Good. The chapter is on its way.
Your copy is right here. Download it below and it's yours. Then check your inbox and click the link in the email I just sent. That confirms it's really you, and it tells my email service you actually want to hear from me. Read the chapter when the house is quiet. If something in it makes you feel a bit more hopeful, that's the whole point of it.
When it arrives, reply and tell me one sentence about what you do, or what you used to do. I read every one.
You don't have to work this out alone.
I write about this every day, in a place that's easier to visit than a page like this. Instagram, under the name SlowingTheSpin.
What to do with the spin when the news won't stop. What turns out to be sitting underneath a job title once the title is gone. The small, unglamorous things that actually help, from someone who has been through it all and came out the other side with her sense of humour mostly intact.
I'm @slowingthespin. Come and say hello.
