So this week has been pretty amazing… the book collaboration I’ve written a chapter in is now a 6 times Amazon best seller after being published on Monday!

I’m gutted to miss the formal launch on Friday. But my cardboard cut out will be there!

When I was asked to collaborate last year I really wasn’t sure what to expect and now I can’t quite believe where we are. If you've not got your copy yet then check it out on Amazon🥇

Meet Michelle Lowbridge and her chapter, ‘The Leap into the Void.’

Michelle is an energy therapist and the founder of Clear Energy Therapy, a modality known for producing consistent, powerful results for clients and practitioners alike. In this chapter, Michelle shares the story of how she walked away from a highly successful business built around money mindset work, even as it brought acclaim, financial freedom and a strong reputation, to follow a deeper calling.

Through moments of courage and self-denial, expensive lessons and ultimately clarity, she traces her journey to sharing the tools that allow other practitioners to become the go-to expert in their own fields. The Leap into the Void is a reflection on alignment, purpose and listening to our inner voice.

Katherine is a technology professional whose career spans over four decades of extraordinary change — from punch cards and COBOL to websites and AI. Trained originally in agricultural and environmental science, her path into computing began with an unexpected moment of curiosity and grew into a lifelong commitment to learning, problem-solving, and human-centred technology. Alongside major industry shifts, Katherine’s journey has included career reinvention, motherhood, serious injury, and freelance work, all of which shaped her resilience and adaptability. She continues to explore emerging technologies with the same curiosity she had at 20. Her story is one of gratitude, persistence, and quiet confidence — showing that curiosity, empathy, and resilience remain powerful guides at any stage of life.

Meet Nicola Smithson and her story of, ‘Becoming Her’

What happens when the woman who spent most of her life hiding finally steps into the spotlight?

In this powerful and deeply personal chapter, Nicola takes the reader behind the scenes of a defining moment, standing on stage, heart racing, about to speak to hundreds of people.

She reveals the decades of inner work that led her there. From self-doubt and feeling like the outsider, to redefining success on her own terms, this is a story about becoming, not performing.

Through honesty, humour and reflection, Nicola shows that confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build by aligning with who you truly are. This chapter is an invitation to step out of the shadows of comparison, people-pleasing and fear, and into the light of possibility.

If you’ve ever felt like you needed to be more, this chapter will remind you that everything you need is already there.

You can order your copy on 20th April.

Introducing Lisa Danielle and her chapter, ‘When the Ni**le Keeps Niggling.’

From the outside, it looked like Lisa was living the dream. She was the envy of her friends, travelling the world in her twenties, building a career that took her across continents, everytone thought she had it made. Yet beneath the travel and success, there was always a feeling inside that she couldn’t explain. A ni**le that followed her everywhere, asking questions she didn’t yet have the answers to.

In her chapter, Lisa shares the story of a lifetime spent searching. From travelling the world and returning home to a life that never quite fit, to years of achievement that still left her unsettled, she explores what it means to live with an inner pull that refuses to be ignored.

Lisa opens up about loss, exhaustion and personal upheaval, and the unexpected moment when she found a voice that she never realised she had and her words started to land with impact.

This chapter is not about arriving at answers but listening to the feeling inside that says there is more to life and trusting where the ni**le is leading you.

Meet Helen Shah and her story of, ‘Finding My Voice.’
The room is quiet now, but something has been won.
As the final guests drift into the night and the candles burn low, Helen stands at the centre of a space filled with echoes of conversation, laughter, and connection. Once, the idea of speaking - of being heard - felt terrifying. Now, her voice has carried a room.
This chapter is about finding that voice.
It follows a journey from silence and fear to confidence and expression; from shrinking back to stepping forward. It explores what happens when the fear of public speaking no longer controls the story, and when the need to stay invisible is replaced by the courage to be heard.

This is not about becoming fearless. It’s about speaking anyway. About realising that your voice matters, even when it shakes. And about the quiet power that comes when you finally allow yourself to take up space - and trust that what you have to say is enough.

Introducing Deb Wilson and her story of ‘Getting Brave.’

Life is full of difficult choices, there will be twists and turns, heartbreak and laughs along the way.

Getting Brave is about decades of change as Deb navigates life's big decisions. This chapter shows some of the challenges she faced and how life isn't linear when you want to truly experience it.

It's about trusting that inner voice when you know something needs to change and being brave enough to do something about it. It can be lonely and scary, but it can also be exciting and rewarding if you can only find your own light and get brave.

The balance Deb eventually finds running her own business didn't just appear.

Deb sits on a beach in Australia now, toes buried in warm sand, watching waves roll in with the kind of rhythm she once thought her life would never have. But to understand how she got here, we need to go back.

Not long until you can order your copy on 20th April.

Introducing Tracy Duggan with her chapter, ‘Confidence isn’t the Problem’

To the outside world, Tracy had built a successful business helping organisations and leaders perform.
But like many capable professionals, there were times she questioned her place and wondered if she truly belonged.

In this chapter, she shares the experiences that reshaped her understanding of confidence, purpose and leadership, from a pivotal coaching moment during the pandemic to personal loss and unexpected family connections.

These moments revealed a powerful truth: confidence isn’t the problem. Belonging is.

Drawing on her work with organisations, business owners and leadership teams, Tracy shows why belonging matters more than ever. In fast-changing, high-pressure environments, when people feel they belong, they collaborate better, stay resilient and perform.

This chapter is for business owners and leaders, and for those who don’t yet see themselves as leaders. Whether we realise it or not, culture, resilience and performance are shaped by the choices and actions we all take every day
