The Goddess Guides to Being a Woman Books in Order

The Goddess Guides to Being a Woman is Ava Miles’s most overtly self-help-oriented series, written in the same plainspoken, sometimes salty voice that shows up in her fiction. Instead of small towns and meet-cutes, these books tackle food, body image, money, pleasure, relationships, and everyday choices head-on.

Each volume zooms in on a specific area of life. Goddesses Eat reimagines women’s relationship with food and dieting. Goddesses Are Sexy talks frankly about self-image and sensuality. Other titles look at expressing emotion, making decisions, dropping toxic drama, inviting abundance, and claiming a joyful sex life. The language is deliberately bold, including the occasional four-letter word, to shake loose shame and perfectionism.

Behind the cheeky titles is a deep well of experience. Before writing full time, Ava worked for years in war zones and conflict settings, supporting people who had lost almost everything. She later trained as a coach and healer, and those perspectives inform the stories, questions, and tools she offers here.

Rather than prescribing a single "right" way to live, the guides invite readers to listen to their own desires and define what a "goddess life" means for them.

The tone is conversational, like a long talk with a wise friend who refuses to let you hide from yourself. Exercises and reflections are woven in with anecdotes from Ava’s travels and her own trial-and-error. Women are encouraged to drop old cultural scripts about sacrifice and martyrdom and to build gentler, more aligned habits around eating, love, work, and money.

Readers can dip into whichever topic feels most urgent or move through the series in order as a kind of personal-growth curriculum. However you approach them, the Goddess Guides are designed to sit alongside Ava Miles’s fiction as another way of exploring healing, happiness, and the quiet power of claiming your own story.
