What happens when all your best qualities quit without notice?
One morning, without warning, every trait that made you you handed in its resignation. Sleeps-Soundly-All-Night vanished at 2:17 AM. Looks-Great-In-Jeans shrank two sizes overnight. Quick-Thinking was replaced by the far slower Umm-You-Know-That-Thing-With-The-Thing.
Welcome to perimenopause: the company restructuring nobody asked for.
Where the F&ck Did All My Best Qualities Go? is a fully illustrated humor book that tells the story of one woman's midlife corporate restructuring through original characters shaped like estrogen molecules, each one representing a trait that's been reassigned, demoted, or laid off entirely. It's funny, honest, and uncomfortably relatable for any woman navigating perimenopause, and the perfect gift for the friend who needs to know she's not alone.
36 illustrated pages with sharp, personal writing that captures what perimenopause actually feels like - not the medical version, the real one. If you've lived it, you'll recognize it. And if you know someone in the midst of the physical and emotional restructuring, let them know they're not alone.
Written by an advertising creative director, adjunct advertising professor, and someone who actually researched how midlife women want brands to talk to them.
