Waking Up: How I Grew to Love My Body and Myself While Solo-Hiking Across Northern England, A Memoir

The award-winning, riveting true story about overcoming hardship to fulfill a most deeply held dream…

​​​​​Scarred by disability.

Derailed by ADHD.

Believing herself broken and weak.

The odds were certainly stacked against Kay, walking all by herself from one side of England to the other.

Here’s the interesting thing: those elements which Kay perceived as liabilities became assets.

Fuel for empowerment.

And the trek was only the beginning.

Come on a journey of discovery..

Waking Up is the true story of a woman who used to need a wheelchair and couldn't use her hands almost at all.

The book tells how she grew into an artist, creator and adventurer.

Give yourself permission to be caught up in the magic… in cheering for Kay, you just may end up cheering for yourself.

"An absolute gem of a book that radiates positivity and inspiration from start to finish… its free-flowing narrative style captivates the reader from the very first page." • – Monique Giroux, Digital Nomad and Forest Therapy Coach, author of Lost Intentionally Waking Up unfolds in a unique and conversational style.

That's when the magic happens

Or helps us

Or upholds us

As we spark something wonderful in our own life."
