How to break up well

My book, How to Break Up Well: Surviving and Thriving After Separation, is my story and the stories of others who have experienced heartbreak. It includes gems of advice from divorce coaches, family court lawyers, relationship experts and psychotherapists. I also write about relationships and how to get help when you need it, the culture of marriage and love, and to decide whether someone is right for you – do you stay or go?

Writing is my passion

I write for a range of reputed New Zealand media: The NZ Listener, The Post, the Spinoff, the Stuff magazines and Stuff online; Vanity Fair, BBC and Radio New Zealand. During my 30 year journalism career, I’ve won awards, from a couple of Canon media awards to an Asia 2000 award. I’m not too bothered about those, though. My life is so much richer from the people I have met, and the experiences I have gained through journalism. I’ve been given an intimate glimpse into so many lives. I’ve had the privilege of meeting some interesting and incredible individuals, and the honour of telling their stories.
