Book week!

What a week! 📕

I am so so grateful to every one of you who has liked, shared and commented on my book launch this week 🫶

A woman I only know from yoga came up to me in a class yesterday and exclaimed,

‘How did you know this is exactly what I needed in this exact moment I’m in? I’ve not finished it yet, but it’s scary how seen I feel.’

I couldn’t get through the rest of the balances I was so bowled over with appreciation.

Well that was my excuse anyway.

It’s nerve-wracking when something moves from the creation phase to being shared with other humans. You might have felt it.

Like when you find the courage to speak up in a meeting… and the chairperson just moves on, and you’re left wondering if your point landed.

Or when you share a plan or project for the first time, scanning the face in front for a flicker of resonance and reassurance. When you’ve incubated an idea and then show it to someone else. And there can be crickets.

It’s that move from ‘I think…’

to ‘this is now visible’.

It’s also the moment the doubt can get loud.

The clarity you had on your own starts to wobble when it’s out in the world.

But when someone shares something honestly, it often makes it easier for someone else to do the same.

I’ve never written a book before, so I’m not sure how this bit is ‘meant to’ feel.

A swirling mix of pride, excitement and nervous anticipation captures most of it.

But I do know this part, where people are quietly reading, matters.

The chance to connect with one sentence, one paragraph, where they feel seen.

So your photos and messages mean more than I can properly put into words. So grateful.

Not just for the support, but for meeting me in that moment of visibility with such delightful human connection.

The book is out in the world now.
