“Burnout is an absence of love”
Of love for your job
Of love for your life
Of love for yourself.
Work was my everything.
On paper, I was a mother, wife, daughter, sister & friend. In reality, I was an unhappy, preoccupied stranger, hurtling down a path of self-destruction.
I thought I was successful.
Then came the day I physically couldn’t drive to work. I looked in the rear-view mirror and didn’t recognise the person staring back at me.
Five days later I resigned. The years that followed - my beautiful mess.
A mess because it was a twisted, dramatic and emotional journey with lots of ugly, snotty crying.
Beautiful, because it taught me the most valuable lessons in my life. It reacquainted me with myself and delivered a mental health diagnosis that finally, helped my life make sense.
It saved my life.

“Well done on a brilliant read. It is so relatable to so many of us leaning in to have it all.”
“My goodness, your book is tugging at all of my heartstrings. So incredibly relatable it’s terrifying. Looking forward to the last few chapters but I also don’t want it to end. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
