THE BOOK
The 8-Minute Method
A book by Kate Drummond · Out 24 October 2026
Three years in the making. The fuller form of the work I have been doing privately with women for nearly a decade. It is about returning to yourself, eight minutes at a time. No formulas. No urgency.
A way home.
Join the launch list to be among the first to read it.
THE METHOD
What is The 8-Minute Method?
It is the Goldilocks zone of real change. Not too much.
Not too little. Just right.
The 8-Minute Method is the practice of returning to yourself in the smallest, most repeatable windows of time you already have.
Not through overhaul. Not through hustle. Through eight intentional minutes a day — of breath, of walking, of writing, of stillness — done quietly, done consistently.
WORK WITH ME
Two doorways into the deeper work
When you are ready to walk this path with someone alongside you, there are two
ways in — one private, one in a small group of women.
ABOUT
Meet Kate
I'm Kate Drummond — 51, based in Kent, founder of The Purposeful Life, and the woman behind The 8-Minute Method.
I spent over twenty years in banking and consultancy before this work found me, through my own quiet undoing in early perimenopause.
What began on a bathroom floor at thirty-eight has become the work of my life — walking with midlife women as they return to themselves, gently and on purpose.
Plant-based. Alcohol-free. Mother to four. Living with ME/CFS since my twenties.
Mostly listening.
