Shanii Williams writes for the women who were told to calm down, quiet down, and take up less space.

Her work lives where rage, grief, truth and midlife meet, and it began with one unfashionable idea: anger is not a character flaw. It is information. When a woman has spent years being the reasonable one, the capable one, the one who copes, the anger that eventually arrives is not a malfunction. It is a signal about a line that was crossed, a loss she was never allowed to mourn, or a version of herself she was never permitted to be.

She writes from lived experience. She knows what it is to lose years, to make choices she is not proud of, and to wonder whether she waited too long to build a life that felt like hers. There is no toxic positivity in her books, no diagnosing, and no interest whatsoever in telling women to shrink their fire.

She is the author of THE ALCHEMY OF RAGE, which teaches women to read their anger instead of apologising for it; WHO THE F*CK AM I NOW, a map back for the woman who became who everyone needed and can no longer remember what she wants; and THE ANGER TRANSLATOR WORKBOOK, a thirty seven day practice for doing that work on paper.

She also makes The Masked Pattern on YouTube, where she helps women 35 and over recognise the quiet patterns that made them disappear, and take practical steps back toward themselves.

Shanii lives in British Columbia, Canada. When she is not writing she is usually outdoors, journalling, or building something new.

Midlife is not a crisis. It is the moment the performance stops working.
