"What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open." —The late poet Muriel Ruykeyser
Greetings fellow Ambitious Women:
500 women shared their stories for Ambition Is Not A Dirty Word.
I'm now working on my second book, Ambition Is The Best Revenge: For Women Like Us Who’ve Been To Hell and Back. I’d love to hear your story.
Has there ever been a time in your life when the bottom fell out, when your self esteem and your sense of security took a major hit? Then the road to redemption unexpectedly came from getting back to your ambition and career goals? A time when you found that your ambition was the best therapy after:
- You were fired by a company you’d devoted your heart and soul to.
- You were unceremoniously dumped by the love of your life.
- Your dream business tanked.
- You found yourself in an unflattering spotlight.
- You found yourself at a career crossroads, burned, burned out, and unsure of what you wanted to do next?
- In some way, you were derailed by life. Then you found yourself, found your center again, by getting back to your ambition.
I'd love to hear your story about how your ambition ended up being the best revenge.

"It’s been two long years now since the top of the world came crashing down. But I’m getting it back on the road now, by taking the long way around. I’ll just take my time, I won’t lay down... I fought with a stranger and I met myself. It can get pretty lonely when you’re sure of yourself. Yes I could have made it easier on myself. But I could never follow; I never seem to do it like anybody else. I'm taking the long way around." —Dixie Chicks
