Gifty Enright, author of 'Octopus on a Treadmill'

On today's podcast I had the immense pleasure of chatting with the author of the book, 'Octopus on a Treadmill', Gifty Enright. As a young woman growing up in Ghana she dreamt of having lots of shoes, big cupboards, and the trappings of success, so she moved to London to fulfill her dream. She quickly discovered that she missed that strong sense of community that she enjoyed in Ghana, but she dug deep and carved out a very successful career and life for herself in London. After a number of years this successful, hard working career mum hit a "Burnout" wall that she knew could not be solved with the medication that was being prescribed to her. This avid reader who was determined to get better, did some deep research to find a sustainable solution to her life situation. She applied what she learnt and after just three months she was on the road to recovery and hasn't looked back since. She wrote the book 'Octopus on a Treadmill' to share what she learned so that other busy career mums who are constantly juggling don't hit the same burnout wall that she did. As well as being an author, she is a public speaker and a coach and she doesn't care so much about those shoes anymore!
