The laundry was never really about the laundry.
For years, Marie thought she was failing at ordinary life.
She could manage high-pressure work, big responsibilities, and everyone else's needs - yet still find herself paralysed by a floordrobe, a forgotten wash, or a school uniform left damp in the machine for two days. What looked like chaos from the outside felt, from the inside, like shame, making readers feel seen and understood in their struggles.
Laundry - 7 to 10 Working Days is a funny, raw, and deeply honest memoir about mental load, masking, motherhood, burnout, misdiagnosis, and the moment one woman began to realise she was never broken - just running on the wrong settings. It offers a candid look at the emotional weight many carry silently.
Tailored for anyone who has ever stared at a simple task and felt completely unable to begin, this book resonates with those who manage mental load, motherhood challenges, or feel misunderstood, for anyone who has ever looked capable on the outside while quietly falling apart underneath, and for those seeking relief through recognition and understanding.

Because sometimes the pile on the floor is not laziness.
Sometimes the pile on the floor is not laziness. Instead, it is a life trying to tell the truth, offering readers hope that their struggles are valid and shared.
