We are delighted to be hosting an event with Cally Beaton to celebrate the release of her book…

Namaste Motherf*ckers : A modern manifesto for keeping cool when you’re a hot mess

Part memoir, part stereotype-defying manifesto, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a funny, empowering, practical book that will take an irreverent, but never smug or earnest, look at the author’s own story of radical midlife reinvention – from meetings in the boardroom to becoming a stand-up comedian – thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers…

Sharing stories and experiences from her own career, alongside lessons learned from the many celebrity guests and experts that have guested on her hit podcast of the same name, Cally challenges at every turn the age-old narrative that women become invisible when they cease to be fertile.

It’s also a book about defying the bullshit expectation that midlife women at best maintain (looks, career, relationships), at worst decline. With ambitious thinking and personal development takeouts from her time as a coach, Cally debunks many of the myths surrounding the female of the species and gives a fresh, funny and life affirming look at what it means to be a middle-aged woman who is willing to take a chance, put herself out there and who is also willing to fail.
