This is a brilliant mantra I’ve been thinking about a lot, too!

(Also, I read People Pleaser at the weekend and had to force myself to put it down! Loved it! 🥰)

Today I am feeling mostly like trying to fit more mashed potato into my diet. Will try my best!

I love this. I've recently 'found' you again and I love your energy and enthusiasm.

Your book The Wrong Knickers resonated too much with my younger self, thank you for your honesty.

I listened to your podcast with Paris Paloma. Wonderful. I'm trying to unpack the rules we've absorbed over the years that have got under our skin and have leeched us so I can 'do the work'. Personally and professionally. It's hard.

I work in 'health and wellbeing' and am trying to shift the focus.

Thank you for encouraging us.

As you say, why not you? People Pleaser was a brilliant read. Don't be defeated by nonsense metrics. We love your work and can't wait for more!!

Mashed potato is for champions. So much so I have a potato masher tattoo that says carbs 4eva.

People Pleaser was great, thoroughly enjoyed it. Who cares if the people who only ever buy the same authors keep doing that. Those who read it, loved it.

The Sunday Times doesn’t know what it’s missing. I loved People Pleaser & I can’t wait to read the next one xx

Goosebumps. Absolutely love this. Also feel bad I haven’t bought people pleaser yet when it’s on my list! Too much to do, too much to read, but can’t wait to get it soon
