"40 Stories for 40 Years is an absolute gem—equal parts laugh-out-loud funny, brutally honest, and surprisingly touching. The author’s candid storytelling makes you feel like you’re swapping war stories over wine with your most unfiltered friend."

| Amazing story beautifully told | |
With over 20 years of experience as a trauma-informed counsellor and kinesiologist, I’ve seen the patterns we fall into, the red flags we ignore, and the stories we tell ourselves about love. I also know that sometimes, the best way to heal is to laugh, cry, and swipe your way through it.
My debut dating memoir is packed with funny, insightful, and occasionally heartbreaking tales from the frontlines of modern romance—told with honesty, heart, and just the right amount of sass.
When I’m not helping others rewrite their stories, you’ll usually find me walking by the ocean, sipping a latte—or more likely, some bubbles—possibly dissecting my friends’ dating text messages like it’s forensic science.
This book is for anyone who’s ever been ghosted, breadcrumbed, or just deeply confused—and still believes in love anyway.
What a 40th birthday present to give yourself !!!
Mum don't read chapter 6 or 14 .... Sorry :)
