“It’s a defibrillator for the spirit..” – Verified Goodreads Reviewer
“This isn’t chicken-soup-for-the-soul. It’s scotch on the rocks for the scorched soul of the woman who’s done playing nice.” – The Chrysallis Brew Project Reviewer
This isn’t just a book—it’s a wake-up call wrapped in raw truth, fierce resilience, and inspiring triumph.” – Amazon review
Far from your typical self-help guide, the book blends memoir, philosophy, and no-BS inspiration to confront the one thing most of us try to avoid: the fact that we’re all going to die. But instead of despair, it offers liberation. The message is clear: stop playing small. Stop waiting. Leave the relationship, book the flight, have the fling. Do the thing. Because you’re not a carton of milk, you don’t have an expiry date.
Mum of six, Amanda Moss, 53, who wrote the book, says
“If you’re easily offended, morally outraged by a few swear words, or the kind of judgemental asshole who polices how women should behave after a certain age then kindly shut this book and carry on living your safe, beige little life. This isn’t for you.
If you’re sticking around, good. That tells me you’re one of the few with guts. A spark. A flicker of rebellion under the surface. Maybe you’re quietly fed up. Or maybe, like me, you’ve hit a point in your life where you’ve thought: “Is this it?” You’ve ticked all the boxes, played by the rules, been the good girl, the wife, the mother, the employee and now you’re looking in the mirror wondering what happened to the woman you were before you made yourself smaller to fit in.
This book is my middle finger to mediocrity. It’s about tearing up the script after 50, starting again, and doing life on your terms no matter what anyone thinks. I left a 25 year marriage, moved abroad, rebuilt my body, regained my confidence, and discovered that the second act can be even more thrilling than the first if you’ve got the balls (or in my case, the boobs) to go for it.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur on the edge, an artist in hiding, or simply someone who knows deep down they’re meant for more, this is your rallying cry.”
