On a mission to change
the world.
It doesn't need more people learning to survive dysfunctional systems. It needs systems designed for life.
I'm somewhere between a librarian and a hedonist, depending on the moon cycle. But practically speaking, I'm a single, midlife mother of two daughters living in Surrey, UK, who has spent the last decade rebuilding after losing the infrastructure of my life when I left my marriage.
Understanding how people and the systems around them work wasn't an intellectual exercise. It was something I had to figure out to survive. That experience became the foundation of my research into the conditions that allow human beings to flourish, and how we might redesign the systems we live within to support life rather than simply sustain survival. I've brought this work together in The User Manual: How Humans Really Work, a practical guide to understanding ourselves and the conditions in which we live.
I'm also the author of Permission to Be F*cking Happy and have written for The Sunday Times Style, Positive Luxury, HELLO! and OK!. I've been featured in the Daily Mail and on SheerLuxe TV.
