Heal Your Sh*t

A No BS-Guide to Choosing Better, Loving Smarter ad Finally Giving a Sh*t About Yourself

Heal Your Sh*t is for anyone ready to stop carrying the weight of unresolved emotional pain. In this bold and practical guide, Nicola Ball blends compassion with straight-talking wisdom to help you face your inner struggles head-on. Through transformative exercises, mindset shifts, and self-compassion practices, you’ll learn to release the past, heal deep emotional wounds, and create a life defined by clarity, freedom, and authentic joy.

You didn’t pick up this book because your life is perfect.

You picked it up because you’re exhausted — by your own choices. By your patterns. By the same emotionally unavailable situationship in a different hoodie. By the job that looks great on LinkedIn but is slowly crushing your soul. By waking up with that whisper in your gut that says, “How the fck am I still here?”*

Welcome to Heal Your Sht* — part field manual, part reckoning, part rally cry for women who are done performing perfection and ready to build a life that actually feels like their own.

This isn’t self-help wrapped in toxic positivity and scented candles. It’s raw, funny, therapeutic-as-hell truth-telling for anyone who’s tried journaling, therapy, over-functioning, rage crying, people-pleasing, ghosting, re-downloading the app, and being “chill” — and is still stuck.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

• Mindset shifts that punch like truth bombs and make you go “f*ck, that’s me.”

• Journal prompts that hurt a little (in a good way) — not the fluffy kind, the ones that make you see your patterns in high-def.

• Why your nervous system is running the show (and why real love feels boring… until it doesn’t).

• Boundary scripts that don’t burn your life down — but also don’t let your mum walk all over you at Sunday lunch.

• Identity work, burnout truths, and ‘holy sh*t, I do that’ moments that help you go from emotionally exhausted to emotionally equipped.

This isn’t about healing quietly in a corner. This is about healing like the powerful, messy, brilliant woman you are — out loud, with a snack in one hand and your dignity in the other.

You’ll learn:

• Why you’re hooked on chaos and calling it chemistry

• Why being needed isn’t the same as being loved

• How to spot the trauma loops you’ve been calling your “type”

• How to stop shapeshifting just to be chosen

• How to set boundaries that feel like a spiritual experience

If you’re overperforming, overexplaining, over giving, and secretly wondering when the peace is supposed to kick in — this book is your sign.

It's therapy-adjacent, sweary, emotionally intelligent, wildly validating, and peppered with just enough sass to keep you laughing through the tears. Heal Your Sh*t is your invitation to stop spiralling, start choosing, and finally come back to the version of you that never needed fixing — just a bit of f*cking space to breathe.

You don’t need a glow-up. You don’t need to “manifest him back.” You need boundaries, nervous system tools, and a reminder that you’re not crazy — you’re patterned.

And patterns? They can be rewritten.
