Powershift - by Gia Lacqua (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Women today aren't just busy--we're saturated. With obligations, invisible labor, and impossible expectations. We lead in boardrooms, keep households afloat, build businesses, raise the next generation--and still feel like we're not doing enough. And the result? Dilution.
Of our energy. Our clarity. Our identity. Our power. Our joy.

If you're overwhelmed, exhausted, and unfulfilled despite "having it all," you're not alone. The pressure to excel in every role--to lead, nurture, perform, and produce--has become the norm. You're holding it all together--but at the cost of yourself. Brilliant, capable women running at capacity--yet disconnected from what matters most.

The cost of burnout isn't just personal--it's organizational, societal, and generational. Women are the backbone of progress--and when they're stretched thin, entire systems feel the strain.

PowerShift isn't about productivity--it's about priority.

It's the clarity to know what matters most--and the courage to release what doesn't--and the strategic capacity to lead, live, and decide with intention.

With this transformative framework, you'll learn how to:

- Expose the hidden conditioning keeping you stuck

- Stop mistaking busyness for purpose and exhaustion for achievement

- Make bold decisions rooted in clarity and confidence

- Redefine success in a way that aligns with your values and multiplies your impact

If you've been waiting for permission to stop settling...
If you've been waiting for the right moment to shift...

This is it.

This isn't about stepping back. It's about shifting into your power.

This is your PowerShift.
