"By the time Sarah turned fifty, she had built an entire identity on that simple equation: capability equals value, and value equals safety. It is a terrible equation and it's a falsehood. It also happens to be the operating system, the failsafe underpinning and running quietly under half the women you know, humming along in the background like a dusty computer fan nobody remembers to clean out."

"Nobody warns you that being the "good" kid is basically an apprenticeship for a lifetime career where no one was kind enough to provide the full job description. The smiles that came after all of her catches, the relief in someone's face, the gratitude in their voices, the warm hands on her shoulder, those responses became Sarah's currency. The warm hands also came with a weight all their own, though she wouldn't understand that part for another forty years. All of it became evidence.It proved something to her. If she was useful, she could be depended on. If she was dependable, she could always fix things. If she could fix things, she felt love. If she received love for the things she could do, she had value. She could always control the help she did for people. Having value to the people in her life became, in her unique arithmetic, equated to being loved. And love made her feel safe. In this way, Sarah maintained control of her own safety." Grab a copy!

“Sarah genuinely wanted to help. She loved to help people. She was just being useful. She was just being Sarah. Before Sarah was THE person everyone looked to, the wife, the mother, the companion, the friend, the dependable coworker, the responsible party, she was a sweet girl who noticed things. When her father's mood shifted to quiet meditation, or dry humor at dinner, she noticed. When her mother touched her father's hand gently or had too long of a list and too short a temper that day to manage both, she noticed. Her brother's lost baseball glove, a forgotten field trip form, a dropped phrase of concern, half swallowed at the kitchen table, she noticed that too. She had a happy childhood. She was keenly observant of her surroundings and of the emotions of those around her. When someone needed something and no one else was stepping in, she noticed, and then she did something about it. She caught things before they fell. By the time she was twelve, she was an expert at it, though nobody would have called it expertise. They would have called it being a kind hearted, generous, well-mannered, helpful child.”

If you are the woman who carries the "invisible backpack" of responsibilities for everyone else while slowly disappearing under the weight, this is for you.

My new book, Finding Sarah, is officially LIVE on Amazon!
This isn't just another dry self-help book. It’s a modern fable about a real woman who has to stop, breathe, and figure out who she is when she stops over-functioning. Follow Sarah's journey as she walks through the STONES Framework (See Clearly, Take Time to Tell the Truth, Own your Power, Negotiate Differently, Execute Effectively, Sustain the Shift) to reclaim her life.
Because you can't read the label from inside the jar. It's time to step outside.

From Becoming Sarah: You Can't See the Label from Inside the Jar. A Modern Fable for Real Women.

"Sarah was likely the most capable person you have ever met. This was the first clue. Not a mistake, exactly, and certainly not hers; it was a truly catastrophic administrative error, if I am going to be honest, and I am ALWAYS honest. It wasn't a lack of oversight, and it wasn't a personal failure. It was a systems failure, the kind nobody catches, like the meme of a cartoon dog sipping coffee in a burning room and saying, "It's fine. Everything is fine!" until the whole damn thing is already burning."

Available soon on Amazon.
