Writing in the caption she told fans and followers; "Some books that have genuinely helped me. Each in a very different way yet each has left me feeling positive and boosted."
Continuing; "If you have trouble with anxiety make sure you monitor what you’re letting in.
Read good book, watch positive tv, listen to gentle podcasts, watch films that boost you. 📺🎥🎙📚"

And spoke of her upcoming release Bigger Than Us, which has now been released, the writer told her followers; "If you’ve read my previous books I think you’ll enjoy my new book out in January but it might not be what you’re expecting. It’s the most joyful book I’ve written for many reasons. It helped me to lose some old baggage I was lugging around and has given me some new practises that have brought some comfort as we live through this sh*t show."
