Synopsis

At an age when many women start to feel invisible, performance coach and hypnotherapist Holly Shaw did the opposite—she stepped into the spotlight as a stand-up comedian. Part memoir, part self-help, Queen Lessons invites readers into the chaotic, hilarious, and deeply revealing world of comedy as Shaw transforms her personal stories—of triumph, trauma, and transformation—into a roadmap for women entering their “queen years.”

Are you done being the “nice girl”? Do you feel the simmering rage of midlife ready to burst? Shaw hands you the mic and dares you to rewrite the script.

Praise for Queen Lessons

“Shaw’s voice is candid and engaging, making her stories feel like a conversation with a close friend who isn’t afraid to share the messy, awkward, and hilarious moments of her life.” — Reader's Favorite

Queen Lessons hands you the mic. Read it and you will:

  • Learn practical ways to cope and grow as your body changes and the world begins to treat you differently.

  • Pick up simple strategies for dealing with everyday hecklers.

  • Strengthen the Five Muscles of Stand Up Comedy Courage. Caution! These may make other people not like you as much, but you will like yourself more!

  • Explore your relationship with attention and how you can change it for the better.

  • Meet Holly’s inner Earthquake Woman, Wise Woman, and Comedian (who might just be inside you, too.)

  • Say goodbye to “Nice Girl.”

  • Change the temperature of a room and shamelessly ask for what you want.

There are thousands of books on courage and self-confidence, but how many of those were written by someone trying to make it through mid-life while bombing in front of an audience? No one is more suited to tell you how to take it on the chin and keep going than a stand-up comedian experiencing hot flashes.

Before you make one more vision board, read this book!
