STILL HERE
by Cherie-lee Harlow (Cherie)
Still Here is for you if you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, quietly disconnected, or simply overwhelmed, yet you keep going.
Burnout doesn’t always strike like a lightning bolt. More often, it builds slowly, through constant pressure, endless thinking and the gradual loss of connection with yourself.
This book helps you recognise the early signs, the ones that are easy to miss when life still looks “fine.”
You’ll learn how to clear the mental and emotional fog, understand what’s keeping you stuck and reconnect with your energy, values and sense of self.
This isn’t about doing more or pushing harder.
It’s about pausing, looking inward and building a life that truly honours you.
Drawing from personal experience, client journeys and research, Still Here is your compassionate guide back to yourself.
Even in burnout, you are still here and this book will help you find your way.
What readers are saying
“I love the alignment of the chapters with the seasons I was reading it quite quickly but felt there was really useful and NEW information/outlooks/reminders that I hadn’t seen or heard of before, that really resonated with me Cherie did a great job really showing how burnout doesn’t need to be the “explosion” / breakdown people imagine - that you can be living with burnout for a prolonged time and that still counts. It doesn’t need to be a crash-and-burn to be valid At first I struggled a bit with the style - bc I’m so engrained to have certain expectations with nonfiction - but I grew to love the verse form and the structure that reads almost poetically but is a mix of simple explanations of concepts and invitations to the reader I think the VOICE in her writing - its clarity, simplicity and directness combined with compassion/gentle care - is really unique and special. It’s quite powerful and it kept me going as a reader. It invited me and its gentle handling allowed me space for more difficult concepts/confronting truths. I love your clear and simplistic writing style - informative, straightforward, not fluffy, compassionate but firm. ”
