Want to feel more powerful in your world? Well, Shelly Davies has a message for you: you f--king can.

Become powerful. Reclaim your voice. Give fewer f--ks. Have it all.

Scratch that. Have what you want—why waste time trying to be everyone’s cup of tea when you can be your own two shots of vodka?

When Shelly walked away from her family’s conservative religion in her 40s, she embarked on a journey of discovery and growth. There was therapy and boundary-setting. There were tears. Learning vulnerability is stronger than titanium, and faults are actually superpowers, Shelly transformed her life and leaned into her truth. So much so that she etched it into her skin in the form of a traditional Māori chin tattoo.

For almost a decade, Shelly has been teaching people how to break the rules and give themselves the permission to stop just wishing for what they want and actually f--king get it!

A hilarious, irreverent guide to becoming a person who takes no shit and trusts your instincts, Lessons in Badassery will give you the courage to stand in your power.
