'Before Sharni Layton became an All-Australian AFLW star, she was a gun netballer. By 2017, she had been named ANZ Championship Player of the Year, was captain of the Diamonds and had won Commonwealth Games Gold along with two World Cups for Australia. On the outside it looked as if she was living the dream. On the inside, it was different. Her confidence was shot and a career's worth of suppressed anxiety finally boiled over, leading to full-blown burnout.

'No Apologies is a candid, inspiring and hilarious account of how one woman bounced back from rock bottom - and gave herself permission to fly.'(Publication summary)
