The founder of Boss Women Media and Black Girl Magic summit shares tips on how to stop playing it safe—and start creating a life that’s truly your own.
 
Marty McDonald’s pivotal career moment was nothing if not audacious: she stopped the CEO of a candy company in a hallway, pitched her idea for a special gummy bear flavor, and was soon promoting the Black Girl Magic gummy bear at Sugarfina stores around the country.

​Now, Marty has penned a guide to help women go after their most audacious goals in work and everyday life, and make them a reality. With unflinching honesty, McDonald recounts her personal stories of triumph and failure, offering an intimate look into the audacious decisions that propelled her from uncertainty to success. From navigating the unknown to breaking through barriers that seemed insurmountable, McDonald reveals the mindset, strategies, and bold actions required to turn fear into fuel and transform dreams into reality. She helps women: 

   ·Set aside fear and write a different narrative
   ·Grow comfortable taking risks
   ·Understand the investments you must make in yourself
   ·Understand that “no” is just the beginning of the conversation
   ·Learn other ways to make a difference beyond themselves

Whether you’re looking to level up in your career, create a life of meaning, or embrace the wild unknown of new possibilities, Audacious provides the blueprint to help women find their authentic selves, reach for their wildest dreams, and craft the life they want and deserve.

Audacious by Marty McDonald read by Marty McDonald

The outcast daughter of a powerful family of witches returns home to New York City and is immediately embroiled in a supernatural power struggle in this wickedly funny fantasy debut from AM Kvita.
 
After seven long years Joan Greenwood is finally returning home. Unfortunately, her family totally forgot about it.

Joan’s homecoming is lukewarm at best, but soon turns disastrous when news hits that someone has created a spell that can turn an ordinary human into a powerful witch, threatening the balance of the magical world and the Greenwood’s place at the top of it.

When her best friend confesses that he has secretly, accidentally, saved this human-turned-witch from an uncertain fate, Joan is thrust headfirst into a desperate race to undo the spell before it does permanent damage to its unwilling host.
 
Soon, Joan finds herself drawn deeper into the heart of the city’s magic, into an uncertain alliance with a (very attractive) family rival, and far beyond the limits of everything she thought her own magic capable of.
 
Welcome home Joan Greenwood.

Discover your core values and find your place in life, love, and work.

We all want to be our most authentic selves in every space that we are in―in our relationships, our work, and our communities. But often we feel a disconnect, a tension between who we are and what the people around us expect from us.

How do we find authenticity and fulfillment in every area of our lives?

This is the question at the heart of The Compass Within. In this enlightening workplace parable, Jamie Hynes is a high achieving, early-career manager trying to reconcile his career ambitions with the ethically murky situations his new boss keeps putting him in. Jamie and his new fiancée are also busy making plans for their wedding, facing new decisions everyday about where they'll live and how they'll make a life together in a community where Jamie feels increasingly out of place.

When a member of Jamie's Emerging Sales & Marketing Leaders forum shares how her life was transformed when she got clear on her values, Jamie takes notice―and soon finds himself meeting with Jack Reardon, the forward-thinking CEO of Compass Media. Jack mentors Jamie in a holistic process to discover his "core values" and align his life to them, prompting him to start making changes and ultimately find the job, partner, and community that will allow him to be his truest, most authentic self.

The process that Jamie learns is a model for all of us to be more deeply connected to the values and principles we care about, gently guiding us in making the tough calls that are sometimes necessary in order to find happiness in every area of our lives. If you've been feeling stuck, The Compass Within is the comprehensive roadmap you need to greater clarity and courage in life, love, and work.
