Description
I had no reason to question the life I was living.
I did everything I was supposed to do to live an amazing life – great education, great career, married, mother, home-owner, nice-car owner, fancy vacation taker – or so I thought. I was just rushing to cross things off my to-do list one after another, never stopping to ask myself if all this doing was making me happy. None of my checklists said find joy, be fulfilled, authentically align with my soul.
But then through a series of serendipitous circumstances, perfectly orchestrated by the Universe, it all came crashing in on me. I was forced to realize that none of the life I created made me happy. My life was amazing on the outside. But on the inside, I longed for something deeper, meaningful, more.
So, I scheduled a breakdown.
Hello Universe, It’s Me is not just my wake-up call. It’s yours too. I take you on my journey but as I do I provide you with the tools you need to see that your story matters, the way you navigate your life matters, and finding who you are meant to be and what you are meant to offer this world matters too.

Thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, the author and NetGalley for an ALC in return for an honest review
On the whole I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. In this instance, the author narrating her own story added a personal touch, this is not always the case. Sandhu's voice was pleasant and suited the material. She delivered the story with clarity and the pacing was just right. I am going overboard with praise for the narration because it was far better than the book itself! However, I can see that this book has won many accolades since it was released in 2021 - so what do I know!
I'm at a loss as to why the author says that she scheduled a breakdown. She took an extended 4 week holiday from work (what a luxury!), in order to get her life in order. This is not a breakdown. It is not ok to use this phraseology. I realise that she was probably being metaphorical but to use this terminology is to trivialise the experiences of all the people out there who actually have had a mental breakdown. But I am glad the author turned her life around and made changes to her life that worked for her. Mostly I'm really glad that she was able to get rid of her controlling, emotionally abusive and neglectful husband. No one needs partners like that in their life.
