restful productivity to live deliberately & avoid overwhelm 

Books

You might need Subtle Resistance if:

  • Running on empty has become your default, and you don’t know how to recharge.

  • Setting boundaries feels uncomfortable—or even impossible.

  • The never-ending to-do list of “adulting” leaves you feeling overwhelmed.

  • A sense of balance, purpose, and energy feels just out of reach.

  • A friend in your life is struggling, and you wish you had the right words to encourage them.

  • Navigating a major life transition—whether it’s a new job, a move, or parenthood—has left you wondering, what’s next?

  • Juggling responsibilities feels like a constant struggle to keep up.

  • Redefining priorities and making space for what truly matters feels long overdue.

Is your brain constantly stuck in ‘buffering’ mode?

Do you ever wish there was a manual for adulting... but, like, a fun one?

After years of meeting everyone else’s expectations, April hit burnout—again. Determined to break the cycle, she rebuilt her life with balance and intention.

Now, she shares the lessons she learned along the way.

Subtle Resistance is a practical guide for anyone overwhelmed by life’s demands. This book is a collection of hard-earned lessons and gentle reminders. With relatable examples and actionable steps, it helps you set boundaries, reclaim your energy, and make choices that align with your values—without guilt.

If you’re ready to stop running on empty and start living with clarity, this book is for you.

After years of writing, revising, and second-guessing (because let’s be honest, that’s part of the process), Subtle Resistance is officially out in the world! Holding the finished book in my hands feels surreal—but what I’m most excited about is you holding it in yours.

I’d love to keep the conversation going! On my Substack, I share behind-the-scenes thoughts on writing, book updates, and practical ideas for building a life with more balance and intention.

You’ll also be the first to hear about upcoming events—whether it’s virtual chats, in-person gatherings, or new projects in the works.
