The Audacity of Her

How to Stop Shrinking and Start Leading Out Loud

Every woman knows what it feels like to be told she’s “too” something — too ambitious, too emotional, too direct, too much.

Those words may sound like feedback, but they often serve as quiet instructions to shrink.

The Audacity of Her: How to Stop Shrinking and Start Leading Out Loud is Sonia’s manifesto for women who are ready to stop asking for permission and start leading with voice, conviction and clarity.
