Smile. Bend over. Don’t make a fuss.

J E Rudd’s ‘Confessions of a Lady Gardener’ exposes the everyday sexism driving women out of horticulture - furious, darkly funny, and unflinching.

The scariest truths arrive like shadows - unwanted, unsettling.

But when we stop running and let them speak, the weight lifts.

Not because they’re kind, but because they’re honest.

And in that honesty, we are finally free.

'An Open Letter to My School Bullies' is an honest reflection that explores the idea that whilst kindness breeds kindness, the same can also be said for the opposite.

Relationships matter because they shape us.

Conflict isn’t failure, it reveals boundaries, trust, and authenticity.

Meaning comes from quality connection, not quantity.
