Book Review
Let’s be honest: how many books for women over fifty truly feel like they were
written for us? Not just about us — but for us, with full awareness of the
invisible burdens we’ve carried for decades? The Art of Being a Badass
Woman: Breaking the Hold on Good Girl Conditioning is one of those rare,
electrifying exceptions. It doesn’t just empower — it awakens you.
The book begins with a spark that will make every woman over fifty nod in
recognition: a dismissive comment referring to the author as “an old white
woman.” Instead of accepting the insult, she ignites it and hands you the
match — written by a woman who has undergone the transformation she’s
encouraging you to pursue. As a certified transformation coach and
international motorcycle adventurer (yes, really), she provides a voice that is
equally wise and fearless.
What sets this book apart from the crowded shelf of self-help titles is its
refusal to be abstract. The tools here are real and immediately usable. The
Wheel of Misfortune reframes setbacks as comebacks —a powerful fuel for growth—anyone who has watched a disappointment quietly become a turning point. Three Power Phrases give you actual language to use when someone dismisses you,
talks over you, or treats your age as a flaw. And the exploration of Thought Field Therapy®
As an approach to emotional healing adds a dimension rarely seen in this genre — honoring
and reclaiming yourself is both a mental and a physical journey.
The stories of women who choose rebellion throughout the book are where
the true magic lies. Women share their moment of awakening — the
conversation she finally refused to remain silent in, the boundary she finally
upheld, the life she finally decided was worth fighting for. You will see yourself
on nearly every page.
"One of those rare, electrifying exceptions. It doesn't just empower, it awakens you."
