A Beautiful Chaos

Coming Soon


A memoir of ambition, collapse and the unexpected freedom of falling apart

This isn’t the book I set out to write.


It’s the one I promised to a friend I lost too soon, and to every woman carrying far more than anyone realises.

It all began, absurdly, on the hard shoulder of the M25.

Eight months pregnant, full calendar, full bladder, and the stark realisation that I was holding together a life that no longer held me.

I’m Kate Fletcher, CEO advisor, executive coach, and now (somewhat unexpectedly), author of A Beautiful Chaos.

This isn’t a ten-step guide or a glossy manifesto for fixing your life. It’s a survival story.

A sharply honest memoir for anyone who looks like they’ve got it together while quietly wondering, What am I actually doing?

What Happens When the Façade Cracks?

You don’t crumble.
You reconstruct.

A Beautiful Chaos traces the wild, sometimes ridiculous, often painful and unexpectedly liberating path of falling apart and rebuilding on your own terms.

From the boardroom to breakdown.
From elite sport to solo parenting.
From legal battles to radical reinvention.

This isn’t a fall from grace.
It’s a rethink from the inside out.

Told with dry wit, zero self-pity and a sharp eye for the absurd, it’s deeply human, occasionally inappropriate and relentlessly real.

This book is for:

Women quietly asking, “Is this it?”

  • High achievers who’ve run out of road

  • Mothers doing three jobs before breakfast

  • Leaders questioning the version of success they once chased

Think: Sheryl Sandberg in reverse.
Not Lean In. Lean out. Let go. Rebuild. On your terms.

Why now?

Because women are done contorting themselves to fit systems that were never built for them.

We don’t need another book telling us how to have it all.
We need stories that show what it really takes to remake a life with grit, grace and a lukewarm flapjack in hand.

If you've ever whispered "What now?"
…in a boardroom corridor, a supermarket car park, or whilst clutching cold coffee in traffic, this one's for you.

And it’s for Helen.

My brilliant, brave friend who made me promise to write it.
She didn’t live to see it finished. But I kept my word.

This is for her and every woman who has smiled through crisis, carried the invisible load and been told, “This is just how it is.”
