Are you the one who saves the day at work? Does your family expect you to do it all when you get home? Perhaps you used to like being thought of as reliable, but you long for a life of your own again—one that doesn't include having the ability to attract lots of people into your life who need lots of "help."

It isn't just you. Lots of women have been socialized this way, and worse, no one has been talking about it—setting us up for isolation and second guessing ourselves all the while… Show more

Are you the one who saves the day at work? Does your family expect you to do it all when you get home? Perhaps you used to like being thought of as reliable, but you long for a life of your own again—one that doesn't include having the ability to attract lots of people into your life who need lots of "help."

It isn't just you. Lots of women have been socialized this way, and worse, no one has been talking about it—setting us up for isolation and second guessing ourselves all the while.

The Strong Woman Trap takes a hard look at the cultural beliefs that set strong, driven, ambitious women up for a life spent constantly saving others from themselves, filling in gaps on every team with their own efforts, and going it alone like a hybrid of Wonder Woman and Working Girl.

Women are strong. We are called on for our strengths all the time. We are called on fix what is broken. We are called on heal what is hurt. We are called on to pull it all together. Often our role is to be the glue that binds the world.

But when do our lives begin?

The answer to the dilemma usually is one more personal sacrifice away. One more problem to solve for someone else, and we can focus on ourselves again. One more set of dues to pay, and we can earn the recognition we deserve.

If you read Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and wondered just how much farther you had to lean, this book is for you.

Wishes won’t get you there. Neither will doubling down on the strategies that got into this dilemma where you're good enough to be the fixer but not seen as the leader. What will get you there goes beyond an effort-driven life that seems to call for more control, more sucking it up and more desperately holding things together.

What will get you there is learning the secrets to escaping The Strong Woman Trap. Show less

This book won't show you how to do anything. Too many books (and experts and gurus and infomercials) do that already. You also have probably checked them out and found -- for one reason or another -- these processes, programs and ""step by step ladders to guaranteed success"" don't work for you.

This is a guide for people who hate to be told what to do, and who want to lead their own learning process and be their own expert. People who want to get epic shit done need to be skilled in… Show more

People who want to get epic shit done need to be skilled in telling the difference between what works and what doesn't (and have the stones to move on when everything blows up).

If you are looking for approval, this book isn't for you. This is a book for people who want to do AWESOME things on their own terms, because it's RAD.

Advance Praise for Agile!

Guiding us through the Agile methodology, Sasha Mobley brilliantly simplifies the pursuit of our goals. Personally, I was thrilled to discover that the best way to achieve anything worthwhile is to do it half-assed.

Really great! Reading it feels having a warm friend who believes in your goals...buuuutttt she isn't gonna let you get too dreamy because she wants you to get it done! Pragmatic and encouraging! Love the idea of sprinting...a LOT and the insightful questions and exercises too.
