"I have just finished reading your book "Transforming Burnout." Like most people these days, I wear many hats. As a forty-eight year old full time college student, mother, wife, and business owner my life is very hectic, to say the least. When I couldn't fall back to sleep at 2:20 a.m., your book was calling to me from my nightstand so I picked it up and didn't put it down until I was finished! Your book has moved me on many levels. I'm at a cross roads right now in my life and your words of wisdom have helped me tremendously. Thanks for giving me hope and helping me to refocus my energy on what I know to be true!" - Julie A.
