Forthcoming
THE YIN OF IT ALL
A Type A's Reluctant Journey Toward Ease
Coming soon
You can be driven, disciplined, and still feel like you are unravelling.
I wrote this book from an acupuncture table. Not metaphorically. Literally. I was lying there, tense, exhausted, bristling with needles, when it hit me: I had optimized my life into a corner.
And I was not alone.
"Part memoir, part permission slip."
It is for anyone who has spent years doing all the things. Chasing the promotions. Packing the lunches. Filling the calendar. Only to wake up wondering how they became so good at surviving and so bad at feeling alive.
This book is for you if
You have a colour-coded to-do list but no idea how to rest
You are exhausted by the version of success you have built
You are a little suspicious of self-help, but also, curious
You miss the girl you used to be before the spreadsheets and the shoulds
You have ever whispered "I cannot keep doing it like this" into a steering wheel
What is inside
Twelve chapters. Twelve experiments. One deeply personal year of learning how to stop striving and start softening.
With humour, heart, and the occasional breakdown in a pilates studio, I explore:
Why productivity became my religion (and how I slowly left the cult)
How we mistake control for safety, and what happens when we let go
The difference between rest and collapse
What it really means to feed yourself
And how to rewrite a life, one quiet choice at a time
