SHINE BRIGHTER

LISTEN TO AN EXCERPT

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here

I wrote Shine Brighter because I've been exactly where you are. After 20 years in executive recruiting and over 30,000 interviews with high-achieving professionals, I kept seeing the same pattern: incredibly successful people who felt secretly disconnected, constantly drained, and quietly questioning if this was really "it."

The breaking point came during my own season of burnout when I realized I had built an impressive life that didn't actually feel like mine. This book is my roadmap back—not just to success, but to the kind of success that energizes rather than exhausts you.

Because you weren't meant to choose between achievement and aliveness. You can absolutely have both.

This book is for you if….

You’re successful but constantly drained // Achieving your goals but wondering why it’s so hard

You're going through the motions at work and home—productive but not particularly present or engaged

  • You're a high-performer who's quietly burning out—still hitting targets but questioning how long you can keep this pace

  • You're rethinking what success looks like—wondering if there's a more sustainable way to build your career

  • You're tired of choosing between career growth and personal well-being—ready for an approach that honors both

  • You want actionable strategies, not motivational fluff—practical frameworks you can implement immediately

It’s time to listen to that voice inside that’s been whispering the truth you’ve been too busy to hear.
