Then you, like millions of other American women, are at serious risk of burnout—physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion that robs your life of enjoyment and purpose. Whether you’re a professional who’s watching the clock at the office or a stay-at-home mom who’s watching her day slip away with no time for herself, the solution isn’t about taking a day off to recharge or becoming a more proficient multitasker: It’s about making true life changes that will renew your passion and purpose.

Psychotherapist and career coach Leslie Godwin focuses specifically on the needs of women—women who have the innate ability to recognize others’ needs yet suddenly become confused when identifying their own. A former workaholic herself, Godwin shows women how to put their goals and dreams back into focus and provides a step-by-step plan to change their lives.
Using field-tested exercises that others have used as a springboard to success, she explains the four myths that lead to burnout; how to reprioritize your life around your inner calling as opposed to outer chaos or others’ expectations; how to deal with inner and external critics; and how to resolve conflicts between work, family and personal goals. You’ll come away with the tools you need to create the life you want to live.

Leslie Godwin is a career and life-transition coach with twenty years' experience as a psychotherapist. A former workaholic, she is a media resource for CNN, BusinessWeek.com, the LIFETIME channel.
