Libby Delana

Libby DeLana is the creator and co-host of the This Morning Walk™ with Alex Elle, the author of Do/Walk (Do Books, 2021), and a leading voice on the emotionally transformative power of walking. She is also a compelling and inspiring new voice and face of aging.

Libby recently began a career as a fashion model in her late fifties, working with some of the industry’s most creative photographers and becoming a brand ambassador for Hoka and Fjallraven. Her work has been featured in multiple national campaigns and she is an advocate for embracing second chapters, female leadership and empowerment.

Outside of her work as a writer, speaker and advocate, Libby is an award-winning Executive Creative Director. She was the Design Director at MullenLowe for fifteen years before she went on to co-found the marketing agency Mechanica.

Libby’s second book, Cold Joy (Chronicle, Fall 2025) discusses the impact and importance of cold water plunging on physical and mental well being, a topic she has become increasingly vocal about over the past few years.

A walker who has circumnavigated the earth, Libby is also a stunt woman, aspiring pilot, rookie fly fisher, and mum to two smart, kind men. She has been featured in BBC’s “The Chain”, Cup of Jo, NPR, Magnolia Journal, and many more.
