Featured Reviews

Full of great career advice for woman. Perfect for me starting my own woman owned business. Highly recommend this title.

Was this review helpful?

Actionable, thoughtful, and empathetic advice without the forced "you an absolutely do it all" narrative that I think we were all fed over the last two decades.

A couple things that take away from the rating:
- The opening with biographies was jarring and I would have preferred them be included at the end, with page references noted within the anecdotes as they appear.
- It ends at an odd place. There isn't really a conclusion - it just... ends.

Otherwise, for a woman in her early 30s, with a toddler and a demanding professional career, this was a refreshing take on how to navigate all the areas of life.
