The website for high-achieving women ...

Although the glass ceiling is still intact, it’s definitely showing some cracks! And with each crack, women are gaining a stronger foothold in territories that historically have been dominated by men. Today, more than half of management and professional jobs in the United States are held by women. Female business owners represent one of the fastest growing markets in this country. In politics, the achievements of Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin in the 2008 presidential campaigns are unprecedented, and if statistics offer a glimpse into our future, these milestones mark just the beginning. Compared to the 1970’s, when only about 10% of law students were female, today the percentage has risen to almost half. The same holds true for the medical profession. Clearly, these accomplishments attest to the fact that more than ever before, women are breaking through that proverbial glass ceiling and rising to heights that many would not have believed possible just a few decades ago. 

However, this rise often comes at a cost. While today’s high-achieving women are blazing trails to the top of the mountain, little attention is being paid to the perilous terrain that comes with the territory. While there is no doubt that women can survive and even thrive at the top, there are some who become ensnared by it over time and their struggle to break free leaves them feeling exhausted, unproductive, and hopeless.

Is this you? Are you one of these bright, ambitious, and highly driven women feeling unappreciated, stressed, and burned out? If so, you've come to the right place!
