I wrote Making Sundays Less Scary because I've lived the Sunday Scaries. I've felt that creeping dread as weekend freedom gives way to Monday's reality. But I've also discovered that we're never as stuck as we think we are. Small, strategic moves can radically transform our relationship with work and reclaim the life that happens between Monday and Friday.
About The Author
After a decade as a stay-at-home mom, I reentered the workforce selling copy machines when no one would hire the woman with the "resume gap." I quickly discovered that follow-up and extending kindness weren't just values—they were competitive advantages in a corporate world that often devalues both.
Every frustrating job and dismissive manager became an unexpected education, shaping the leader I am today.
These lessons drove me to write Making Sundays Less Scary—because transforming our relationship with work transforms every other relationship in our lives. My journey hasn’t been linear, but it taught me that your next chapter is never defined by your last one—it's created by the small, courageous moves you make today.
