Nicole only knows how to do one thing--be fucking nice. Living in a sci-fi world where the government regulates politeness, Nicole performs personality reviews of the citizens by day and, by night, yearns to be her truest self. When Nicole musters up the confidence to call her date an asshole after being stood up, the polite government exiles Nicole to the cruel land known as New York City. Foreign to this urban hellhole, Nicole hides in a run-down arcade where she meets badass Lanie. Lanie is another exiled citizen who has acclimated to the grit of New York. Lanie takes Nicole under her wing and teaches Nicole proper bad bitch behavior. Nicole learns how to swear without sneezing, stand up for herself without hesitation, and to not get thrown up on like that bitch over there. The two best friends are determined to utilize their collective power to dismantle their insidious and oppressive home planet. United in friendship, they plot to overthrow the shackles of their old world.
Nicole- 24. A bright and bubbly overachiever. The nicest person in existence. Her bravery is stunted by her necessity to be kind.
Lanie- 27. A bold, fiery, revengeful lioness. Lanie befriends Nicole who brings out the softer, more vulnerable side of Lanie.
Brandon- 21. Works at the same arcade as Lanie. An awkward, self-conscious virgin who is hopelessly in love with Lanie.
Derek- 36. The Executioner, aka the head of the polite government. Nicole’s old boss and Lanie’s nemesis. Demeaningly nice, pompous, and will enforce the rules by any means necessary.
Bitch Training is a loose sci-fi comedy memoir of my journey towards radical self-kindness. Only through the strong female friendships and challenging self-discovery have I grown into the woman I am today. On one very terrible day living in Los Angeles, I shouted up into the sky, “I wish people had to be nice!” I then walked several miles home and ruminated upon this utopia of polite people. I soon discovered the suffocating nature of this imagined place: to never be able to say no; to always have to break your back for people. Growing up in the Midwest, I was expected to be polite all the time. In doing so, I unknowingly held myself back from my own power. Not so surprisingly, many of my female/non-binary friends and colleagues have expressed that they have felt the same way. Femmes have long been told to be alluring but not slutty, kind but not matronly, quiet but not shy, etc. I am choosing, just like Lanie teaches Nicole to choose, to no longer bend my back to make my existence more palatable for others. I want to inspire women and femmes to stick up for themselves, create healthy boundaries, and take hold of their power.
What if we discovered our power through self-discovery rather than a romantic relationship?
What if we didn’t have to apologize for our existence?
What if we let the bad bitch inside of us LOOSE?
