Blood, Sweat and Glitter

De: Em Rusciano

Narrado por: Em Rusciano

Hilarious and candid, this is Em Rusciano’s coming-of-middle-age story. Consider yourself warned: she’s neurodivergent and hormonal AF.

Em Rusciano has some stories to tell! In the space of a few short years, she quit breakfast radio, birthed her third child and staged a sold-out tour across the country – all before being hurled headfirst into the existential crisis of lockdowns. She felt everything at full volume: the burnout, the joy, the rage ... and a deeply inconvenient urge to get into craft.
Then came the missing puzzle pieces: ADHD and Autism. Two diagnoses that suddenly made everything – her entire life – click into place.
In this book, Em unpacks what it means to exist in a world that was never built for you, raising three gloriously neurodivergent kids while redefining her own limits. From her landmark National Press Club address to her game-changing role in the 2023 ADHD Senate inquiry, Em isn’t just sharing her story: she’s challenging the status quo and demanding change.

Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with righteous rage, Blood, Sweat and Glitter is a guide to being a neurodivergent, perimenopausal, middle-aged rock star in a world that prefers ‘women of a certain age’ to go off quietly into the sunset. Strap in – it’s a hell of a ride.
