Declutter Your Life: Reclaim Your Time & Freedom

Clutter and disorganization are symptoms of a deeper issue. You can get free from your “STUFF,” and that to do so, you need to change how they think about, feel about and interact with your belongings. – Andrew Mellen

The Most Organized Man in America, Andrew Mellen releases his much anticipated Podcast Declutter Your Life; Reclaim Time and Freedom In Your Life.

The Declutter Your Life Show goes beyond closet and home organization to help listeners overcome “the stuff behind the stuff.”

St Petersburg Florida July 19th, 2021 Andrew Mellen, the Most Organized Man in America, announced today the debut of his new Declutter Your Life podcast.

In modern society, many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed and confused. They are constantly tired and frustrated, but don’t understand why.

These feelings often manifest in, and are caused by, homes, offices, and cars filled with clutter. People want to live and work in clean, organized environments. Andrew can help them get their spaces in order.

But he believes that clutter and disorganization are symptoms of a deeper issue. He says people can get free from their “STUFF,” and that to do so, they need to change how they think about, feel about and interact with their belongings.

He says they need to change where they focus their attention—from their possessions to “the stuff BEHIND the stuff.”

The Declutter Your Life Show is meant for those listeners who have “ever felt hopeless and dragged down by dead-end relationships, addiction or crushing debt or just the disappointments of everyday life,” according to Andrew.

In this podcast, he will demystify how to get started with the organization process. He helps listeners stop clutter from robbing them of their precious time, freedom, and joy in life.

The net results, says Andrew, “are more money, time, and freedom—all with less friction, worry, and stress.”

New Comedy Mental Health Show to Debut Live in Boston


Dr. Kris debuts comedy mental health show at Lyric Stage Company of Boston to raise awareness, increase access, and build community

“Now isn’t the time for hiding. We all are affected by mental health issues-whether ourselves or our loved ones. This is simple brain science, all of us responding to devastating circumstances, within broken and fraught systems…”

Mental health issues have skyrocketed in the face of the pandemic and ongoing uncertainty.

Finding a therapist, or a reason to laugh, can feel impossible.

It feels like a time to cry, not laugh.

Dr. Kristen Lee, EdD, LICSW, an internationally recognized speaker and author, says laughter is important medicine during compromising times. She has translated her years as a psychotherapist, educator, and human resilience researcher into a new performing arts experience devoted to ending stigma, raising awareness, and building community through her comedy mental health show “Crackin’ Up with Dr. Kris: Where Comedy Meets Therapy”.

“It was time to flip my model”, says Dr. Lee, who, in addition to her teaching, consults regularly with companies on building positive mental health cultures, given the rise in burnout and stress in the workplace. “I’ve always infused humor with serious topics but wanted to create something fun and heartwarming with a strong underlying message of hope, healing, and solidarity”.

Lee, who leads the Behavioral Science program at Northeastern University, uses her public platform to share her own lived experience of mental health. “I’ve always used humor as a mechanism for coping, and to connect with my students, patients, and those I serve. Humor is identified as an essential protective factor for resilience, and even though there’s much to grieve and be serious about, it can help create space for joy, healing, and recovery.”

The average time for someone with a lived experience of mental health from onset of symptoms to treatment is 8-10 years. Lee emphasizes that “given the enormity of what we are grappling with, we must engage with ourselves and each other creatively and candidly to get to a place of healing and reduced stigma.”

Lee underscores the critical nature of policy makers to devote attention to the mental health crisis at hand, particularly for underserved populations. “Access is everything. Our service delivery systems are overstretched, people are suffering. They are afraid to ask for the help they need, and the reality is, access is extremely limited; especially for those who are marginalized due to race, class, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and place of origin.”

Lee also stresses that stigma is the number one reason people do not access support. “Now isn’t the time for hiding. We all are affected by mental health issues-whether ourselves or our loved ones. This is simple brain science, all of us responding to devastating circumstances, within broken and fraught systems, grieving the losses of critical aspects of our lives that are known to be protective towards our mental health. Gone are the days when this should be seen as a weakness or moral failing; we need to move from outdated framings of mental health condition to human condition.”

Lee is devoting a portion of the proceeds to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nations’ largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness, and to AAKOMA Project, focused on supporting youth of color and their families, raising consciousness, empowering people, and changing systems.

Crackin’ Up debuts at the Lyric Stage Company of Boston on Thursday August 12th. Lee will host the show, and feature Boston Based comedians Tooky Kavanagh and Emily Ruskowski.

Kavanagh was selected to perform on the Comedy Central UP NEXT audition showcase, and to audition for the prestigious Montreal Just for Laughs festival. She was selected to be a featured comedian in the 2020 Boston Calling festival, was the December 2018 Comic-In-Residence at The Comedy Studio; The 2017 Women In Comedy Festival; Thunderfest 2017; The 2017 Boston Comedy Festival; Boston Comedy Chicks; The 2017 Boston Comedy Arts Festival; headlining Laughing Liberally Boston; headlining It Ain’t Over ‘til It’s Dover; headlining Stand-Up Thursdays at John Harvard’s; co-producing Token: Rethink What Comedy Can Be at Improv Boston; featuring at The Producer’s Club in Manhattan, NY; and Comic Sit-In at The Riot Theater.

Ruskowski is a staple on the Boston stand up scene. She has been featured in the Boston Globe and the Washington Post. She was a finalist in the 2018 Boston Comedy Festival and has been featured on Laughs TV. Ruskowski is also a clinical social worker.

Lee, known as “Dr. Kris”, is award-winning behavioral science professor, clinician, researcher, author, activist, and comedian. As the Lead Faculty for Behavioral Science and Faculty-in-Residence at Northeastern University, Dr. Kris’s research and teaching interests include individual and organizational well-being and resilience, particularly for marginalized and underserved populations. She operates a consulting practice devoted to preventing and treating burnout and is the author of RESET: Make the Most of Your Stress, Winner of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards Motivational Book of 2015, and best-selling Mentalligence: A New Psychology of Thinking: Learn What it Takes to Be More Agile, Mindful and Connected in Today’s World and the upcoming Worth the Risk: Learn How to Microdose Bravery to Grow Resilience, Connect More, and Offer Yourself to the World. She is a regular contributor for Thrive Global, and Rethink Your Way to the Good Life on Psychology Today. She is the host of Crackin’ Up: Where Therapy Meets Comedy, which began online featuring Drs. Kathleen Mackenzie and Ying Cao. Dr. Kris’s work has been featured on NPR, Ted and CBS radio. Her TedX talk, The Risk You Must Take has over 310,000 views and highlights her own battles with perfectionism, anxiety, and depression.

Doors open at 7:00 pm, the show starts at 7:30 pm. The first 150 guests will receive a free copy of Lee’s best-selling book, Mentalligence: A New Psychology of Thinking: Learn What it Takes to Be More Agile, Mindful, and Connected in Today’s World.

Current CDC guidelines will be followed. Guests will be advised to wear masks when entering and moving around the theatre and removed once seated for those who are fully vaccinated.

Lee says “If you can’t crack up, you’ll crack up. Healing takes place through solidarity, community, and using the critical thinking skills comedy offers us to look at things in a more playful, expansive and humane way…”

New Motivational Christian Book Encourages Readers to Foster Faith and Trust When Overcoming Obstacles


News Image

“I wrote this book because I was having a challenging time accepting what the Lord allowed to happen with my dad versus what I thought should have happened with my dad,” said Anderson.

Throughout life, everyone faces a variety of obstacles that they must overcome. In “Getting to Yes: A better offer!” Gaila M. Anderson shares how she helped her father build his dream home, the barriers they faced along the way and ultimately leading her to the hardest obstacle of all. In this touching book, readers will see the love between a parent and child and the strength and comfort gained from relying on God.

The book takes place is Seville, Florida where the author has taken on a task to help her loving father, hero, protector and provider get his slice of paradise. Anderson was giving her father the gift of building his dream home. Throughout the home building process, Anderson and her father dealt with many hurdles that continually delayed the development.

In this heartfelt novel, the author gives her readers a close and in-depth guideline and guidepost when dealing with hurdles, delays and distractions God’s way when they come up in life. Anderson shares that by examining faith, continuing prayer and leaning on God, they will be able to keep moving forward when facing hardships.

“I wrote this book because I was having a challenging time accepting what the Lord allowed to happen with my dad versus what I thought should have happened with my dad,” said Anderson. “The Holy Spirit advised me to write this book to show the world that there is not always a quick fix, but through processing and dedication, we can all come out strong on the other side.”

Throughout the book, the author provides a plethora of scriptures relating to overcoming obstacles, hurdles and grief that helps the reader know how to rely upon God when the going gets rough. These scriptures provide guidance on how to rely upon God when the task seems insurmountable, how to rely upon God when dealing with grief and how to rely upon God when their timing is not God’s timing or their answer is not God’s answer.

“Getting to Yes” has received praise from Kirkus Reviews.

“Anderson offers a heartfelt memoir about faith and finding beauty in even the most sorrowful circumstances. . . This is a story filled with raw emotion, and over the course of the story, readers will empathize with Anderson and her father as they navigate the complexities of the housing process, encountering spiritual tests every step of the way. . . A story about the everyday miracles in our midst that’s by turns uplifting and heart-wrenching.” —Kirkus Reviews

In the end, readers will know through God’s word, they too can survive heartbreak, loss, grief and obstacles by putting trust and faith in God and by understanding there is a process to healing.

Mother-Daughter Writing Team Helps Readers Find Healing in Times of Difficulty in Debut Spiritual Guidebook


News Image

This book has so many easy, you can do right now, powerful exercises in it. I have incorporated many of them into my everyday living. It’s engaging and easy to read. I highly recommend it!

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled society into a devastating and previously unforeseen environment of fear and isolation. It stripped away key social support structures like physical contact with family and friends and forced many to adapt to a more digital way of life. But as the pandemic begins to recede in the U.S. more than a year later, its emotional and mental toll remains.

In their debut book, “Energy Healing & Empowerment: Accessing the Power of Reiki Symbols,” mother-daughter writing team SueAnn Squire and Kiora MoonWolf provide an uplifting, much-needed resource for those who are searching for healing or who find themselves at a crossroads with their identity. SueAnn and Kiora’s book is a collaboration of ideas and methods intended as a guide for personal growth that is founded on Reiki principles, which teach honor and respect for all of creation.

Through “Energy Healing & Empowerment,” SueAnn and Kiora offer a variety of simple exercises designed to build a connection with the energy of Reiki symbols and cultivate a conscious lifestyle. The authors’ unique perspectives come together to share a powerful holistic approach to awareness and enrichment of life.

“By reading this book, I want people to know how truly magnificent they are,” SueAnn said. “Most of us get so down on ourselves so often that we don’t think of ourselves as being good or awesome. I want this to be a resource that, after such a difficult year, can help people to look inside to find that.”

Ultimately, “Energy Healing & Empowerment” reminds readers that there are many roads to enlightenment and offers an inspirational guide to living authentically and building a joyful, fulling life.

“I honestly got a lot out of this book, I was able to heal some of my past beliefs using what I learned,” a reader wrote in a five-star review of the book on Amazon. “I enjoyed the way this book has multiple points of view. This book has so many easy, you can do right now, powerful exercises in it. I have incorporated many of them into my everyday living. It’s engaging and easy to read. I highly recommend it!”

Dr. Kim’s Seventh Book, Cosigning Bad Behavior By Commission or Omission, is a Wake Up Call for 2021


Dr. Kim’s Seventh Book, Cosigning Bad Behavior By Commission or Omission, is a Wake Up Call for 2021

Dr. Kim Logan-Nowlin announces the launch of her seventh book, Cosigning Bad Behavior By Commission or Omission, which is available today on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, and Walmart.

What: Book Release Celebration

When: LIVE on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 9:15 p.m. (EST)

Where: Facebook Fanpage (Kim Logan-Nowlin) and YouTube Channel (Dr. Kim Logan-Nowlin)

About the Book

The release of Cosigning Bad Behavior by Commission or Omission written by Kim Logan-Nowlin, Ph.D. is especially timely as the nation approaches the one-year memorial of George Floyd’s murder, because it is more important than ever for people to stand up for what is right. “I am disappointed by the way society, in many cases, chooses to ignore bad behavior based on who is involved. Whether we live in the best suites or the worst streets, we should not cosign bad behavior,” said chaplain of Detroit Medical Center, Dr. Portia Lockett, who endorsed Cosigning.

Too often many people stand by and watch wrong being done, but this book gives undeniable evidence on why cosigning bad behavior can be so destructive. “When you see something, know better, and you do nothing about it, you have cosigned that bad behavior,” says Dr. Kim. Every chapter in this book includes a case study in which Dr. Kim draws from her more than 30 years of work as a licensed professional counselor (LPC). She shares their stories anonymously to illustrate the message of the book. Each story gives testament to the painful consequences and devastation people face when they cosign bad behaviors, but Dr. Kim doesn’t leave her readers without tools and principles to help them avoid making the same mistakes. Cheating spouses, ungrateful children, dishonest employees, gamblers, addicts, bullies, liars, corrupt politicians, ungodly pastors, and more individual situations are discussed in detail with practical tips and action points. These points reveal how to avoid taking part in negative behaviors that can slowly destroy an otherwise good life.

In 2021, Cosigning is an authoritative call to action—take responsibility for your life! “The failure to either confront such behaviors or to actively support them is counterproductive to strong, stable families, friendships, business and communities,” says Cosigning endorser Kenneth Anderson, Executive Director of Leadership Empowerment Enterprise in Huntsville, AL. This book explains to the readers why they should communicate clearly to others that they will have no part in negative lifestyles of dishonesty, immorality or take part in criminal activities.

Dr. Kim shares solid evidence of participating in bad behaviors in relationships, how to avoid participating willingly in damaging habits, and what to do if you are faced with a negative opportunity to incriminate yourself or support someone else. She catches her readers coming and going by bringing home the message on how cosigning bad behavior often happens without direct intention but rather by omission—people seeing something wrong but doing or saying nothing about it. “It is said that silence is golden, but it can also be destructive,” says Dr. Kim.

Cosigning Bad Behavior by Commission or Omission offers valuable wisdom for anyone in any type of relationship or business who is looking for help, healing, hope, inspiration, and guidance. To learn more about Cosigning Bad Behavior by Commission or Omission, join Dr. Kim LIVE on her Facebook fanpage (Dr. Kim Logan-Nowlin) or her YouTube channel (Dr. Kim Logan-Nowlin) on Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 9:15 p.m. (EST) for her latest book release celebration.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. always said, “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Let’s stop cosigning bad behavior!

Raise Your Frequency; Change Your Life! How To Take Your Power Back in Uncertain Times in the New #1 International Best Selling Book Break Free to Peace, Love & Unity


What gives my life meaning is helping others realize that each one of us is made up from divine fragments of the Creator light

Sharon Caren is a voice offering a way through the darkness. She is a spiritual intuitive, author, speaker and transformational coach. After a near-death experience 25 years ago, she became deeply connected to the spiritual world and the advantages of working within it. Her life’s work is now in the Akashic Records, helping people connect with their soul purpose, step into their personal power, and discover their path to a happy and fulfilled life. Sharon is known for her fluency and depth of spiritual wisdom, her mastery in identifying blockages and releasing old energies, and her compassionate, intuitive approach to transformation.

Sharon joins 13 co-authors in “Break Free to Peace, Love and Unity”, an Amazon #1 international best seller in eight international categories and a best seller in 54 categories. The authors share how you can Break Free from your challenges no matter how daunting they are. They extend the offer to find Peace, Love and Unity within yourself and those around you. In her chapter, Raise Your Frequency; Change Your Life, Sharon shared: “We all have situations and circumstances, and they don’t have us when we learn to connect with a higher power. What gives my life meaning is helping others realize that each one of us is made up of divine fragments of the Creator’s light. I say that ‘The Creator source is in me and runs my being.’ It’s important to understand the dynamics of the energetic light force to grasp how connected we are and connected to all that is.”

Sharon believes that through your unique being, you project all aspects of this energy light source out into the world to illuminate the darkness. As you explore, grow, and expand, your energetic frequency rises and your light becomes brighter. This is called evolution. You are an ever-evolving being of light who has a human experience in an earth suit.

Sharon offers these tips to help you get started to being in alignment to yourself:

1. Breathe deeply into your belly and down into the Earth.

2. Ground. Feel your connection with the Earth. You are safe.

3. Remember, you have unique gifts to bring to the world.

Her teaching echoes that of Joseph Campbell who said: “Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.”

She encourages the readers to remember to breathe because they are safe and always connected.

She teaches the reader that a person’s soul is always with them. “It’s who you are now and when you are not in a physical body,” she says. “It’s your life in-between lives in the spirit world in another dimension. You’re a luminous light being having a human experience on the planet in an earth suit yourself that has all the answers. It’s the connection with your infinite nature and where your power is.”

Sharon shares that it is a series of life events, trauma, and experiences that causes you to awaken to your life’s purpose or calling. Sharon too had those experiences that blocked her energy source from childhood, marriage, and the trauma of a broken neck accident. As Sharon awakened she decided to take charge and make different choices. Sharon summarizes: “So notice what you are noticing. I began to notice, looking back over my life, it was time to decide what I would love, knowing I am a creator. There is so much more to life than situations and circumstances!”

Sharon and her book were showcased at the Break Free International Summit on February 27, 2021 with world renowned and celebrity keynote speakers. This event covers 24 time zones, hosted more than 16 speakers, and has had 20,000 views. Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, best-selling author and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, was the grand keynote speaker for the summit. He was joined by accomplished actresses Wendy Braun and Julie Garnye. Garnye performed live during the event. Braun has more than 90 television, film and theater credits and is now recurring on her third season of Netflix’s original comedy series, “Atypical.” Garnye was most recently seen as an original cast member of the first national tour of the Broadway hit “Come From Away” and in “Frozen Live” at the Hyperion Theatre at the Disneyland Resort in Southern California. Garnye is also the singing voice of the fairy “Lyria” in the Tinker Bell series of films for Disney Animation, and was the “In Memoriam” soloist for the 2016 Daytime Emmy Awards telecast as well as part of the “Les Misérables” ensemble for the Academy Awards (The Oscars) telecast in 2013.

Seema Giri, International Best Selling & Award-winning Author, created the Break Free International Summit. The book is her second anthology following the highly acclaimed #1 international bestseller, “Break Free to Stand In Your Power,” which has garnered best selling status in 27 categories and #1 selling status in six international categories.

Giri has co-authored the book “The Authorities,” with New York Times Bestselling authors Dr. John Gray (“Men are from Mars Women are from Venus”), Marci Shimoff (“Happiness for No Reason”) and Raymond Aaron (“Double Your Income Doing What You Love”) where she shares her extraordinary story of transforming her own life from being bedridden with chronic pain to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Her mission is to instill hope and inspire people to take action so they can make the impact in the world they were meant to.

Author Mom and Mentor Therese Allison announces ‘Business Cheerleader’ Brand, New Cover and Website for “Playing for Keeps” Book


Therese Allison, Business Cheerleader, Mom, Mentor and Author of “Playing for Keeps – How a 21st century businesswoman beat the boys”

With almost 20 years of experience closing multi-million dollar deals and breaking the glass ceiling in the man’s world of insurance brokerage, Therese Allison provides a success roadmap with new tools in her self-help memoir, “Playing for Keeps.”

Successful Businesswoman, Mom and Mentor Therese Allison announces a new “Business Cheerleader” brand, “Playing for Keeps” book cover and ThereseAllison.com website. Allison’s goal is to help more people achieve their dreams by highlighting her business success secrets, life skills tips, and new tools based on becoming financially independent at age 38 and retiring early at 43 to spend quality time with her children.

Allison expands on these updates, “After reading the book reviews and doing media interviews, I have found that people are most interested in my career success story as a woman who broke barriers in the highest levels of business.”

With almost 20 years of experience closing multi-million dollar deals and breaking the glass ceiling in the man’s world of insurance brokerage, Allison provides a success roadmap with new tools, including:


  • 1) 16 “Pearls of Wisdom” – Allison’s lessons learned teach how to build allies, close deals and gain confidence to become unstoppable.
  • 2) “Velvet Glove for Women” – How to be feminine but firm, funny but smart in a world of businessmen.
  • 3) “Lucy Moments” – Allison developed “Lucy Moments” based on Hollywood Legend Lucille Ball’s business success skills. The author explains how to use humor to build allies, diffuse big egos, and bounce back from failures to advance your career.
  • 4) Synchronicity Power – Allison shows how synchronicity had a powerful impact on “Playing for Keeps,” and steps to take to manifest success. Combining manifestation with synchronicity can help attract the right people and results at the right time

Using these self-taught skills, Allison broke the glass ceiling as the first female producing Partner in an insurance brokerage company tied to Lloyd’s of London where for 300 years, women weren’t allowed on the underwriting floor.

Book reviews by media and readers have described “Playing for Keeps – How a 21st century businesswoman beat the boys” this way:

  • “The book is a portrait of a successful businesswoman, but also a love letter to Allison’s family heritage.” – Matt Szabo, The Los Angeles Times
  • “Business adventures and a bold family’s history merge in this compelling, entertaining and fact-filled narrative….the author weaves clear personal leadership take-aways into her own challenges and aspirations.” – Bruce Craven, Faculty, Columbia Business School, Executive Education
  • “After reading “Playing for Keeps”, I went through several rounds of interviews for two DA’s offices. Out of 100 applicants, I was fortunate to be offered both jobs. The whole time I was thinking about your tips to success, especially at times when I was the only female in the room.” – Kaitlin R.
  • “Therese Allison presents us with a book that is in part a family memoir and in part an insight into the mindset of an extremely successful businesswoman. I laughed, I cried and I scribbled down lessons I wanted to learn.” – Artisan Book Reviews.

Allison believes all of these brand changes are a result of synchronicity or a series of “meaningful coincidences,” which are described in her new blog. The author dedicates “Playing for Keeps” to her father Gould Allison, who she thanks for being “her biggest cheerleader,” which inspired her “Business Cheerleader” brand.

The author is now busy mentoring her three children and others to excel in business and life. Allison’s son posted her “16 Pearls of Wisdom” above his desk while attending UCLA, and at age 27, became one of the youngest Principals for a multi-billion corporation headquartered in New York.

A New Perspective on Female Leadership from 22 Executives & Entrepreneurs


“Leadership is all about courage, clarity, and conviction, and these women have these traits in abundance. Collaborating with them has been an honor, and I believe this is a must-read leadership book for the 21st-Century.” – Kayleigh O’Keefe, Publisher

Most leadership books written for women today advise us to lean in, speak up, and demand more. They are filled with tactical advice on everything from positioning yourself in the boardroom to negotiating an equitable compensation package. Few, however, start with what matters most and most fail to help readers consider questions like, Who are you? What do you care about? What makes you an effective leader? What matters to you?

Significant Women: Leaders Reveal What Matters Most answers these questions through the experiences and wisdom of female business executives.

Soul Excellence Publishing brought together 22 female executives and entrepreneurs from six countries who had wrestled with these questions and emerged with renewed perspectives on leadership and life. These are leaders who have leveraged their experiences and led accomplished lives in the business world by revisiting their sense of significance often.

“This book fulfills a special part of my vision for Soul Excellence,” shared Kayleigh O’Keefe, founder of Soul Excellence Publishing, “Leadership is all about courage, clarity, and conviction, and these women have these traits in abundance. Collaborating with them has been an honor, and I believe this is a must-read leadership book for the 21st-Century.”

Significant Women: Leaders Reveal What Matters Most (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0927YG1FH) features twenty-two authors, some new to publishing and others adding to their collection of works — but all sharing their chapter for the first time:

Michelle Accardi (Author), Beth Adams (Author), Dr. Brigitte Bojkowszky (Author), Dr. Bethany L. Brown (Author), Karen Ann Bulluck (Author), Pam Casale (Author), Chantée Christian (Author), Angela Earl (Author), Linda Fisk (Author), Jonquil Hackenberg (Author), Angel Jones (Author), Maria Kofod Larsen (Author), Katherine MacIlwaine (Author), Mary Mesaglio (Author), Dr. Christine F. Noonan (Author), Anjali Pendlebury-Green (Author), Jennifer Sherlock (Author), Sasha Stair (Author), Elizebeth Varghese (Author), Alicia R. Wallace (Author), Vicki Watilo (Author), Dr. Kristina Tickler Welsome (Author). Introduction written by Kayleigh O’Keefe.

On April 16, the book achieved number one Best Seller status on several Amazon charts including Women & Business, Mentoring & Coaching, Small Business, Career Guides, Leadership, Personal Success, Jobs & Careers, Knowledge Capital, Time Management, Decision-Making & Problem-Solving, and Management.

On the same day, the publisher led several launch parties live streamed on Facebook and will host a Virtual Significant Women Leadership Summit featuring interviews with all of the authors May 11-May 15th. The event will be free and live streamed in a private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/456599385625148.
