Book Reviews
Already feeling the positive impact
“I found Deborah’s book so inspiring, but even more than that, it’s actually got me to do things in my life and work differently and I’m already feeling the positive impact. I love the practical advice – it’s not overwhelming – sometimes it’s the small things that can make a big difference. Like making sure I understand what nourishes me. Simple things like drinking more water to keep hydrated are actually achievable! But it’s also helped me tackle some of my bigger challenges…learning how to say ‘no’ and stop my incessant people-pleasing. Now I understand more about what stress is and how it impacts my body and mind, it makes saying ‘no’ so much easier. Thank you!” – HelenEngaging and thought provoking
“Have it All Without Burning Out is an absolute must read for anyone who finds themselves feeling overwhelmed and suffering from ongoing stress to the point where they are running on empty and have lost their zest for life. Having experienced stress and burnout first-hand as a senior business leader, Deborah’s honest and empathetic style of writing makes this an engaging and thought provoking read and the genuine pleasure she takes in helping others to rediscover daily enjoyment leaps off the page.” – SandraA huge array of readily actionable ideas
“Deborah guides the reader on their own journey helping them understand what stress means for them personally, the importance of building resilience and how to become a more resilient person. Yet what really sets this book apart is that rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all solution, the reader is offered a huge array of readily actionable ideas that can be immediately embarked upon. And because Deborah has lived through it, the ideas are put forward with time-pressed, exhausted people in mind. It really is a step-by-step guide to avoiding burnout.” – SandraIt really hits home
“So much is packed into this insightful small book. Right from the start Deborah bares her soul by recalling her decline into burnout and the devastating impact this had on her mind and body. It really hits home and makes you think “Crikey! This could be me if I’m not careful.” Deborah doesn’t promise a magic formula, just good, honest, and easily achievable steps to encourage you to sit back and explore what’s really important in your life and what brings you real joy. I’d recommend making good use of the worksheets that are also available – you might be surprised by your own answers. What have you got to lose? You’ll wish you had read it earlier.” – LynneInsightful and inspiring

“Such a well written book and such an easy read. I found myself saying “oh my god it’s me, I feel/ have felt like this”.

Thanks so much Deb, you have really helped me !!” – VickyA really useful and practical guide
“An inspiring read. This isn’t hollow theory but based on Deborah’s own experience of stress & burn out which makes this a really useful & practical guide. Packed full of simple & effective tools & approaches, this is a must-read.” – Anon. Amazon review.Gem of a book
“I can highly recommend this self-help book. The book is well written and takes the reader on a thought-provoking personal journey. In a fast-paced world of technology it is all too easy to get trapped like a hamster on a wheel, driving on to the point of exhaustion and losing sight of the goals and dreams many of us set out to achieve. This little gem of a book helps the reader understand how to build resilience, make small changes that can help them live their “best life”, one where they can experience joy, happiness and fulfilment each day. Written in easy to understand language, the book has lots of really useful tips and practical ideas on how to nourish the mind and body that can be quickly and easily incorporated into daily routines.” – Anon.

I have the pleasure of hosting a friendly and supportive community on Facebook called 'Overachievers & The Imposter'.
Just like the title suggests this is a group for those people who identify as an overachiever, are likely dealing with imposter syndrome, and have become a master at hiding the secret struggle that tends to accompany all that.
