With Danielle CollinsShow Notes
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Roanna Stromberg-Smith, founder of RSS, for a beautiful and very honest conversation about business, skincare, wellness, creating memorable experiences and navigating life through enormous change.
Roanna has deep family connections with the Cotswolds and spent much of her career working around the world alongside leading luxury names and brands. She has now brought these two worlds together through RSS, creating bespoke Cotswold experiences for discerning visitors who want to discover some of the very best the area has to offer.
In this episode, we talk about:
Roanna’s personal journey and what led her from her previous career into creating her own business
Why she decided to create bespoke luxury experiences in the Cotswolds
What makes an experience feel truly special, beautiful and memorable
How to bring that same attention to detail into everyday life
Roanna’s tips and ideas for entertaining and creating a beautiful experience for your guests
Having a natural flair for creativity and how this has shaped her work
Skincare over 50 and some of the products Roanna loves using at 58
Her wellness rituals and routines and how she creates more balance between work and life
A recent pilgrimage she went on and what the experience meant to her
Grief and Roanna’s experience of losing her adult son this year
Navigating profound loss while continuing to move through everyday life
Her top tip for feeling good and looking after yourself through different seasons of life
It’s a conversation that moves between the lighter things that can bring beauty and joy into our lives — travel, skincare, entertaining and wonderful experiences — and some of the much deeper experiences that shape us.

At the beginning of the episode, I also talk about my brand-new course, 7 Day Lip, Cheek & Mouth Lift & Sculpt With Face Yoga.
The course includes seven guided Face Yoga video classes, each just 10 minutes long, designed to naturally lift, tone and smooth the lips, cheeks and mouth area.
It’s perfect if you want targeted Face Yoga to help lift the corners of the mouth, firm the cheeks, smooth smile lines, sculpt the cheekbones, soften lip lines and rejuvenate the mid and lower face.
