SUMMARY:The launch of Wormhole by Hannah McElhinney
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host the launch of Hanna McElhinney’s ground-breaking non-fiction examination of alternative therapies\, Wormhole.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn October 2022\, Lauren – a young Australian woman in her mid-thirties – left for Malaysia to undergo an alternative medical treatment for Chronic Lyme Disease. She never returned. Haunted by her cousin’s death\, writer Hannah McElhinney retraces Lauren’s descent into the alternative medicine wormhole to investigate how she got there\, and how easy it may be for others to do the same. \nBoth a deeply personal account and a wide-ranging exploration of medical misogyny\, wellness culture and misinformation\, Wormhole is an urgent and empathetic addition to the conversation about the future of modern medicine and wellness culture. \nFree\, but bookings are essential. \nFor information regarding accessibility at Readings Emporium\, please click here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n+−

SUMMARY:Lucy Ridge in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to hear Dani Valent talking with Lucy Ridge about her book\, Fed Up.\n\nDisillusioned chef and sustainable food advocate Lucy Ridge is sick of the barked orders\, the long hours\, the inappropriate comments in a male-dominated hospitality environment. It’s ruining her love for cooking. So she decides to go searching for a more meaningful relationship with food. Taking inspiration from her first female mentor in the kitchen\, she seeks out other women working in food and farming across the country to teach her how to grow\, make\, harvest and live a different kind of life\, with ethical food production at the centre.\n\nFed Up takes readers on a journey from paddock to plate\, exploring the role of women in food production and prompting us to think more deeply about the people responsible for our dinner.\n\nFree\, but bookings are essential.\n\nPlease book here.

SUMMARY:The Overachiever’s Reset by Fleur Marks
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to be hosting the launch of The Overachiever’s Reset by Fleur Marks.\n\nYou’ve built an impressive life. You deliver\, you perform and you rise to every demand. Yet beneath the achievement is a quiet truth many high performers recognise: the version of success you’ve been living is no longer sustainable. If you feel stretched\, tired or unseen inside your own life\, you are not alone. Author Fleur Marks was a relentless overachiever until a health crisis forced her to confront the cost of this pace. What followed was a radical reset of how she lived\, led and defined her worth.\n\nThis book is that reset. It doesn’t ask you to reduce your ambition. It offers a new way to pursue it\, without losing yourself in the process. You’ll uncover the beliefs that drive overachievement\, neutralise unhelpful perfectionism and build a healthier path to impact\, influence and fulfilment.\n\nFree\, but bookings are essential.\n\nPlease book here.
