Read by the author.

Whether you’re facing the glass ceiling, a toxic work environment, or anything in between, limit-breaking female founder Heather Monahan’s 3-Step BAK process will help you evaluate and eliminate any outside or self-defeating blockers between where you are now and where you deserve to be.

If you’ve ever felt alone, down, defeated, or discouraged—this book’s for you.

If you’ve ever been unsure of your next move or felt your confidence slip just when you needed it the most—this book is definitely for you.

Author and entrepreneur Heather Monahan will help you learn the easy but remarkable steps you can take to overcome the negative people and other challenges we all encounter at work and at home, find real and lasting happiness, and achieve the success you deserve in your career and in your personal life.

Growing up in poverty, Heather leapfrogged the tremendous obstacles in her life to reach the pinnacle of success in business—only to lose it all when she was fired by the villain who was her new boss. She has seen the worst of the worst when it comes to the destruction a toxic workplace can have on someone’s perception of themselves and their outlook for the future. In this book, she lights the beacon on your path toward stepping into and then stomping out your fear to reach your full potential—regardless of the level of trauma you’ve experienced or are currently experiencing in your workplace.

Overcome Your Villains will help you learn:

• Heather’s 3-Step BAK process to evaluate your situation and identify a clear path forward. • How to deal with (or overcome) a toxic environment, whether that be at work, at home, or in your own head.

All the options you have to reach your full potential, and how to immediately start pursuing them.

Accompanying exercises and links are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
