What if the system you devoted your life to - school, work, being a 'good person' - was never built for you in the first place?For decades, Yvonne followed the rules. She got the degrees, landed the jobs, racked up the student loans, and chased the ever-receding promise that if she just worked harder, she’d finally arrive.Instead, she arrived at burnout. Bankruptcy. And a nervous system stuck in permanent 'danger' mode.In this true story, Yvonne shares what happens when doing everything 'right' still gets you nowhere - and how, piece by stubborn piece, she started crafting a life that actually fits. From examining dead things in the field to coming alive in her own story, this is a memoir of unlearning, unbecoming, and finally coming home to the self.With dark humour, bite, and hard-won insight, Yvonne invites us into the trenches of trauma, the mess of midlife reinvention, and the surprising magic that comes when you stop waiting for permission - and start making your own luck.For every exhausted overachiever, every first-gen student, and every woman who wonders if it’s too late to choose herself - this one’s for you.
