Own Your BS

Why is it that, even though there are thousands of Self-Help books available to help women develop confidence in themselves and their dreams, women are more stuck in Negative Head Talk than ever before?

Because most Self-Help books are written with a logical, male point of view in mind. Own Your BS: The No-Nonsense guide to addressing your Female Head Talk explores the differences between men and women and, without the fluff and rah-rah of ‘just visualise’ and ‘think positive’, provides readers with practical and powerful strategies and tools to get a grip on stories
like “I’m not good enough”, “I’ll fail”, “she is better than me” and “I should….” by understanding what drives these stories in the first place.

Complete with downloadable templates, Own Your BS will give you not just the insight, but the strategies to take back your Personal Power and rephrase the Head Talk to serve you and influence your success.

“Bree dives in where many good women fear to tred … the fact that men and women are wired differently in their brains, which produces different thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. And most, not ALL, of the me, women try to fit themselves into the generic human mould, which, is the default masculine mode. I found this book to be an excellent HANDS-ON approach for women, rather than just background theory.
And gotta love the title! Such quintessennal Aussie terminology!”

– Marlowe Aster, PhD

“This book is extremely eye-opening into how the female brain works. I literally used Bree’s advice today during a panic attack and it helped
straight away. Highly recommend this book to any female who wants to take back their power and be the best version of themselves”

– A.C.

Occasional Verse

Many years ago I showed some of my verse to a famous professor of poetry at a well known University in Melbourne. He dismissed them as Vers d’Occasion and of minimal worth. (Scorn always sound so much better in French, don’t you think?) I read some of his work and could make nothing of it. Therefore I deduce that I am not a poet; and these verses are not poems. From that day forward I have referred to my stuff as “Occasional Verse”.

Not Named

 

Adoption. The ideal solution for unwanted babies given to new parents, without question, to ensure happy-ever-after.

This is an urban myth.

The myth persists because of the supposed success of adoptions in Tasmania since 1920. There has always been a market for babies to be given to loving white, Christian, married couples to adopt. Government legislation has always supported this practice for various reasons. So has society supported adoption in the assumption that all ‘unmarried mothers’ were not fit mothers.

This story is of one individual
who has dared to question her
own adoption.

About the Author

I was adopted in 1948. I have spent 40 adult years learning how shocking many adoption
practices were in Tasmania. My journey led me to make a very strong stand and to have my adoption dissolved – in the Children’s Court of Tasmania.

I cannot un-know what I have experienced. This book is my contribution to dispel the urban myth.

Meeting Paris: A Book of Poetry

 

Kristie hopes in this book to share with her readers the aspects of Paris that left a mark on her. 

About the Author

As an enthusiastic student and admirer of life and nature, Kristie developed an enduring love for poetry, drawn in by the boundless and unique ability to express intense observations and emotions. 

Kristie was born and raised in Newcastle, Australia, but has spent most of her adult life to date as a lawyer in Sydney. The opportunity to express words more poetic than legal came about when she was fortunate to spend a large part of a year living in Paris. Captivated by the culture of Paris with all its charm, artistry and vigour, whilst also struck by its malaise, Kristie was inspired to give voice to the people, to the inanimate and to the sensations she encountered.

Her favourite places to write were in the local bistros and by the river, cheese, baguette and wine in hand where possible.

When not writing, Kristie is a part time piano player book and science devotee, beach creature and unabashed flaneur.
