THE BOOK

Cover of Just Fckn Get On With It by Nicky Merrick
Nicky has written a book called Just Fckn Get On With It.

It's not a victim story. There's no toxic positivity. It's just Nicky being honest, sweary and sometimes funny. Just Fckn Get On With It is about how it’s possible to have an amazing life alongside misdiagnosis, terrorism and PTSD, disability and the death of her daughter Imogen.

It's a gritty, honest account of how people can go through awful experiences and still build a joyful and meaningful life, a life lived on their own terms.

You can read the first two chapters for free.

WHAT MAKES NICKY A GREAT GUEST?

No script. No bullshit. Nicky talks openly about grief, disability, PTSD and how the bad days sit alongside the good. Three distinct stories in one life. Misdiagnosis, terrorism and bereavement, each with its own set of challenges. 

Nicky has also run several businesses while managing chronic ill health, raising four children, home educating and volunteering as a director and founder of a not for profit organisation - Rainbow H.E. Events.

She’s practical, pragmatic and determined to live life on her own terms.
