THE transformative power of education and the positive role Swansea University played in one woman's life are among the themes of a new book aimed at inspiring others as they navigate middle age.

Wellness entrepreneur Emma Tamplin graduated with a BSc in Business Management in 2022 despite losing her daughter to leukaemia during her studies.

Since then, she has gone on to not just launch her latest successful business but also complete a master's in psychology.

Now she has told her story in The Journey Home, which she hopes can play a part in helping other women reach their potential.

She said: "This book is for the woman who has spent their life showing up for everyone else, only to reach their forties or fifties and realise she's lost sight of who she is somewhere along the way."

Emma's own experience dealing with grief and depression and her eventual route back to a meaningful life are at the heart of the book and she says her studies were crucial in that personal journey.
