Words for What We Carry

"A lot of us felt it but never had the language for it. Now we do."

— Jen Schomer, Founder & Principal, Catalyst HR & People Solutions

Jen read The Breaking Point before it was published. She wrote:

"I related to every single musing… All of them hit hard."

That's what I hoped this book could do: put words to what so many of us in corporate America carry quietly:

• Being the person everyone relies on

• Evenings spent recovering from an ordinary workday

• Strengths that quietly turned into expectations

• Wondering whether your care is changing a place, or just containing it

If you've felt it too, noticing isn't failure. It's the beginning of paying attention. Each chapter ends with Questions for Reflection, and now includes a Grounding section too: a moment of reassurance and perspective, with no pressure to do more or have all the answers.

Book 1 is still free on Kindle today and tomorrow.

⭐ If it helps, leave an honest review. A review helps the next leader find it.

What's something you felt for years before you had the words for it?

With gratitude to Marie Barootjian and Marlin Todd.
