Overview: Powerful: Be the Expert in Your Own Life is Maisie Hill's follow-up to her bestselling Period Power, turning her attention to stress hormones and the nervous system. Drawing on two decades as a life coach and hormone expert, Hill explains why we react as we do to pressure, criticism, and overwhelm. Packed with case studies from her own coaching practice, this practical guide helps readers understand their wiring and make lasting change. It's an essential companion for anyone ready to stop people-pleasing and start living on their own terms.. About the Book: Do you struggle with procrastination? Do you feel irritated, worked up, or completely overwhelmed more often than you'd like? Maisie Hill argues that it's not a personal failing — it's how you're wired. In Powerful, she turns her expertise in hormones and the nervous system towards everyday struggles: people-pleasing, criticism, boundary-setting, and burnout. Using simple, tried-and-tested coaching methods and real case studies from her own practice, Hill helps readers get unstuck and build habits that actually last. The book breaks down the biology of stress responses — cortisol, adrenaline, and the autonomic nervous system — into plain, relatable language, showing why certain situations trigger certain reactions, and what to do about it. Rather than generic advice, Hill offers a framework readers can adapt to their own circumstances and responsibilities, whether that's parenting, work deadlines, or relationships. Each chapter combines honest storytelling with practical exercises and reflective prompts, so readers can track how small shifts in sleep, boundaries, and self-talk ripple outward into calmer daily life. As with Period Power and Perimenopause Power, Hill's voice is warm, funny, and non-judgemental — coaching-room wisdom made accessible on the page. For anyone who has felt life is happening to them rather
