These aren't just my stories...
These were medicine in my own healing journey
Stories are medicine.
They hold memory, reveal truth, and remind up of who we are becoming. And sometimes, the medicine is laughter – because who you inspire people to laugh, their minds relax, their hearts open and the whole world benefits from that energy.
My books aren’t here to entertain. They’re here to crack something open in you. To remind you that you are not alone in your struggles.
To show you that resilience isn’t just about surviving the storm – it’s about finding the wisdom hidden inside it.
Each page is a mirror of my own journey through silence, chaos and pain… ant the resilience that came from it. But more importantly, they’re invitations for you to pause, reflect, and choose differently.
Because resilience isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about alchemising what broke you into what remakes you.
RESILIENT AS F*CK (2018)
THE SUBTLE ART OF BENDING NOT BREAKING
Written unexpectedly on retreat at North Stradbroke Island, Resilient as F*ck wasn’t planned. It arrived. Two weeks before, I had no idea I’d be writing a book. But over those days – in between co-facilitating, cooking, massaging and dealing with my own self-doubt that I even had anything good to offer – the words poured through me as I looked out to the Coral Sea.
This book is a raw culmination of the lessons and lived experiences that have shaped my understanding of resilience. Not the glossy kind. The kind forged in the fire of life’s darkest moments.
My anchor beliefs guiding me through every breakdown and into every breakthrough:
It is always darkest before the dawn.
There is always a way.
As far as the pendulum swings one way, it must eventually swing back.
These truths became my compass. They helped me rise, again and again, and they can help you too.

RESILIENT AS F*CK (2018)
LIZ JARVIS
"Your Journey towards Joy is unique and this story book will help you get there faster.
Raw and real this very human share from the heart of one who insisted on pulling up her big girl pants rather than being a "victim" reminds us we all have a unique journey towards our Joy. Thank you for trusting the reader with your story"
DAVID THOMPSON
"Teaches you a lot
about resilience
Resilience is definitely something that our society sometimes struggles with these days - with technology often making life so so comfortable. What I loved about this book, is how the chapters are broken up into about 8 different aspects of resilience. The chapter on "sense of humour* I found to be particularly excellent and useful for me. In some ways, this book reminded me of Oprah's book, on the things she knows to be true.
Overall, a great short read, really heartfelt writing, and I left feeling uplifted.

WHAT THE HELL (2020)
a return to love
Two years after my first book, I wrote What the Hell – a book that took me almost as long to birth as the experiences inside it.
This isn’t a fluffy feel-good story. If that’s what you are looking for, keep scrolling.
This book is about trauma, abuse and mental health – not as abstract concepts but as lived experience.
It’s for anyone who has walked through hell and wondered if the light would every return.
With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, I share not just survival, but the path to thriving after devastation. Because just as all good things must come to an end, so too must the dark times.
This book is both a mirror and a lantern:
A mirror that reflects the pain that many carry silently.
A lantern that says: you are not broken, you are becoming.
If you’re in the middle of the storm, let this be your reminder:
You are the author of your life. You can decide, at any moment to change the trajectory of your story.
Because you are not just a survivor.
You are the creator.
