At eight8, we embrace these values to inspire and empower women in midlife. Whether you’re seeking to connect with others, take time for yourself, or explore something entirely new, eight8 is here to help you find your balance and flow.
The number 8 is also considered a symbol of abundance, joy, and new beginnings—all of which sit at the heart of our brand. eight8 is about embracing this exciting chapter in your life with confidence, curiosity, and an open mind.
After years of adventure—living in the French Alps and New Zealand with my husband—I returned to England to embark on my greatest journey: raising two incredible children. Now, with my grown children carving out their own paths, I find myself at the start of an exciting new chapter. Like many women at this stage in life, I’ve felt the bittersweet mix of emotions that come with change—loss, loneliness, and uncertainty, but also a renewed sense of freedom, curiosity, and possibility.
Hi, I’m Justine
In the last year, I have said goodbye to my lovely mom and stepped away from a successful career. These transitions, though heartbreaking and challenging, have been an invitation to rediscover myself—to seek out new experiences, connect with inspiring people, and embrace the joy of learning and growing once again. But more than that, they have ignited a long desire to create something of my own—a business that inspires other women to explore new directions, step outside their comfort zones, and find fulfillment in this next stage of life.
This is the heart of ‘eight8’. A space for women like us—curious, adventurous, and ready for something more. I know how daunting it can feel to step out of your comfort zone, but I also know the magic that happens when we do. Whether it’s learning a new skill, trying an activity we’ve never considered, or saying yes to an opportunity that excites us, I believe that every experience has the power to transform and inspire.
Eight8 is about embracing these moments. It’s about discovering hidden passions, immersing ourselves in unique and meaningful experiences, and connecting with like-minded women who are also on a journey of self-discovery. Whether it’s a creative workshop, a wellness retreat, a hands-on adventure, or supporting innovative projects, the world is full of possibilities. Travel also remains an essential part of this journey—exploring new destinations, experiencing different cultures, and finding inspiration in the beauty of the world around us.
As I embark on this new path, I also find myself wanting to learn more about sustainability—how to travel and experience the world in a way that respects and preserves it for future generations. I don’t have all the answers, I am simply eager to be more informed, to make better choices, and to share what I learn along the way. This isn’t about perfection and always getting it right; it’s about curiosity, awareness, and small steps toward leaving the world a little better for our children and grandchildren.
