A guide for women of all shapes and sizes who are in the bold process of going beyond stereotypes to find the truth of who they are

There's a new generation of multicultural women who refuse to conform to the "serene and calm" model of spirituality. "We're Black and white. We're feminists who twerk. We're spiritual and take tequila shots. We're unruly... and our tribe is growing strong," says women's wellness influencer Shelah Marie. Yet breaking the mold only gets us so far-what's needed is a road map for creating a life that embraces our contradictions and lets us shine in our unique glory. In Unruly, Shelah shares a guide "for that little girl who never quite fit in, and all my other naturally unruly ladies."

With respect and relatability-no gurus here, sisters-Shelah shares how to become the architect of your life, using a culmination of her best tried-and-true teachings from her retreats, courses, and online programs. The 10-step guided journey mixes story, prescriptive content, and structured practices, opening you up to a new level of agency, self-acceptance, and confidence. "I want you to see the best and highest parts of yourself reflected on each page," she says. "I want you to say YES to your life and your dreams."

Finding your true self is an act of love, and expressing it is an act of liberation. "If you join me on this journey," Shelah promises, "you'll grow past feeling guilt, shame, or a need to fit in-and you'll move through life with grace, strength, and unshakable authenticity."
