Too Hard to Swallow
ByPublisher Description
“This hybrid nonfiction of memoir and self-help recounts my debilitating experience
with severe swallowing and digestive problems, which result in finding ways to
come to terms with chronic illness.
Together, we’ll journey through key lessons that I’ve learned from managing the
trauma of chronic illness, grief, loss and burnout.
Split into two parts, first join me in my quest for diagnosis and treatment, during
which I constantly battle to be heard by disparate medical teams; then I’ll show
you how I eventually became resolute in finding peace within the turmoil and
provide you with practical tools for you to do the same.
The second half of the book builds towards creating your own Prescription for
Wellness, which hinges on finding wellness within the illness, rather than curing
the illness to feel well again. I’ll offer you a new Whole-wellness approach that
considers your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing in a holistic way.
Read this book if you’re interested in personal development and wellbeing, if
you are living with chronic illness, or if you know or live with anyone who has a
chronic illness.
At the end of each chapter, you’ll find practical elements which you can collect to
create a personalised toolbox that works for you”.

About Emily Forbes
Emily Forbes is an emerging inspirational and authentic voice in the wellbeing and self-help space with a deep curiosity for the mind-body connection, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Emily writes with emotion, passion and vulnerability about managing chronic illness, multiple conditions and symptoms. She offers lessons learned on how to better cope with chronic stress, burnout, fatigue and life’s challenges too. She now writes about (and advocates for), individual and collective wellbeing, invisible disabilities, emotional and mental health, balancing life and work, reducing stress and preventing burnout.
After 22 years in the public sector, (including 12+ in the C-suite), she uses her strategic CEO skills, coaching skills and the science of wellbeing to help women rewrite their own stories, to create and curate the lives they want and deserve.
Emily founded Wylde Wellbeing in 2022 to be the very person she needed on her own journey; to help and support women experiencing chronic illness, managing multiple symptoms, burnout and / or chronic fatigue.
Emily has already amplified the voices in this arena and is on a mission to inspire people to live well in spite of, and maybe even because of, adversity or suffering (in whatever form that takes). She is passionate about supporting others to find wellness within illness and to find the glimmers of hope and possibility in the darkest of times.
