Speak Your Truth: The Sunday Times top ten bestseller

Product Information

Familar to millions, Fearne Cotton's voice is her career, her livelihood and her communication to everyone - whether it's through the television, radio or her 'Happy Place' podcast. Speak Your Truth dives into all the ways we learn to stay quiet for the wrong reasons, and explores how to find your voice, assert yourself and speak out with confidence. Maybe some of the other mums will breathe a sigh of relief that the pressures off inviting the whole class to their kid’s party? Work aside, Fearne is a mother of 2 and continues to find time to support a range of charities with seemingly no challenge too big for her, whether it be climbing Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief, or trekking the Inca Trail for Breast Cancer Care. As she considered what silence would mean, Fearne began to think about other times her voice had gone unheard - as a young woman, as 'just the talent', as the foil to louder, more dominant figures.

Cotton uses personal anecdotes to explain how being speaking your truth doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been lying, rather that you may have been withholding emotions or actions.

Keeping the book page design clean, simple and very readable, we used Futura (to match the front cover) for headings and Clavo for the main text. Brave, vulnerable and deeply personal, Speak Your Truth shares Fearne's compelling story and helps you to shape your own.It was such a thrill for me to receive her new manuscript and to be one of the first few people in the world to read her latest work before it is packaged and presented to the public in book form. They are the mostly made up of authentic parts of me, but how much easier would it be to be 100% true to myself all the time… but then what I would I leave to be with my closest and what social boundaries and etiquette would that cross?

Fearne had an eager upbeat way of talking which works well for radio and for this book, as if she was interviewing herself, but I think this is part of why it felt more like a podcast.

For many of us, life can feel like it's moving too fast with pressure bearing down on us from all sides - whether that's from school or work, family or social media. On top of this I think everyone has at least three hats that they wear in life to protect themselves - myself probably ten but I’m not upset with that as those are the people that I need to be for those situations.
