It’s bloody exhausting being a woman, don’t you think?
Trying to be everything to everyone, juggling a million things at once. And that’s not to mention all the worry…
Am I making the right decisions? Will I be successful? Will I have enough money? What if I get sick? What if my family gets sick? Will I ever fit into all the clothes in my wardrobe again?
We’ve become so consumed by who we think we “should” be and all the things we “should” do that we’ve completely lost sight of who we really are. And let’s face it, we figure that who we really are probably isn’t good enough anyway, so we do whatever we can to ensure she never sees the light of day.
And where has that got us? We’re more stressed, unhealthy and unhappy than ever before.
Well I’ve had enough – have you had enough? Debs certainly had, and that’s how the book Unfaked was born. Unfaked is Debs’ story…but it’s also your story…because it’s actually the same story for all of us.
Debs bravely shares her innermost thoughts and feelings in real time, as she heads towards rock bottom and finds her way out again. And luckily for you, her insatiable need for detail and organisation means the book has become a bit of a guide for doing life – so you not only get to experience the specific strategies and tools she uses to break free from the busyness loop and find true health and happiness, you get to apply them too.
Unfaked is all about making life easier, while having a good time in the process. It cuts through the surface level crap, and gets right to the heart of the one thing that will give you ultimate control over your body and life – to be you, the real you and nothing but the real you.
Industry Reviews
‘Unfaked provides valuable and practical advice for women with a hectic life. The insightful tips can be easily applied to assist in managing everyday situations to cultivate ongoing happiness and a healthy work–life balance. Thanks Laura for a useful and entertaining guidebook.’
- Sylvie Dimarco – Deputy Company Secretary, Perpetual Ltd
‘Honest, refreshing and 100% on point. Many times while reading Unfaked I thought it was talking directly about me! I guess that’s why I found it so empowering and helpful – because I was able to transport myself into the story and take all the learnings I specifically need for my life right now. Unfaked isn’t another “one-size fits all” solution –Laura has cleverly shared her advice and strategies in a way that allows you to make it your own, which means you’re much more likely to get the results you want, because you’re in the driving seat. I’ll definitely be recommending this book to every woman I know.’
- Catrina O’Brien – Senior Retail Development Manager, Mattel Inc
‘Unfaked lays bare the thoughts and emotions we, as ladies, all have but don’t talk about. Like Debs, I’ve always been an all or nothing kind of woman, but Unfaked made me quickly see that there’s a better way to do life – and it does so in such an entertaining, engaging and relatable way. For once I didn’t feel like I was being talked at or told what to do – Laura makes you feel like you’re getting advice from a trusted friend, which is really powerful. I can’t recommend Unfaked highly enough to all the busy women out there.’
- Christina Doyle – Head of Client Strategy, ELMO Cloud HR & Payroll
