Smart Girls Struggle
Breaking Through When Being Smart Doesn’t Feel Like Enough
I’m excited to share that my new book Smart Girls Struggle: Breaking Through When Being Smart Doesn’t Feel Like Enough will be published on August 3rd, 2025!
Being smart isn’t always enough. Sometimes it’s the very thing holding you back.
This book unpacks why intelligent women face unique challenges despite their obvious capabilities.
I’ve lived these struggles myself long before I started noticing similar patterns show up in my clinical work with high-achieving women.
This isn’t another “10 steps to fix your broken self” manual.
Smart women don’t need more advice on being better.
They need validation that these struggles are real, and a roadmap for action when their brains keep trying to overthink them into paralysis.
It’s tough to see brilliant women with enormous potential hold themselves back. Their limiting beliefs prevent them from taking even small steps toward their dreams.
The cruel irony is that taking action is exactly what strips these beliefs of their power.
But you can’t discover that by staying stuck.
This book is for women who have downplayed their intelligence to make others comfortable, created endless pros-and-cons lists for decisions others make in minutes, or sabotaged your own success because you’re afraid to make a mistake.
You’ll find both validation and practical wisdom for pushing forward anyway and finally moving toward what you want.
