A motivating story of triumph over anxiety and depression, "Escape from Dark Places" shares a mother’s journey to find answers to her son’s anxiety and depression.

In Work in Progress, Dr. Abbie Maroño debunks the pervasive myth that shame is the antithesis of empowerment, revealing how, if understood and embraced, it can guide us towards our most authentic selves.

Popular media often offers individuals empty promises of empowerment, urging them to become ‘bulletproof.’ It also portrays shame as the antithesis of empowerment. Yet, in reality, shame signals when one’s actions don’t align with their ideal self. By dismissing this signal, they hinder their journey to becoming their best selves. True empowerment arises when one cultivates a healthy relationship with shame.

Work in Progress delves into the science of shame and empowerment, equipping people to navigate their feelings of shame and transition into a state of empowerment. While many books on empowerment are well-intentioned, they often overlook or misinterpret the science behind individuals’ experiences of shame, how they reconcile their self-perception with their surroundings, and how they achieve empowerment amidst its elusive definition. This work challenges the idea that empowerment is exclusively a feminist concept reserved for women. It underscores that empowerment is universal, accessible to all, no matter who they are.

According to Master-certified life coach and Le Cordon Bleu trained chef Molly Zemek, untangling food’s role as a necessary source of nourishment and emotional comfort may be a complicated process, but it is an essential part of personal healing. 

As a lifelong foodie turned life coach, Molly Zemek spent years pursuing what she calls a “love affair” with food. Her passion for eating and cooking led to her feeling out of control around food and took its toll on her mental and physical health. Compared to others, who seemed to know when they’d eaten enough, Molly felt like she was missing a “stop” button. 

Once Molly discovered the reasons behind her internal battle with food and herself, she was able to help countless others investigate their relationship with food—empowering them to act without sacrificing the pleasure in eating. Her approach, detailed within Decoding Your Emotional Appetite, offers a unique perspective on food and wellness for anyone seeking to better understand their eating habits. 

Decoding Your Emotional Appetite addresses the many reasons people eat—beyond fuel. With the lessons she learned from her own weight-loss journey, and those of her clients, Molly Zemek helps health and food enthusiasts identify what’s at the heart of their eating, in order to create the relationship they want with food and themselves.

In today’s world, technology has added additional pressure and anxiety to life rather than saving precious time. With digital distractions and social isolation, people become less self-aware—an important key to surviving. Award-winning speaker, coach, and patient advocate Carolyn Gross offers her own story of transformation as a tool for others to go from burnout to brilliance and realize they can create personal chaos—or not—simply by controlling their responses to life’s events. Rise Above the Chaos offers life exploration methods to help determine how stress is affecting readers’ lives and health before providing the tools to restore, relax, and renew. Readers learn to identify internal vs. external chaos so they can manage both without adding stress. Carolyn lifts readers’ awareness and helps them gain perspective on how adversity can actually sharpen their wits and skills, ultimately making them more joyful, powerful, and confident.

In today's increasingly visual business world, personal style matters. A well-dressed woman conveys authority and confidence—critical traits for leading a team and driving revenue. Clothes the Deal shows women that enviable personal style isn't just for millennials and celebrities but is a skill they are more than qualified to master, with far less clothes than they ever imagined. Personal stylist and closet coach, Jenn Mapp Bressan, explains why closet size doesn’t matter, the surprising places you store “closet fat”, how to eliminate it for good, the 10 garments women need to create an endless wardrobe, and more. Featuring a foreword by the wildly talented and successful Christian Siriano, this handbook teaches readers how to master an enviable look—for work and play—that they can depend on for the rest of their life.

This guide is for women who are successful—at academics, professional goals, and social situations—yet for reasons unknown cannot stop overeating, particularly using food as comfort. A diet-free life sounds like a pipe dream and regretting overeating is a regular pattern after dealing with stress. The good news is: there is a different way to enjoy life. Goodbye Comfort Food takes women through seven practices that give them practical tools for daily use along with mindset changes that allow them to be successful at freeing themselves from overeating. Robin Rae Morris’s combination of tools plus mindset—minus any focus on diets—gives women a new way of looking at long-term eating issues and solving them by paying attention to nourishing both their bodies and their lives.

Women are often told, “Things are really sexist, and all we can do is ignore it.” Career Defense 101 does not accept that answer but compiles research and tools that have actually been proven to work in ending harassment and helping women advance in their careers.

Women often work twice as hard as everyone else to get to the top of their field, yet sexual harassment can still make them feel trapped, afraid, and vulnerable. This may leave them wondering if they have a responsibility to other women in their field (or to other women in their family) to change a sexist environment. As a trial lawyer and coach, Meredith Holley uses what she has learned from her own experiences of overcoming harassment, stalking, and discrimination, as well as her legal experience, to help her clients. Even women who do not want to bring a legal claim for their harassment are able to use the strategies she teaches in Career Defense 101 to overcome sexual harassment and reach a new level in their careers.

In Think Again!, Jeanne Andrus tackles "brain fog" – a term she uses for the symptoms of menopause that affect the way you think. She covers why they happen, what they feel like, and how to tell when these might be symptoms of a more serious issue.

Matt’s job, as a personal safety coach, is to not only give women the tools to fight back during an assault, but also to help them prevent themselves from being assaulted in the first place. The right action to take is often in advance of a likely violent encounter in order to avoid it altogether. The best way to protect one’s self is avoiding the situation in which she is forced to defend herself. Reinvent Your Personal Safety talks about the different ways this is possible, as well as about the best way to handle one’s self when violent confrontation simply cannot be avoided.

This is for the high-school girl, for the grandmother, for the young professional, for the working mother – anyone who is willing to overcome their limiting beliefs about what they’re capable of and key into what self-protection is really about. In reality, knowledge of the appropriate action to take in any given situation is worth scores more than athleticism.
