This time last year, my book The Success Myth was about to come out & I almost pulled out of doing the audiobook: I was so unwell with burnout and was finding the book publishing cycle difficult and isolating. I got sent the proof in the mail and couldn’t even open the parcel. I cried at my book launch, overwhelmed, still not 100%. But I love writing and I LOVE the book I created, and I love my community here. I wrote the book for myself & subsequently those people out there who are also at the brink of burnout, unsure how to rest, and confused at why all the accolades don’t feel as good as they “should”. I just needed to make some changes and I’m grateful to the burnout now what it taught me. Celebrating the paperback version at Guernsey Lit Fest this weekend was super special; visiting Herm island with my parents and swimming with my fellow author friends. I’m absolutely on the other side, better than ever in fact(!) and there is work to be done and positive change to make in this world 💪(and rest too, and naps)
