Jo & I have had amazing feedback on the book we launched this week. It's the first book either of us have written and it's really rewarding to hear that people are already putting the insights to great effect in their lives. And yes, the stories are real!!https://t.co/RIps8kJaln
For 2 years I have been working on a book with the brilliant @johawleyUK . It has turned out better than I could have hoped. Stories from both our lives and lessons you can put to great use. We are making a donation to a youth charity for every book sold.
