Last November, I began writing a book that I am so excited to be able to share is out today! STUFF I'LL TELL YOU TO DO THAT I WON'T DO MYSELF: ADVICE FROM A SELF-CONFESSED MESS is available as an eBook and paperback ... and I suppose the title pretty much says exactly what it's about - but I'll let the blurb take care of the rest:
Part self-help book, part memoir … with a twist.
Cara takes you through the events that have shaped her life – from a skin condition which left her housebound and compulsions that made her feel mentally isolated, to her struggles to communicate after trauma and her battle with anxiety. It includes some observations on life and the lessons she has learned from pain – but whether she takes her own advice is another story ...
This book covers:
~ Anxiety
~ Disordered eating
~ The destructive nature of fear
~ Comparison in the age of social media
~ Identity
~ A new take on shyness
~ Dating
~ Growing up with red hair
~ Transformation
~ Panicking
~ Chronic skin conditions
~ Trichotillomania and dermatillomania
~ An (OVER) organised mind
… and much more.
It is broken up into two parts, with the first part written in late 2019, and the second during the summer of 2020 after the events that made this year what it is and how it affected one thirty-something woman trying to navigate it all.
She is not an expert on life – she is a mess.

I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't have been able to write this book without going through TSW. Some of the most important lessons I've learned were because of that life-changing process, but this doesn't mean I believe I am an expert on life now and have got all the answers - I don't. This is a book about being human, the mistakes we make and (try to) learn from.

With all that being said, please don't feel under any pressure to buy my book if it will cause you any kind of financial strain. If you do read it, I really hope you like it and it makes you not feel so alone, because you're not.
Love always,
