Stress Less? Hell Yes!
How to Deal with Stress When You Think You Have It All Sussed
Written from the Heart — Because I've Been There
After thirty-four years in nursing — sixteen as a clinical nurse specialist on an Intensive Care Unit — I know what chronic stress looks like from the inside out. I've lived through burnout, breakdown, and the long road back to myself.
Stress Less? Hell Yes! is the book I wished I'd had during my darkest times. It's honest, practical, and written with the warmth of someone who truly gets what you're going through — because I've been there.
This isn't another book telling you to “just relax” whilst your nervous system is screaming. It's a straight-talking guide for anyone who is overwhelmed, burnt out, or running on empty — and ready to come home to themselves again.
