NEW BOOK RELEASE

Sad as Shit, is a tiny collection of brutally honest, darkly funny reminders for anyone navigating grief, heartbreak, loss, or life falling gloriously apart.

No toxic positivity.
No “everything happens for a reason.”
No pressure to be inspiring.

Instead, Sad as Shit offers honest, funny, foul-mouthed little reminders that grief is messy, loss is weird, and sometimes the holiest thing you can say is: this sucks.

For anyone grieving a person, a relationship, a future, a version of themselves, or something they don’t even have words for yet.

This tiny book just sits beside you in the mess and doesn’t ask you to clean it up.

Who Does She Think She Is?

Emily Haines Lloyd believes in big dreams, small acts of bravery, and a well-placed f-bomb. She's a writer, chronic cheerleader, and unapologetic lover of all things cheesy (inspirational quotes included).

 

Part rallying cry, part hug, part Judd Nelson throwing his arm in the air as the credits roll on The Breakfast Club - Pep Talk Poetry is her love letter to anyone who needs a reminder that they’re already a badass — no permission slip required.

"The world is in need of a pep talk and Emily Haines Lloyd is just the person to deliver the good news. Two years into carrying her wonderful book of peppily fierce poems and truth bombs, we still have trouble keeping it in stock. "
