white noise it is often hard to hear – or even find – the
mental health support you need. Emma has a unique way of
cutting through to the heart of the issues we all face day-in-day-out. There isn’t another book out there like this and it should be a
mandatory read for anyone with a brain.―

feel better, then pass it on.―
