‘Spins tales like Aisling Bea, has the hair and strength of Pippi Longstocking, and the punk edge of Debbie Harry. Do I want a Cally Beaton rebrand? Hell yeah.’ – Sally Phillips
‘This is the best writing by Mrs Beaton since that cookbook’ – Sandi Toksvig
‘A charming, witty guidebook for anyone who’s ever felt like an invisible imposter’ – Deborah Frances-White
Part memoir, part stereotype-defying manifesto, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a funny, empowering, practical book that takes an irreverent look at the author’s own story of radical midlife reinvention – taking her from meetings in the boardroom to becoming a stand-up comedian – thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers encouraging her to make change happen.
Sharing stories and experiences from her career, alongside lessons learned from the many celebrities 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 bullsh*t 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.
