I read this during a stretch where I was successful on paper and miserable in practice. Diane doesn't lecture — she shares her own story first, which made it easier to look at mine. The exercises at the end of each chapter are short but they actually made me stop and write something down, not just nod along.

As someone in a leadership role, a lot of this hit close to home, especially the chapter on giving to others before yourself. Even the concepts that get revisited across chapters landed differently each time. I recommend it to any woman climbing the ladder while quietly burning out.

You can tell this was written by someone with 30 years of real HR and leadership experience, not just a life coach with a nice Instagram. The frameworks feel field-tested. I've already started using her language in my own 1:1s with my team.

Good stories, honest tone, and just enough structure to keep you moving without feeling like a rigid checklist. The prompts gave me room to actually think instead of just following steps blindly — worked better for me than the more rigid frameworks I've tried before.

Short, punchy chapters that don't overstay their welcome. I appreciated that she uses her own failures as examples instead of just success stories. Simple enough to read fast, meaty enough to sit with long after.

My therapist suggested this after I kept talking about feeling stuck despite "having it all." It bridges self-help and something closer to real inner-work, the exercises around identifying what's actually limiting you (versus circumstances) were eye-opening.

I picked this up mid-job-search and found the sections on redefining success genuinely useful for reframing what I wanted next, instead of chasing the same title at a new company. The personal-development angle ended up being exactly what I needed, even more than tactical job-search advice

I've read a lot in this space (Brené Brown, Glennon Doyle, etc.), and Diane still manages to bring something distinct, her leadership-specific lens on vulnerability and self-worth sets this apart from more general self-help titles. Her voice is warm without being saccharine.

[SHOPIFY SUPPORT · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a manager, I bought copies for my direct reports after reading it myself. It opened up conversations about burnout and ambition that we'd never had directly. Rare that a "success" book actually makes space for people to admit they're exhausted.
