Hard copy available on Amazon
This is not a typical self-help book. How to Get Out of the Fog is my personal story about the struggles I faced as an immigrant mother living alone in a new country. I carried huge debt, had difficulty with the language, and could not find work because my degrees were not recognized. I had no family support and every day felt like a battle to survive, with a little baby by my side.
In this book, I share the real strategies I used to overcome these challenges and rebuild my life. These are practical tools I tested in my own journey, from small steps that created big changes to mindset shifts that helped me stay grounded during difficult times.
I wrote this book for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in their own fog. It is honest, relatable, and full of actionable strategies that worked for me. It does not push perfection or clichés. Instead, it focuses on learning to navigate life with resilience, creativity, and self-compassion.
Through my story, I show that even in the hardest circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, regain control, and move forward. At the end of the book, you will find practical exercises you can apply to your own life. These are the same exercises that helped me reclaim my path.
If you are ready to take small, meaningful steps toward clarity and change, How to Get Out of the Fog will guide you along the way.
What readers are saying
My impressions are that this book has helped me a great deal. There is a tone in the authors voice that is really acting on the same words used throughout the book which is tough love. You don’t really get anywhere in business or personal life without a little grit and self respect. I enjoyed the tasks set out to help with my discovery process explaining to me that indeed I can look after myself and do the things but that also told me there was some areas in my life I was ignoring for example exercise. I linked the chapters to be so simple that it didn’t take to long to read and that’s a big plus for me. Knowing I am not the only one that will try to find office space. I was grateful for the opportunity to learn about the author and I really grew a little bit as I formed new patterns of behaviour from what I was learning as I read each page. Yes, I carried the book around in my bag. As I’d recently reached my menopausal first stages and was really feeling stretched to the bone for insight and clarity this book is very enjoyable and straightforward I would recommend it to those feeling a bit of brain fog and resistance to pushing themselves into their next stage. – Kathryn Toomey
An interactive book with many useful examples that can help you increase your self-worth. I use very often the term we are work in progress as I really believe we are and I love the fact Tatiana uses it as well. It is a personal story of how Tatiana turned around her self worth. I recommend reading and practicing the exercises in the book. – Adela
I’m normally rather sceptical as far as books like this one are concerned because I’m one of those people who know better or don’t have enough time to slow down and think about anything else than work, kids, what to make for dinner, etc., but I’m glad I convinced myself to read it because it was great to slow down and look at my life from a different perspective.
I especially liked the practical part of the book with exercises. Normally when I read quickly, I forget quickly as well but when doing the exercises, I really had to put some effort in the answers, so it was definitely a valuable tool. – Mada Oleksy
How to get out of the fog is a beautiful, practical and very personal book. It will help women to become more aware about their internal thought processes, how to “neutralize” and turn these around to a positive, confident mindset, without losing sight for the importance of staying vulnerable too. It’s personal as Tatiana shares her own story and how she turned around her self worth. Its practical with all the great exercises, affirmations and tips. Highly recommended! – Renée van der Burg
I really enjoyed this book. It helped me get out of my post pandemic ‘funk’. Based on Slezak own journey and her tried and tested actions it gave me simple, practical, easy to use steps to help me create the life that feels satisfying. There are worksheets and assessments to help you identify where you want to focus your energy and what’s important to you. I highly recommend this book to anyone feeling like they in a post pandemic fog and they don’t know where to start, use Slezak’s book as your personal guide. – Yasmin
A great guide to remind yourself about self love and self care… mothering yourself into the light… – Ana
