What makes Ruthy Michaels different?

Every book is created from lived experience — by Lola, a registered nurse and mum from Greater Manchester, who knows exactly what it feels like to carry everyone else's needs while quietly putting your own last.

Can I get a free colouring page?

Yes! Enter your name and email below and we'll send you a free 10-Minute Reset Kit. You are welcome.

Do you have anything to help with grief or loss?

What's good for busy mums who need a quick reset?

Our 10-Minute Reset colouring pages and journals are designed exactly for that — short, calming activities you can dip into between school runs, naptimes, or after the kids are in bed. Even a few minutes of colouring can help you feel more grounded.
