Running and Tripping in High Heels

As CEOs, CFOs, entrepreneurs, educators, and best-selling authors, we all trip and fall. Sometimes we stumble on our own; other times, someone else sticks out a leg. But its how we get back up that defines who we become.

Running and Tripping in High Heels is a powerful collection of real stories from women who have faced professional roadblocks and personal heartbreaks-and kept going. From the boardrooms of finance and healthcare to the welding floor and startup world, these women have been told to sit down, stay quiet, and blend in. Instead, they chose to stand tall.

You will meet women who were discouraged from playing basketball because they "might get hurt," passed over for promotions, fired for being transgender, and stared down during presentations. You will hear from those who battled divorce, the death of a spouse, or a child's cancer diagnosis. Their stories will prepare you to face your own workplace discrimination, gender bias, and unexpected life challenges-and give you the tools to rise.

Packed with career advice, personal finance strategies, mentorship insights, and confidence-boosting guidance, this book is a mentorship-in-a-book for early to mid-career professional women. Topics include personal boundaries, choosing the right partner, learning from failure, and thriving in male-dominated industries.

If you are looking for truth, strength, and connection, you will find it here. Let these women walk with you on your journey.
