Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here

I wrote Shine Brighter because I've been exactly where you are. After 20 years in executive recruiting and over 30,000 interviews with high-achieving professionals, I kept seeing the same pattern: incredibly successful people who felt secretly disconnected, constantly drained, and quietly questioning if this was really "it."

The breaking point came during my own season of burnout when I realized I had built an impressive life that didn't actually feel like mine. This book is my roadmap back—not just to success, but to the kind of success that energizes rather than exhausts you.

Because you weren't meant to choose between achievement and aliveness. You can absolutely have both.
