It’s here. Today is Pre-Order Day for Work Is Not Your Life.
That sentence alone feels surreal. Because this isn’t just a book — it’s a rally cry.
It’s the unlearning of hustle culture. It’s the truth-telling of what burnout really costs. And it’s the beginning of a new kind of ambition. One that doesn’t sacrifice the rest of your life for success.
Why I Wrote This Book
Because I burned out while "doing everything right." Because I've coached hundreds of smart, driven people who felt stuck in the same patterns. Because I wanted a framework that wasn’t just about surviving work — but actually integrating life.
This book is the result of that mission.
Work Is Not Your Life is for leaders, creatives, parents, professionals, and anyone who has ever thought:
"There has to be another way."
There is. And I wrote it down.
What You’ll Find Inside
This isn’t a fluffy "you got this" pep talk. This is the real, practical, honest playbook I use with clients every day:
How to shift your relationship with time, energy, and expectations
What it actually takes to bounce forward from burnout
Why emotional fitness matters more than hustle
How to design your Integrated Year and Integrated Week without overhauling your life
And what it looks like to lead without losing yourself
It’s honest. It’s bold. And it’s got a little Canadian sass in every chapter.
What Happens Next
You can now pre-order the book wherever you buy your books. (Hardcover, paperback, ebook—and yes, the workbook is coming too.)
There’s also something new: The Integration Lab.
This is our community for real-world, real-time support. I’ll be inviting Founding Members starting today. Because reading the book is powerful — but doing the work alongside others? That’s where the magic happens.
How You Can Support This Work
Pre-order the book (and the workbook if you’re a nerd like me)
