I see her every day – maybe you’re her too. She’s the woman who wakes up early to prepare for everyone else’s day. The one who juggles her parents’ medical appointments while coordinating her children’s schedules. The one who maintains a career, manages a household, and still finds time to volunteer.
Her life brims with love and purpose, but leaves little room for herself.
She’s the solver of daily crises, the shoulder everyone leans on. Her day is a carefully orchestrated dance of responsibilities, each step measured to ensure nobody is left behind. She fits in her eyebrows at the last minute, if at all. Probably doesn’t see her friends as much as she’d like. If she gets added to another WhatsApp group, she’ll scream.
In quiet moments – perhaps late at night with a glass of wine, scrolling through social media when she knows she should be sleeping – she feels the weight of her untold story. It’s not just another task on her endless to-do list; it’s a calling that refuses to be silenced.
“Does my story matter?” she wonders.
“Is it too late to start?” she asks.
“And where do I start?”
Some days she has the resources to invest in herself; other days, the thought of spending time or money on her memoir feels like an impossible luxury. The guilt of claiming time for writing mingles with the fear of letting these precious memories slip away untold.
Yet beneath the exhaustion and self-doubt burns a quiet determination. She knows her story could help others. She understands that processing her journey through writing isn’t just self-indulgence – it’s a gift to herself and, maybe, a wider audience too.
What she needs isn’t just writing advice. She needs permission to prioritise her story. She needs protected time, gentle accountability, and a community of women who understand her journey. Most of all, she needs someone who recognises that her memoir is a personal necessity.
Because this woman isn’t just juggling life’s demands – she’s carrying stories that deserve to be told, wisdom that needs to be shared, and a deep desire to make sense of her journey through writing. And I’m here to help her do just that.
