Winner of the 2025 Kirkus Star, and a 2025 Kirkus Indie Book of the Month Selection.

What if every stage of a woman’s life—from early girlhood all the way to elderhood—was met with celebration, clarity, and empowerment? The Nine Lives of Woman reimagines the traditional three-stage archetype by mapping out nine distinct phases of the female experience, from the foundations laid in childhood and adolescence to the vibrant potential of post-menopausal years and beyond.

Blending cutting-edge science, practical tools, ancient wisdom, and deeply personal stories, this book serves as a holistic guide to womanhood’s complexities. Discover insights on the “snippa” (normalizing vulva terminology), the role of hormonal intelligence, the possibilities of orgasmic birth, the power of matrescence, and the deeper joys of a body that never stops evolving. Whether you’re in your twenties or your eighties, The Nine Lives of Woman offers a roadmap for finding beauty, meaning, and power in every stage.
