About this listen
At thirteen, Kate Reid already knew exactly where she was headed: a career in Formula 1, a life lived at full throttle. Like a master cartographer she had drawn the map of her future – all she had to do was follow the course she’d charted.
But after earning a degree in aerospace engineering and taking up a coveted position at one of the top F1 teams in the UK, Kate discovered that the reality didn’t exactly live up to the dream. The pursuit of perfection that had once made her reach for the moon now sent her spiralling into a life-threatening battle against depression and anorexia.
From the grey skies of England and Monaco’s glittering, million-dollar harbour, to Melbourne’s trendy café scene and the spellbinding counters of Parisian patisseries, Kate searched for something that would bring meaning and passion back into her life: a destination worth driving towards at full speed.
Critic Reviews
‘A truly inspiring story of tenacity and humility, of strength and vulnerability, of dreams shattered and achieved – told so eloquently, honestly and bravely (and with Kate’s wicked sense of humour). It is also a story of love – for her family, for her passions, and in the end for herself.’ (Nicole Piastri)
‘Look up “tenacity” in the dictionary and you’ll find a picture of Kate. Her story has more turns and tight corners than an F1 track, so strap yourself in for the ride!’ (Melissa Leong, food critic and judge on MasterChef Australia and Dessert Masters)
‘Kate Reid is an inspiring warrior of resilience in a world of self-doubt. This is her journey to the croissant moon through stratospheres of butter, turbulence and engine failure – undoubtedly, the most meaningful path to true excellence!’ (Nadine Ingram, Founder of Flour and Stone bakery and author of Love Crumbs)
‘An astounding life story littered with incredible characters and moments, Kate the undeniable star at the centre. Perhaps the only thing better than Kate’s incomparable pastries is the story of how she came to be making them.’ (Zoë Foster Blake, author of Things Will Calm Down Soon)
