Duck Yeah

Build a Life You Actually Like Living. A Witty Guide to Getting Unstuck, Rebuilding Your Life, and Actually Enjoying Your Life Again.

When the worst part is past and the long part starts.

About the book

Rebuilding when life knocked you over, written by someone who’s been knocked over.

You lost the job. The relationship. The plan. The version of yourself that used to wake up and just get on with it. Now you are standing in the rubble with a kettle and a dog and a vague sense that something has to happen, and quite soon, and quite probably by you.

Duck Yeah is the rebuild book. Not the inspirational rebuild book. Not the “wake up at 5am and journal your gratitude” rebuild book. The actual one. The one that admits day three of any new chapter is genuinely terrible. The one that says yes, you will cry in a public car park, and yes, that does count as progress.

What’s inside: the difference between a fresh start and a slow restart (slow restarts win). The eleven things to give yourself permission to stop doing. A working alternative to morning routines. And the gentle but unflinching reminder that you are not building back the old life, because the old life is over. You are building a new one. That is a different job.

You are not starting over. You are starting from here.

For readers of Mel Robbins, Glennon Doyle, Cheryl Strayed, and anyone who has rebuilt a life from a one-bedroom rental and a borrowed kettle.

“There’s no sugary sweetness or fake optimism. It’s a gentle push that whispers, ‘Move forward even if you’re doing it with snack residue on your shirt and a mind full of uncertainty.’”
