Are you doing it all-but losing yourself in the process?

UNSCRIPTED: How Women Holding It All Together at Home, at Work, and Inside Can Start Choosing Themselves Again is a transformative guide for high achieving women who appear successful on the outside but feel stretched thin on the inside.

Whether you’re leading in a male-dominated workplace, managing a household, or juggling both, the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations can quietly erase your sense of self.

You’re following an invisible script-one that tells you to work harder, stay grateful, and never complain. But what if that script isn’t yours?

Executive coach and leadership consultant Melissa Churchard Hannon invites women to break free from the social generational default and start making choices that reflect their true values-not just their obligations.

Through the story of Lina-a fictional character drawn from real coaching experiences-and the ALIGN framework, Melissa helps readers recognize the unconscious scripts guiding their decisions, set healthy boundaries without guilt, navigate gender bias and workplace pressure with clarity and confidence, and redefine success on their own terms.

UNSCRIPTED is not about doing more-it’s about doing what matters most. If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a life that feels more aligned, more honest, and more yours, this book is your invitation to stop performing and start choosing yourself again.

Melissa specifically kept the book short and an easy read – (1 one plane flight.) No one, especially women, need anything else on their to do list.

Tracey
TraceyAssociate Director of College Counseling
"[...] Today I have felt freer, more confident, empowered and lighter- from the moment we made the final decision, I knew it was the right one. After all my hemming and hawing last week, you really talked me off a ledge. I was so scared and overwhelmed by it all. Finally making the decision has given me the clarity I was hoping for. And what's more, things are working out better than expected.[...]"
