I get asked all the time why I decided to write a book - and the truth is, it wasn't part of my original plan.
In this episode, I'm sharing the real story behind The 5 Overwhelm Culprits™ - including the personal experiences that led me here, the gap I saw in the market and why this message is more important now than ever before.
This isn't just about writing a book. It's about answering a call to lead, creating solutions where none existed and helping women increase their capacity so they don't have to choose between success and their sanity.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to balance your life and your leadership goals, this episode will show you why that feeling isn't a failure - it's a signal. And more importantly, what we can do about it.
