Big news!
I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite.
I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now.

Rants about things that used to be easy and are now really hard...
Giving blood
I used to be a regular. I would rock up to a clinic at the hospital where I work, deliver my pint of blood, and be back at my desk within 30 mins

End of an (excellent) era. @heidijoberg.bsky.social gives her last ever WIN talk. It’s been a blast, an honour and a privilege to be involved throughout.
