Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain-sensing headband that helped you meditate and sleep and meditation studio, the five-star app.

I'm Patricia Carvis.

Today's guest is one of my favorite people in the world.

She's a dear friend, in addition to being a former media executive, angel investor,

mentor to hundreds of young women, and now author of two amazing books. Her first book was a

bestseller and is called The Myth of the Nice Girl. Her recent book is called Embrace the Work,

Love Your Career, a guided workbook for realizing your career goals

with clarity, intention, and confidence. The workbook is intended to help women get the most out of

their careers and is chock full of advice, strategies, creative prompts, and thoughtful

exercises designed to mix action with reflection as you build your plan.

I love the meditations and coloring book features that are included to help us pause and settle.

This holistic mix of actionable tools inspires us to focus on the really big things that truly

matter so that we can each reach our full potential.

One of her supporters says it perfectly.

This book is more than a must read.

It's a must experience for any woman who wants to clarify her purpose and create an action plan to manifest personally and professionally.

Now, here's Fran.

Fran, it is such a pleasure to have you want to entangle today.

Patricia, thank you for having me.

One of my favorite humans.

You're the best.
