The Relaxed Woman

I have always adored Nicola's words. I’m absolutely delighted that her beautiful writing is now gathered in a book - something we can hold in our hands and return to whenever we need comfort, reassurance, or permission to become the more relaxed version of ourselves that we so often crave.

Helen Marie, psychotherapist and author of Choose You

This book is a balm for the woman who feels she has to earn her rest. It’s wise, soulful, and quietly transformative.

Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and bestselling author of The Uncomfortable Truth

Nicola Jane Hobbs is the compassionate voice you want in your ear, helping you feel safe to rest, to relax into joy, to be authentically you. Like a healing sanctuary, a portal to connection, this book will expand the possibilities for your life. I love that this book does not proclaim to be an antidote to exhaustion, stress, anxiety or guilt; it’s a roadmap to help you navigate these normal, human experiences without fear.

Suzy Reading, psychologist and author of The Self-Care Revolution

A radical permission slip for every woman who has ever felt trapped by exhaustion, guilt, or pressure to do it all.

Abby Rawlinson, Psychotherapist and author of Reclaiming You

In a world where we are required to be constantly ‘on’, this book shows us how to confidently learn how to switch off, and surrender to what we truly need.
