Book 1 in the Inner Critic Series
THE SANITY LOOP
Five days to "align." One rule: Don't drink the tea.
Aera Kim-Harris has spent twenty-four years believing her anxiety was a defect. A data analyst who triple-checks every spreadsheet to survive her corporate PIP, she's been told her hyper-vigilance is a weakness.
Then comes the mandatory "Wellness Alignment" retreat.
On the secluded Isla Calma, the air is too clean, the facilitator is too charming, and the "Clarity" supplements promise a life without worry. But as Aera watches her colleagues—the burned-out engineers and the happy-masking marketers—flatten into eerily compliant versions of themselves, she realises her anxiety isn't a glitch. It's a radar.
In a race against a Friday deadline, she has to trust the one thing she's always tried to silence: her Inner Critic.
Why this isn't just a thriller:
The Sanity Loop is a first-of-its-kind Hybrid Fiction experience. Wrapped within this high-stakes psychological thriller is the Inner Critic Learning Lab—a dedicated section for self-reflection and coaching.
