Hi everyone and welcome to this week's Ask Alice. I hope you've had a great week.

Now today's episode was a question about my book which I was obviously going to jump at the chance of talking about because it is not long now until publication.

So the question read what can we expect from your new book and for those of you that might not know or might not have seen

I have written a new book.

It is published on the 4th of July, which is a Thursday, and I thought I'd give you a little bit of

an insight as to what you can expect, because as some of you I'm sure know I have written three books

previously but this book is very different as an offering for me and so I

thought I'd just give you a little sneak peek as to what you can expect. When I

first decided to write this book,

I'd had a couple of conversations

with a couple of publishers about writing another book.

And I felt like I'd really reached a point

in my life and especially in my career where I really felt that I had

a lot to say about what I'd learned, what I'd experienced and what I'd kind of gained from being in the industry for what is now 10 years.

I'm sure many of you know that I have been in a very bumpy journey let's say with my body, with myself. I've gone from

starting my career aged 21 to now being 31 and within that time done so much and learnt so much. I know that for me it just

felt like the right time to put pen to paper and sort of I guess in a cathartic way explore

some of the stuff that's happened over the last 10 years and to write down my

reflections on it. The book is called Give Me Strength which as I'm sure you can tell is a bit of a running theme throughout all of my stuff that I do. But it's because it feels like such a perfect title for what I feel I've kind of I've gained over the last 10 years and beyond. The book really starts with

it a reflection of my life, so going way back to the things that I feel really had shaped

how I felt about my body and myself, my confidence.

So starting very young and then working all the way up till present day.
