- Blurb -

Is your life as busy AF (and not in a good way)?Are you losing control?Can't see your way through the overwhelm? Or mental load? Stop right now. You can restore order, rebuild your confidence, renew your wellness . . .There's never been a better time to be a woman - we can have it all! That's what feminism promised, didn't it? As we juggle the roles of partner, boss, friend, mother and employee (plus a side hustle), balance has never been more crucial. We're obsessed with everything wellness, yet women's mental health and wellbeing are in decline. We're drowning in feminist guilt while trying to keep everything afloat, plagued by perfectionism, riddled with doubt, ruled by screens and hurtling towards burnout. When Felicity Harley, founding editor of Women's Health magazine and whimn.com.au, felt really out of kilter, she started talking to other women about their overwhelm. The floodgates opened. Turns out her girlfriends, colleagues and other mums at the school gate had been quietly worrying about the personal cost of modern life and why their wellness wasn't working too.Out of those conversations comes this rallying cry for every woman who craves balance but is shouldering the mental load, too tired and crazy-busy to see solutions.Using research and insights from leading Australian experts in health, sociology and feminism - alongside wisdom from smart women like Turia Pitt and Tanya Plibersek - plus her own experiences, Felicity calls out the crap in cult wellness. In her warm and inspiring way, she shows how you can cut through the B.S. to find clarity in the chaos, offload some of your mental load, and feel truly empowered in the middle of your wonderfully messy life.
