Shannon's Impact
“This book is a gift for any woman whose life has come to feel like a checklist of tedious responsibilities, rather than a bright, flaming torch of divine power. Shannon Watts uses her experience, wisdom, and fierce intuition to model a new way of living for women — one that is rich with meaning, deep with empathy, and, yes, full of transformative fire.”

“Fired Up is full of inspiring, relatable stories from women Watts calls “firestarters”—women who have dared to create a more authentic, meaningful life for themselves; a chosen life, not an inherited one. Best of all, Watts gives us the tools, outlining practical, manageable steps to ‘light the match’ or ‘fan the flames’ in our own lives. I want my sisters to read this book. I want my mother and her friends to read it. I want my daughter to have a copy waiting for her, too, so that she knows what’s possible for her and how to make it happen. Time to start some fires.”
MAGGIE SMITH, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Fired Up is an essential read.”
