It was such an honour reading Baked in Pain. What an authentic read. I am fully inspired. This book is for keeps. Thank you for opening your soul to share such an intimate story with the world. It’s a re-read.

I have just put your book down. I cried bitterly for the first four chapters. I have no words except that I admire your strength, resilience and courage to write the book and share your story. It has enabled me to remember my own pain with the aim of confronting it. Your book is a story of hope.I have just put your book down. I cried bitterly for the first four chapters.

Baked in Pain was not only encouraging, it was such a close reference that it restored a place in me that was feeling so empty, a place that was basically on the verge of giving up on trying to become a better version of myself.

Sad but amazing at the same time. You are truly a role model.

I had to stop reading because it was too emotional for me. It took me back to some things that I had chosen not to deal with. The best thing about your story is that it inspires so much hope.

I cried, I laughed and I related. Great read. It felt like I was listening to you telling the story. So inspirational, well done.

I just got the end of your real life MBA thesis. What a page turner! I marvel at your resilience and determination. Your book had me gasping for air. It is empowering and I have taken out some key personal learnings.

It is a rarity to come across such class, authenticity, beauty, splendour, excellence and depth wrapped up in one. I am in awe of you, your spirit and courage. Such a well-written book and a story worth telling.

I cried. I validated the little girl in me. I am STILL here! I will ALWAYS be relevant. From reading your book I know I can face anything. Your strength, perseverance and bravery give me strength.

What a wow … it was a captivating read. I binged on it from start to finish – I will have to go back to savour the pages some more. I love the relationship you’ve had with yourself through the years, how you’ve nurtured yourself and became your own best friend and supporter of your dreams and goals. Thank you for sharing your story.
