Local Book Hive After years of living in survival mode, I reclaimed my voice, my story, and my power, and I help other women do the same. Through mashing up all my teachings, healing, therapy, writing, and soulful self-practices like facial yoga and mindfulness, psychosex therapy(women's wellness), I guide women to rise from burnout, trauma, and silence into fierce self-worth. I believe in messy magic, radical self-love, and starting over as many times as it takes. This space is where I mash it all up: healing, truth-telling, soul work, and a little rebellion.

I asked one of my fabulous ARC readers, LiLiKBooks , to share one of her favourite scenes from Menopause & Mayhem, and what a treat!

Lili, thank you for being such a wonderful friend, an honest reader, and one of my biggest cheerleaders. Your support means the world to me! 🥰

And to every beautiful human who joined me on Friday evening, thank you! Your laughter, kindness and support made the night even more special. I'm so grateful for this wonderful little community we're building together. ❤️

Join me again LIVE this Thursday at 7pm! Bring your cuppa, your sense of humour and perhaps a fan for those unexpected tropical moments! 🤣🔥

Menopause & Mayhem is out TODAY! And I’m ridiculously excited!

Huge love to my alpha, beta and ARC teams, and thank you for every honest review so far. Your support means so much. ❤️

Menopause can feel lonely and overwhelming. I wanted to lean into the humour of being a woman amid the hormonal chaos, and hopefully help someone feel a little less alone.

Here’s to finding our laughter and adventure as we navigate getting older… even when we can’t find our glasses.

A scene from Menopause & Mayhem:

I poked my stomach.
"Excuse me... who invited you?"
My belly sat there with the confidence of an unwanted relative who arrives for Christmas, eats all the Quality Street and announces they're staying until New Year.
"I had toast yesterday," I informed it. "Toast. Not seventeen Yorkshire puddings and an entire village fête."
I sucked my stomach in. Much better. I breathed out, and there it was again.

It was supposed to be a short story. A little Scottish Gothic darkness, a few hundred words, then back to my other projects like a sensible author.

Unfortunately, the story had absolutely no intention of behaving.

The characters wanted more time, the plot started making demands, and now we’re heading into full-blown WIP territory. Apparently, I’ve mistaken an opening chapter as an invitation for more.

Then my friend went and did this voiceover, which did absolutely nothing to help my self-control.

So here we are. Expanding the story, following the darkness, and pretending I’m still the one making the decisions.

Send Coke Zero. I suspect we’ll be in the Highlands for a while. 🖤📚
