Life In A Body

The Awakening

By: Phylipa Dinnen, Graeme Dinnen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

So, you’ve been an adult for a while now. Long enough to realise that life isn’t just a sequence of random events but a finely woven tapestry of past choices, inherited neuroses, and the occasional misplaced optimism.

And now, for reasons best known to you - perhaps curiosity, perhaps a mid-life itch, perhaps the vague but pressing suspicion that your own children will inherit more than just your nose - you’ve decided to ask the bigger questions. Who am I? Why am I like this? And, crucially, can I blame anyone else?

Enter Phylipa Dinnen. If you knew her, you’d know she doesn’t do small talk. She doesn’t skim the surface, nod sympathetically, or leave you with a few motivational platitudes. No, she wades into the murky depths of human nature with the precision of a forensic pathologist and the patience of a priest.

Learn about the long-term impact of your birth - whether natural, C-section, forceps, drug-assisted or otherwise and how it shapes your life and well-being.

She’s spent over two decades listening, dissecting, unpicking, challenging - face to face, over the phone, by email - unravelling lives like a master weaver, working in reverse.

Her clients adore her, they recommend her, and many have pleaded with her to put it all down in writing.

This is that book.
