I Tried Not To Vomit In The Pyramid

What happens when an executive who trusts data more than feelings goes looking for the sacred anyway?

In her wry, unflinching memoir, I Tried Not to Vomit in the Pyramid, Celeste takes you through thirteen days of an ancient Egypt pilgrimage she was nowhere near ready for, and every fear she'd spent twenty years armouring against.

This book isn't just about ancient Egypt. It's about the moment you feel something you can't explain and instantly decide you must be imagining it, or get terrified by it. It's about learning to trust a sense the world taught you to shut down, letting people help you when your instinct is to do it all alone, and discovering that every fear you've ever carried, at work, at home, in your own body, is really the same question: am I acceptable, just as I am?

Celeste doesn't just tell you what she learned. She shows you exactly where it came from, no theory, just what actually happened when she tried it herself, written with real reverence for the temples and stories of ancient Egypt that shaped her journey. Whether you're rebuilding self-trust, leading a team that's technically aligned but quietly working against itself, healing an old family wound, or simply craving your next pilgrimage, chances are, you'll find a chapter that meets you there.
