - the perfect story to inspire is all in midlife!

This week’s episode of the MidPoint is a little different. It’s brought to us in collaboration with our friends at One Day Tests.

I was drawn to working with One Day Tests as a lot of the information I have around my health is based on instinct or long-term changes, but I wanted to see if the nuances of what my blood could tell me would make a difference to my habits.

We are fed a lot of information about how we are living longer and what is good for us, and then a lot of information about opposite - our health challenges and lifestyle problems.

I sat down with Medical Director Dr Adam Staten and Kate Davies, Clinical lead for Women's Services at One Day Tests to chat about what a lot of this really means and how understanding out biomarkers can give us a confidence to making positive changes. Let us know on Instagram what minor changes you’ve made that have had a proper impact.

In this powerful episode of The Midpoint, Gabby Logan is joined by former England rugby international and inspirational speaker Matt Hampson.

Matt opens up about the life-altering injury that left him paralysed at just 21, and the moment everything changed — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Together, Gabby and Matt explore what it truly means to reach a midpoint in life: the reckoning with loss, the rebuilding of identity, and the determination required to find purpose beyond the game. Matt speaks candidly about resilience, leadership, and how adversity reshaped his outlook on success, fulfilment, and happiness.

Honest, moving, and ultimately uplifting, this conversation is a reminder that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can choose how we respond — and that the midpoint can become the start of something even more meaningful.
