We are officially launching my bestselling book, Unstoppable Grit. Breakthrough the seven roadblocks standing between you and achieving your goals. This is a monumental moment.

In this episode, I'll be reading chapter one of the book. And for anyone who's feeling stuck in their career, overwhelmed by life demand, or in search of that spark to ignite your true potential, this chapter Is your starting line.
So get comfortable and let's celebrate together while reading chapter one from the book, unstoppable grit. Chapter one, life kicked me into risk. Danielle, you've been demoted. The director of human resources said in her annoying biting voice, you will no longer hold a leadership position. She took a breath and then added one more blow effective immediately.
For seven years, I had given everything to this company and I had spent time climbing upward. I had earned the highly sought after top sales manager award, regional manager of the year. I had mentored emerging leaders and honor usually only given to the rising stars of the company. In addition, I had earned the company's awarded of excellence five times for going above and beyond in my role, demonstrating stellar leadership across multiple divisions.
People who earn those types of awards didn't usually get demoted. I sat on the other end of the call in shock, but I managed to shift into my polished professional mode. Help me understand why my voice cracked. I didn't think she noticed. The director cleared her throat. She said, the investigation found you treat people differently.
What? I supported everybody on my team. I took time to get to know them. I helped them strategize their career goals. I knew their core values and their personality types. Heck, I even wrote their spouses and kids thank you cards at the end of each year. I made it a point to regularly encourage and advise each and every one.
And yet here I was, getting the corporate double talk and gloomy uncertain messaging. After the call ended, I slumped onto the rug in my home office, gasping for air as my mind whirled with the sting of false accusations. Little did I know that moment would change the whole course of my career, my personal relationships, and the way I was as a mom.
Absolutely everything. Most of us have a pivotal moment that alters our life. It could be a job layoff, a demotion like in my case, or maybe even a relationship breakup, a death of a family member or a friend, or a health diagnosis, whether personal or for a loved one. It could even be a lot of those events piling together at once.
In this book, you will learn how to develop resilience to overcome life's biggest obstacles and embrace change when the unexpected happens. By identifying stress triggers, you'll be better able to prevent and overcome burnout.

I will walk you through the steps I took to climb out of a devastating series of events, build a six figure business in one year and pursue goals at the time I had never even dared to dream about.
