What it argues

A radically honest guide to navigating career growth as a woman, without the gloss, the guilt or the pressure to play by someone else's rules. It tackles the hidden costs of ambition: the mental load no one talks about, the unspoken codes at work, and the quiet exhaustion behind high performance.

What you get from it

  • A clear lens on the invisible barriers women face at work
  • Tools to navigate pressure, perception and power dynamics
  • A framework to grow without burning out
  • A reminder that staying in the game is its own kind of power

Why I wrote it

Because I needed it. Because my daughter will need it. And because every ambitious woman I have mentored, worked with, or cried with over chai has needed it too. Sticking On is not about perfection. It is about telling the truth: that success for women is not just about talent. It is about stamina, perception, power dynamics, and the pressure to always hold it together. No one was saying that out loud. So I did. I did not write this to impress anyone. I wrote it to be useful. Honest. Real. The kind of book that makes you feel seen, and gives you the tools to stay in the game without losing yourself.
