It comes after Pip revealed the real reason she left P.E Nation following its relaunch last year, after founding the brand with former business partner Claire Greaves in 2016.
Pip stepped down from the company in August last year after a professional rift between her and her ex best friend saw Claire leave P.E Nation just months earlier.
After much speculation from fans about why the mother-of-one decided to give up her company, she has claimed she could no longer maintain the rigorous workload of running the business, reported Wish last month.
'Not many people understand the pressure of building and running a business, but also creative, front-facing, product - all that stuff. It's five jobs in one, and I didn't stop,' she told the magazine.
'I gave that business 500 per cent of my life, and it was a 24/7 job, and you can only maintain that pace for so long. To be fair, I did have a couple of burnouts along the way. I'm just being honest here.
'It's no disrespect to P.E - it was either that or saving myself, you know? Because how do you get off that hamster wheel? How do you stop what you've started? You can't.'
Pip went on to say she had to 'cut loose and then restart in a way that works for me, my emotions, energy, spirit, all those things, and realign and reset the boundaries'.
She added it became hypocritical to spruik a brand all about wellness when 'my health wasn't well'.

The fashion designer said many who have followed her long career at P.E Nation may 'misinterpret' the reasons she left the company just three months after its relaunch, but she insists she couldn't continue on with the workload.
But while Pip has moved on to become Creative Director at Ksubi, the brand where she first got her start in fashion, the socialite said P.E Nation still holds a special place in her heart as a shareholder.
It comes after there was a professional rift between Pip and Claire last year which saw the end of one of the Australian fashion industry's most lucrative and enduring partnerships.
Claire co-founded P.E Nation with Pip, and the athleisure brand beloved by eastern suburbs yummy mummies went on to make them multimillionaires. But Claire stepped down from her day-to-day role at the label in March last year.
At the time, P.E Nation said in a statement she would be 'pursuing other creative endeavours' and taking her career in a new direction.
Claire and Pip were then hit by rumours of a falling-out, and Pip later wiped all traces of Claire from P.E Nation's social media in a seemingly telling move, erasing years of posts promoting the sportswear brand.
Pip took over as the sole creative director after Claire's exit and gave the brand an overhaul and relaunch, but she later confirmed in August she too was stepping down.
The following month, in September, she returned to street-wear label Ksubi - the brand where she first made her name in the Noughties - as its creative director.
While neither woman has revealed the reason why they went their separate ways, Pip said in June last year Claire 'was the product one' in their business partnership.
'In P.E. Nation with my business partner - she was the product one. She was an amazing designer and I was more the marketing side of things,' she said on the Kyle and Jackie O Show at the time.
Pip went on to say she had fond memories of working with her former partner and praised Claire for being an 'amazing designer'.
Before her business partnership came to an end, Claire separated from her husband Tim Tregoning in mid-2022, although they would not announce it until January the next year.
'It is very amicable, we still love each other, we are co-parenting and he remains a great friend,' she said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald.
'Things change and that's just what happened for us, but we are getting through that with a lot of respect and support for each other.'

She's still got it! Fans go wild as Sonia Kruger recreates her breakout role in Strictly Ballroom with a showstopping waltz on Dancing With The Stars
Sonia Kruger took a spin down memory lane on Sunday night as she paid tribute to her breakout role in Strictly Ballroom. The Dancing With The Stars host returned to the floor for a magical waltz with reigning champ Ian Waite – a dream moment for fans. The television host played Tina Sparkle in the 1992 Baz Luhrmann -directed romantic comedy - and Tina's spirit was alive and well in Sonia's performance. Fans were delighted, with many praising the performance, and the throwback, on Instagram. 'Beautifully danced - you definitely haven't lost your sparkle Sonia' commented one person. 'BRAVO BRAVO, Ian is fabulous, but Onya Sonia, haven't lost a thing, all class girl' another raved. 'Tina Sparkle needs to appear every episode' someone else chimed in while one more said, 'you just schooled everyone.' Sonia looked back at her time in Strictly Ballroom when the film reached its 32nd anniversary last year. Sharing a series of images from the film to her Instagram, Sonia got misty eyed remembering the iconic flick. 'It was the movie that had the whole world dancing! Happy 32nd Birthday Strictly Ballroom!' she wrote. 'It's where his career started,' the 59-year-old previously told Ben O'Shea on The West Live podcast of Luhrmann. 'And same with mine, too. If it wasn't for that movie I probably wouldn't be in television today,' she added. Sonia explained how she landed a speaking role in the film after initially being cast as an extra due to her ballroom dancing background. Fans were delighted, with many praising the performance, and the throwback, on Instagram. 'Beautifully danced - you definitely haven't lost your sparkle Sonia' commented one person 'I had heard through a friend of mine, that there was a moving being made about ballroom dancing,' she said. 'And because I was at that point a professional dancer, I thought I know they're gonna use me as an extra, but I would really like a role. So I went and found out who was casting it.' Sonia worked out that the casting agent was Faith Martin, and went and knocked on her door. 'I said, "Hi I am Sonia, I would really like a role!"' And she said, "Well there is this character, Tina Sparkle, but we aren't casting it for another year. " 'A year went by and I got a phone call to go and audition for Baz. So they were true to their word.' The Dancing With The Stars host said that when she spoke to Baz and he told her she was 'perfect' for the role of clueless Tina Sparkle. 'And yet I only had six lines in the movie,' Sonia said with a laugh. She explained that Baz replied: 'Think about it, Brad Pitt only had six lines in Thelma and Louise and look what happened to him!' In the comedy, Paul Mercurio stars as Scott Hastings, an Australian ballroom dancer who pairs with beginner-dancer Fran (Tara Morice). The two bond when his maverick style earns him the disdain of his conservative colleagues. Together they set out to win the National Championship dancing title and show the Ballroom Confederation that they're wrong when they say, 'there are no new steps!' Sonia was also a ballroom adviser in the movie and helped teach her fellow cast members how to dance.

‘Tight' mum slammed after revealing the ‘offensive' birthday present she takes to kids' birthday parties
A MUM has angered thousands after revealing her unique approach to children's birthday party gifts, or rather, a lack thereof. In a viral video the woman, from Perth, Australia, proudly shows off her 'present' for a children's birthday party: a bag filled with rags, cleaning supplies, tea towels, dishwashing detergent, and cling film. 3 3 Speaking in the video, she says: 'We're going to a family birthday party and the last thing I wanna do to the parents of the child is to give them some present for the kid that's going to end up in landfill, and a whole bunch of clutter that needs tidying and cleaning. 'So this is my secret present that I like to do at kids birthday parties.' The TikTok user known as continues: 'I like to bring a bag of rags. 'So you know when you're at a kid's birthday party and everyone wants to help but nobody knows how to help because they don't know where any of the cleaning stuff is. 'I bring cleaning rags to wipe up sticky messes at the party. I bring Glad Wrap … so you can wrap up extra food and put it in the fridge. 'I like to bring dishwashing detergent because you can bet that the parents may have run out … I bring a lot of tea towels because these are really handy and nobody knows where to find the tea towels in somebody else's house.' She then finished her video by asking her followers, 'Does anyone else do like that?' The video quickly went viral, and it was immediately clear that nobody else does that. Many even called the gift 'offensive' and 'weird'. 'Wake up to yourself,' said one viewer. 'That's actually embarrassing,' wrote someone else. 'I run a pretty tight ship and if someone brought this to my house at my daughter's birthday … I would take offence to it. As if they thought my house was gross,' added one mum. A different commenter sarcastically wrote: 'Wow those kids are going to be thrilled', while another commenter remarked: 'Wow what a tight-arse'. 'That's actually really sad, it's the kids birthday you should spoil the kid; if you want to know where a tea towel is, ask the host, it's not that hard!' quipped yet another critic. However, not all reactions were negative, with some defending the gesture. 'Wow what a lot of hateful comments,' wrote one. 'It goes to show people choose money and gifts instead of help, time and love. This is why we live in a world full of hate and war now. 'People are so judgmental of others. It's sad really.' Another added, 'You don't need to take a present to a birthday, just being there can be enough. Maybe this family don't do presents, did you ever think of that?' A third wrote, 'As someone who lives in a seemingly constant state of overwhelm I would love this gift. Acts of service is my love language.' To help settle the debate, we spoke to a world-leading etiquette expert, Jo Hayes, founder of EtiqetteExpert. Org, who, at face value, thought the woman's idea didn't sound quite right. However, after watching the video and hearing the woman's rationale, she ended up thinking, 'all power to her'. 'I can confidently predict most Aussie mums would relish having this woman at their child's birthday party. She sounds like a 'make it happen' woman,' she tells However, she notes that context is key here. Dinner party and guest etiquette Whether it's your first time hosting friends at your new house, or you're a regular dinner party invitee... Fabulous' Associate Editor, Rebecca Miller, has put together a list of do's and don'ts when it comes to dinner parties and guest etiquette - and it doesn't include sending a guest a bill at the end of the night! Do show up on time - a 10-minute grace period is allowed, but anything longer without letting the host know, is just plain rude. Don't show up empty handed - unless you're popping round for a quick coffee, you should always show up with a small token of your appreciation for the host and their efforts. Flowers, a bottle of wine, candle, or contribute to the dinner by making dessert. Don't start eating until everyone is seated - what might be an obvious rule, it's one many forget. Cooking a meal for a group of people takes a lot of effort, so wait for the host to park themselves, thank them, and await instruction. Don't do the dishes, do clear the table - everyone has their way of cleaning and tidying up. If you swan into the kitchen and start scrubbing, it could be seen as an insult. So help clear the table, and ask if there's anything else you can do - perhaps top up everyone's glass? Get off your phone - few things can make a person feel less seen or important than coming second to a mobile. Leave it in your pocket, and check anything urgent during toilet breaks. 'If she had a child with her, who was the actual/main invited guest to this party, it would be poor etiquette to show up with a 'bag of rags' and no fun gift for the child,' she explains. 'However, it appears this woman is a bit more mature, is perhaps an older aunty, or even a grandmother.' 'What she's saying is true: families are usually swamped with loads of plastic toys on a child's birthday … and while the birthday boy/girl certainly deserves a few fun gifts, bringing something different, but helpful, is actually a very thoughtful gesture,' she says. Jo points out that the actual gift here isn't the physical bag of rags but the elbow grease she would provide. 'She isn't simply showing up with the cleaning items,' she explains. 'She'll be the one buzzing around wiping up spills, cleaning dishes and covering leftover food with glad wrap. I'll invite you to my next party!' In saying that, she believes that a nice card for the child would be a 'thoughtful gesture' in addition to the cleaning. This article was originally published on

The Project star breaks down in tears as the show airs final ever Sunday edition after being axed
The Project's Rachel Corbett could not make it past her introduction before getting emotional as the recently axed show aired its final Sunday edition this weekend. Corbett, 44, who has been on the panel show since 2015, also seemed to set off host Sarah Harris who was also seen to fight back tears. 'You know it doesn't take me much,' Corbett said as she tried to keep a brave face. 'But you're such a pretty crier,' Harris joked, in an attempt to lighten the emotional moment. Corbett replied that that 'wasn't true' before sharing a heartfelt tribute to her outgoing colleagues. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Anyway, we've got plenty of show to get to but I just want to say it's been a bloody privilege doing this show with you guys. I love you so dearly.' The broadcaster, who regularly appears as a panellist on The Project's Sunday edition also thanked the show's regular studio audience who she said turned up 'week after week for this wonderful show.' The show's producer's later shared the moment to X with the caption, 'It only took us 30 seconds to start crying during our final week on air.' It comes after news that Waleed Aly is bracing himself for life after primetime TV after fronting The Project for more than a decade. Speaking to Stellar, the 46-year-old broadcaster revealed that while he had a little more notice than some, the show's cancellation still came as a sudden shock. 'I only knew for less than a week before it was public. So it was all fairly sudden,' he said. 'The hardest day was definitely the day it was announced – that's when you are in the room with all your colleagues. 'People that you've worked with, in some cases, for more than a decade.' While Aly admitted the situation isn't unique to the television industry, he said the emotional weight of the announcement was felt deeply - especially by his own family. 'That's what's added to the emotional weight of all this, because my kids grew up through this show,' he said. 'And talking to the kids about it was actually harder than I expected. It hit them in a way that I didn't quite anticipate.' Aly, who shares two children - Aisha, 22, and Zayd, 18 – with wife Susan Carland, said returning to a regular home routine is a bittersweet adjustment. After years of missing family dinners due to his evening work schedule, he's preparing for a lifestyle shift that includes more cooking – and plenty of cleaning. Despite the changes, Aly said he recognises that job losses and major career shifts are a part of life across all industries. 'This isn't a unique experience to us,' he added. '[It] happens across lots of industries and in lots of workplaces. It's sad every time.' The Project hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald are set to exit the network, while comedian Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows. The Project would be pulled from the schedule after 16 years and more than 4,500 episodes. Its final episode is set to air on June 27, and will be replaced by a single national 6pm news bulletin.
