Keep Calm and Bollocks On

Keep Calm and Bollocks On is not a self-help manual. It will not optimise you, biohack you, or turn you into a serene woman in linen trousers who whispers affirmations at sunrise. Instead, it is a sharp, funny, deeply honest exploration of modern womanhood, motherhood, burnout, rage, gut health, capitalism, intimacy, and the quiet rebellion of rest. Through stories of glitter explosions, postpartum fury, meditation retreats, WhatsApp confessions, and the occasional existential spiral, Liezl Stylo dismantles the myth that calm equals silence and that resilience means enduring everything politely. Blending science, spirituality, and dry humour, this book is for women who feel intensely, think deeply, and are tired of pretending they're fine. It won't fix you. It will sit next to you on the kitchen floor and tell the truth.
