Synopsis

You were told you could have it all. A successful career. A happy family. A fulfilling life. So why do so many accomplished women feel overcommitted, and quietly exhausted?

The Working Woman’s GPS explores the reality many professional women face when the cultural promise of “having it all” leads to pressure, imbalance, and uncertainty about what success should actually look like.

In this candid and insightful guide, JJ DiGeronimo helps ambitious women step back, question outdated expectations, and redefine success in ways that align with their values, priorities, and energy.

Through personal experiences and interviews with professional women across industries, she offers a framework to help readers reconnect with what truly matters and design a more intentional path forward.

Drawing on her own career in the technology industry and years of research and conversations with professional women, JJ DiGeronimo shares practical insights into the challenges many women face as they balance career ambitions, family responsibilities, and personal fulfillment.

Inside, you will discover how to:

• Reevaluate the cultural expectations that shape women’s career decisions
• Use the GPS framework (Goals, Purpose, Self) to regain direction
• Recognize the pressures and tradeoffs affecting professional women
• Identify what is draining your energy and where to set boundaries
• Reconnect with your priorities and redefine success on your terms

This book is for women who are questioning the promise that they can have everything at once and still feel fulfilled. If you are navigating the demands of career, family, and personal identity and wondering whether there is a better way forward, this book will help you pause, reflect, and recalibrate your path.
