If you’re feeling anxious right now, you’re not alone. The world is scary, and nothing seems certain except uncertainty. How can you work with authority and strength when you feel anxious? How can you inspire and motivate others when your mind and heart are racing? This is what I tackle in my new book, The Anxious Achiever: Turn Your Biggest Fears into Your Leadership Superpower, to be released by Harvard Business Review Press in April 2023.

I am a podcast host, writer, entrepreneur, mother, and communications executive. I live outside Boston with my family and an assortment of pets. I host The Anxious Achiever podcast, a top-10 Management podcast and 2020 Webby Awards honoree. I'm one of ten thought leaders named LinkedIn’s Top Voices in Mental Health for 2022. Passionate about helping people rethink the relationship between their mental health and their success, I consult for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and US government agencies.

In addition to my contribution to workplace mental health, I founded Women Online, the award-winning social impact agency and I sold it in 2021. I've helped three US presidential candidates and a range of mission-driven organizations create communications, marketing, and fundraising campaigns. I'm a longtime blogger who's covered the campaign trail, the White House, the lactation room, and the office cubicle. I've written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, among other publications. My first book, the Amazon bestseller Hiding in the Bathroom: How To Get Out There (When You’d Rather Stay Home), was published by Dey Street Books in 2017
