Em Rusciano - singer, stand-up comedian and podcast maven - didn't mean to write a memoir.
She meant to write something fun. Light. Maybe erotic. Instead, she bled onto the page.
Blood, Sweat and Glitter charts the wild, messy, life-altering five years that changed everything, from sold-out national tours to a historic National Press Club address, a Senate Inquiry and surviving Melbourne's lockdowns.
This book contains everything Em couldn't say at the time: the undiagnosed neurodivergence, the hormonal hellscape, the grief, the rage and the all-consuming, gut-punch realisation that she'd built her life by someone else's rules.
This is a reckoning. A recalibration. A renaissance. Like Eat, Pray, Love, but the perimenopause remix: Bleed. Scream. Snap.
Hilarious and candid, Blood, Sweat and Glitter is for anyone pretending they're fine while quietly falling apart. Strap in - it's a hell of a ride.
