With no idea of the outcome she cast off the doubts and took the first step to wellness.

If you have suffered adversity, whether mental, physical or spiritual, have doubted the strength of the human spirit, or are looking for a heartwarming story to take your own leap this book offers story, emotion and humour in a twist of human experience."Bravery, courage and boldness are always within us... even if we've a quiet and unassuming personality. On the winding journey that this book provides, you'll feel so close to Nicky's story because she is you, she is us. She is every woman and man who takes on far too much, anxious to fulfil their purpose and please. She is the person you can always count on, and that resonated with me so much because in the pursuit of being 'there' for everyone else, she did what so many of us do... we often sabotage ourselves, being reliable for everyone else."
