Rebekah Wallace-Brown returns with I’ll Share the Fire But Not the Ashes—a deeper, brasher exploration of Boudica’s history and the raw reality of modern womanhood.

She unpacks who Boudica really was: the flogging, the rebellion, the survival. Then she brings it home—to menopause as a sacred forge, to claiming boundaries, and to the stubborn act of getting back up.

The ashes are not trauma. They are what she earned by walking through her own fires. She shares the flame of resilience freely—but the wisdom of what she’s survived is hers.

Expect history, humour, and unflinching honesty. You’ll leave feeling seen, challenged, and maybe a little bit on fire.
