Jill was miserable.

She wasn’t sleeping at night. She frequently had bouts of anxiety and depression.

As the Controller for a mid-market company with $50 million in annual revenue, she dealt with continual fears of being “found out” that she had “no idea what she was doing.”

The truth was far more nuanced.

Jill had every credential and pedigree you would expect a seasoned Controller to have. She's crazy smart and exceptional at solving complex problems. She had the experience and training to do this work.

The problem?

This was not the work her soul was longing to do. And it was crushing her.

Cheering you on,

Melissa
