OUT OF THE BOX
I’m currently working on my first book, Out of the Box, a memoir co-authored by my mum Kerry and my grandma Emmie. In it we share our most personal memories and lessons learned.
Through this process we’ve all learned so much about each other, and we hope that this book inspires other mothers and daughters to start talking and sharing - to have the conversations that will bring them closer together.
The book is now available for pre-order and will hit the shelves for Mother’s Day May 2022.

How being raised a feminist helps me enjoy sex
So here’s how it goes. Lights on dimmer, kids toys put away (#dickkiller). Fresh sheets, bluetooth speaker charged with playlist ready to go.
I’ve never been lonelier than I was in my marriage
Dirty hair in a top bun, the same leggings I’ve had on all week and a screaming hungry toddler tugging at my leg while I unload the dishwasher.
An open letter to any woman brave enough to call an end to a loveless marriage
There really should be a manual for getting through a divorce.
