    Stop chasing gold stars and start chasing the life you really want.  
     
     
    We’ve spent years being the good girl: saying yes when we mean no, shrinking ourselves to make others comfortable and prioritising everyone else’s needs. Our conditioning to be ‘good’ runs deep. As children, we’re praised for being polite, quiet and well-behaved. In the workplace, we’re rewarded for compliance over confidence. The result? Chronic illness, burnout, buried emotions ? and a feeling that we’re constantly performing for other people, rather than living a life that is true to us.  
     
    In Good Girl, Goodbye, Caitlin Judd ? founder of the award-winning lady-brains podcast ? offers a bold roadmap to break the patterns keeping us small. Drawing from her work coaching thousands of women, interviewing Australia’s best female founders, and her background in business and positive psychology, Judd shows women how to set fierce boundaries and build a life they love.  
     
    You’ll learn how to:  
     
     
    Identify the 12 Good Girl archetypes stealing your peace, energy and confidence  
     
    Say no without guilt and set healthy boundaries  
     
    Stop sacrificing your truth to keep others comfortable  
     
    Discover your strengths and reclaim your personal power  
     
    Use practical tools and a change framework to define what true success means to you  
     
     
    Good Girl, Goodbye is for the women who are tired of chasing gold stars in systems and institutions that don’t value who they really are. Whether you’re a perfectionist, a people-pleaser or a shapeshifter, this book hands you the permission slip you’ve been waiting for to choose yourself ? without apology.

    Should Alberta Leave Canada? 
    For more than a century, the Prairie West has powered Canada's economy while wrestling with a persistent question: who truly governs the federation? 
    In this deeply researched and analytically rigorous work, Elias Trent examines the structural foundations of Canada's political architecture - from the absorption of Rupert's Land and the Red River Resistance to modern equalization formulas, Senate imbalance, carbon pricing battles, and demographic divergence. 
    This is not a book of slogans. 
    It is a structural audit. 
    Drawing on constitutional law, fiscal data, demographic trends, and comparative federal systems in the United States, Germany, and Australia, Power, Sovereignty, and the Future of Confederation asks difficult questions: 
    - Were Alberta and Saskatchewan integrated as equal partners - or incorporated on unequal terms? 
    - Does the current structure of federal taxation and representation adequately reflect Prairie contribution and growth? 
    - Can meaningful decentralization occur within Confederation? 
    - What would independence actually cost - in debt, trade, currency, and geopolitical risk? 
    - Could U.S. statehood ever be viable? 
    - And how do treaty rights and Indigenous sovereignty reshape every version of this debate?

    The Saga of Erik the Red is one of the two important thirteenth-century accounts of the Norse explorations of Greenland and North America, along with The Saga of the Greenlanders. Containing fantastic anecdotes about ghostly visitations, wise women-seers, and one-legged native Unipeds, the saga is just as fascinating for what is clearly authentic history. It vividly relates the conflict between Christianity and the old Norse religion; the significant place of extraordinary women in Icelandic and Greenland culture; the frequent incursions of the Norsemen into Ireland and Scotland, lands really not at all far from the centers of Norse activity; and first contact with the native inhabitants of the Dawnlands of northeastern North America. Most absorbing are the clear embodiments of real human personalities in this historical saga: Leif Erikson and his lover, the renownedly intelligent Thorgunna who boldly renounced social convention; Gudrid the daughter of Thorbiorn, beautiful and of strong and influential character; Thioldhild, the wife of Erik the Red, who refused to have sex with him so long as he resisted Christianity; Thorbiorg, the eldritch “Little Sibyl,” who dispensed prophecies to the settlers of Greenland; and Thorhall, the fey, untameable hunter, who held fast to his god Thor the Red-Bearded even when it meant being severed from human society.This translation by Arthur Middleton Reeves is taken from a weighty compilation of texts related to the Norse explorations entitled The Norse Discoveries of America and including the translations and editing of fellow Norse scholars North Ludlow Beamish and Rasmus Björn Anderson.
