"Live Courageously” is a quiet companion for women navigating change.

Written during my own professional and personal divorce transition, it offers gentle stories and reflections for anyone trying to find their way back to themselves.

This book addresses the common challenges that women face, such as self-doubt, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, procrastination, emotional overwhelm and burnout, and offers insights and practical guidance using the Live Courageously Framework.

“Live Courageously” serves as a guiding light, empowering women to reconnect to your self, discover your authentic truths and consciously live and lead.
