A Fierce, Joyful Rebellion for Women Who Are Done Playing Small

Are you exhausted from people-pleasing, being too polite, and always coming second?
This book is your permission slip to stop. Right now.

From bestselling author, intuitive healer, and creative rebel Cassandra Gaisford (BCA, Dip Psych) comes a bold, uncensored manifesto for empaths, over-givers, dreamers, artists, and women who’ve been trodden on for far too long.

This is for you if you’ve ever been told:

• “Don’t be so emotional.”

• “Tone it down.”

• “You’re too much.”

• “Be a good girl.”

• “Stay quiet.”

Screw that. F*ck them.

With fierce elegance and unapologetic joy, Cassandra invites you to break free. To paint on the walls, laugh in the face of authority, reclaim your voice, and live with wild-hearted purpose. Like Helen Mirren, who once said, “I don’t give a flying f*ck,”* and like Joan Mitchell, the rageful and revolutionary painter who defied the boys’ club of abstract expressionism—this book is a love letter to the women who refuse to be silenced.

Inside you'll discover:
🔥 How play is protest and joy is power
🧨 Why laughter is the ultimate act of resistance
🎤 How to stop performing and start living for yourself
💃 Lessons from fierce women who turned pain into creative fire
💥 Truth bombs, soul stories, and swear-worthy liberation

This book is your rallying cry.
It’s time to stop apologizing. Time to stop shrinking. Time to say f*ck them—and finally live.

For fans of Untamed by Glennon Doyle, The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Maté, and Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.

Book Two: The Love Them Philosophy is coming soon
