A note from Evelyn
For the woman who's ready to steer
If you’re here, I’m guessing something made you pull over.
Maybe you’re so busy getting there that you’ve lost track of where “there” is. Maybe you’re the strong one, the dependable one, the person everyone counts on to drive, while your own needs wait patiently in the back seat.
Maybe you’ve reached a crossroads and the old map no longer fits. Or maybe nothing is wrong at all, and you simply sense there’s more road ahead than the one you’re on.
I know that feeling. I’ve lived it. And I’ve spent fifteen years sitting with women who are living it too.
What I offer isn’t a quick fix or a list of things to improve. It’s something more honest: a place to stop, look around, and find your bearings. I won’t tell you where to go because the road you’re on is yours to choose.
Everything I share comes from lived experience. My own storms, my own wrong turns, and the hard-won discovery that the strength you’re looking for has been inside you all along.
Sometimes, when you pause long enough, you can finally hear your own voice again.
That’s exactly what Taking the Wheel is for: a navigation system for living a happier, more authentic life.

A note from Evelyn
For the steady ones who carry more than others see
If you’re here, I imagine you’re one of life’s steady ones, the strong, the dependable, the quiet heart who holds space for everyone else.
I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer something gentler, something steadier — a sanctuary to breathe again, to soften, to listen, and to remember your own wisdom.
Everything I share comes from lived experience, intuition and compassion; from walking through my own storms and learning how to pause, how to ground, how to reconnect with the strength and light that never truly leaves us.

THE BOOK, COMING NOVEMBER 2027
MY STORY. YOUR ROAD.
There comes a moment in life when you realise you can’t keep driving on autopilot.
Maybe something unexpected happens.
Maybe something breaks.
Or maybe, quietly and without drama, you realise the life you’re living no longer feels quite like your own.
Taking the Wheel is my story of what happened when I had to stop, look honestly at where I was going, and make some choices of my own.
Through stories of love, loss, motherhood, identity, illness, healing and the many twists and turns along the way, I share the moments that changed my direction, including the ones I didn’t see coming.
But this book isn’t only about my journey. As you travel through my stories, I invite you to pause and look at your own life. To notice the beliefs, choices, people and patterns that may be shaping your direction. To ask yourself the questions that are sometimes easier to avoid.
Think of it as part memoir, part navigation system.
I share my road.
You get to look at yours.
Because I don’t have all the answers and I certainly haven’t always got it right. What I’ve learned is that sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause long enough to hear our own inner voice, choose what comes next, and take the wheel.

Her presentation was inspiring, uplifting, and impactful, leaving graduates motivated to move forward with confidence as they embark on the next chapter of their rehabilitation care journey.
Thank you Evelyn for speaking your truth.
