How Is That Working for You: Overcoming Challenges When You Are Your Own Obstacle

Throughout life, we are presented with personal and professional opportunities, such as building relationships with others, pursuing a fulfilling career, and seeking financial freedom. These amazing open doors may also include trials and tribulations that come in the form of circumstances and individuals. Naysayers might deter you from chasing after a goal, or a truly amazing position might appear to be far off due to responses such as, "Thank you, but we went with another candidate." People might convince you not to pursue a relationship or go after an educational, health, or financial target. These experiences and external obstacles are par for the course when living a life with an abundance of opportunities.

If--or rather when--you get knocked down while pursuing these opportunities, most times you can get back up and continue to move. But is that so easy when the individual or thing that knocked you down is internal? What happens when the obstruction is the individual gazing back in the mirror? Is it as simple as continuing to move toward the end state?

In How Is That Working for You: Overcoming Challenges When You Are Your Own Obstacle, Deidre "DeDe" Sanderson and Louisa Mae "Blu" Angel are two accomplished female military veterans who have had fruitful professions serving and empowering others. This book uncovers how both women came to realize that anxiety, fear of failure, self-doubt, and workaholism have brought them to be impediments in their personal lives.
