The movement, Shedding the Bitch®, was established in 2010, by it’s leader, Bernadette Boas, as a result of her own experience in discovering, confronting and shedding fears, insecurities, doubts, negativity and ugly belief systems, what she now calls bitches, to finally find the real RICHes in life.
Now, women around the globe engage, collaborate, and learn how to discover, confront and shed their own bitches, so they too can create and accelerate their dreams and goals; within our Niche Forums, Bitch Party Events and Workshops, and as part of our RICHie Community.
About Bernadette,

I am a sister, a daughter, an aunt and a friend.
I am an entrepreneur and a professional shifter.
I am an author, a speaker and a radio show host.
I am a people connector.
I am a ball of fire.
And I am an ex-corporate executive—where my bitch was born AND where she died!
I am Bernadette Boas, founder of Ball of Fire, Inc. and creator of the mega-movement Shedding the Bitch™, born from my acclaimed book Shedding the Corporate Bitch. I grew up in corporate America. In 2007 I found myself in a parking lot, pink slip in hand—and it was then that I began to see clearly for the first time ever.
It was then that I began to shed my angst, anxiety, negative energy and self-doubt. It was then that I began to shed my bitches.
“I cannot say enough about Bernadette! This is an extraordinary and passionate woman and advocate, with a driven attitude and exceptional business acumen. She is truly one of the brightest minds in her industry. There has been so much buzz around her book, Shedding the Corporate Bitch! I have watched Bernadette work through building her business with fierce resolve only to come out on top! She is a mover and a shaker, and one of a kind! I recommend everyone work with Bernadette.”

Interview – Bernadette Boas; Where did Shedding the Corporate Bitch Come From?
I wrote Shedding the Bitch as an apology to the road kill I left behind in my corporate life, and to accept responsibility for the years of chaos I created for those around me—including myself. Since then, millions have related to and been inspired by the message: you don’t have to be a bitch or be consumed by life’s bitches to be successful. In fact, it’s those bitches that are holding you back!
The Shedding the Bitch™ movement provides its members—AKA “Richies”—the tools, resources and support to shift from bitch to rich, no matter the challenge. Whether it’s a tough climb up the corporate ladder, marriage and divorce, parenting, weight loss, dealing with illness, menopause, bullying or even your golf swing, I’m here to help you shed your personal challenges and reap the riches you deserve.
Shedding the Bitch™ offers a variety of books, training programs, events, seminars, retreats and more. Additionally, the brand licenses it coaching methodology, branded products and “Bitch Party™ Kits” for companies and individuals looking to leverage this powerful message.
