Be In the Room: How to Stop Shrinking and Start Leading with Purpose

You've got the seat at the table-but you're still holding your breath.

You've worked hard, played by the rules, and pushed past every obstacle they said would stop you. You've earned the role, led the team, maybe even built your own business. But despite the accolades, something's missing.

You constantly second-guess yourself. You shrink your voice to keep the peace. You leave meetings haunted by the things you didn't say. And deep down, you wonder:

Is this what success is supposed to feel like?

Be in the Room is for the high-achieving woman who's tired of performing and ready to lead like herself. It's for the ones who've been told they're "too much," who've been passed over, overlooked, or praised for how well they stay quiet. Through raw storytelling, coaching insights, and sticky-note wisdom, this book will help you:

• Stop outsourcing your worth to other people's approval
• Set boundaries that protect your energy, not just your calendar
• Say the thing-before resentment builds
• Lead with your full voice, not just the polished one

This isn't about being louder. It's about being truer-to your vision, your values, your voice.

Because when you show up fully-messy, powerful, human-you don't just change the room.

You leave the door open for others to walk through.
