Are you fed up with your work/life balance? Are you stuck in a job you hate and desperate for change but don’t know where to start? Do you feel stressed, exhausted, and uninspired by your job? Then you need this book.

When podcaster, author, and journalist Anniki Sommerville first landed her dream job, she was overjoyed. But she very quickly felt trapped in a toxic work culture that was making her miserable and anxious. One evening, after missing the train home, standing on the cold platform, exhausted and quietly sobbing as she realized she wouldn’t get to see her kids before bedtime for the fourth time that week, she knew it was time for a major change.

We’re constantly told we should be doing work that is 100 percent fulfilling and makes us feel authentic and bursting with joy at every moment.

But the perfect job doesn’t exist. What if there was another way?

From running a company to becoming a freelancer and everything in between, Anniki has learnt some valuable life lessons about her relationship with work. Packed with real advice and insights, this essential guide provides you with the tools and insights you need to:
