Iris went from a shy kid who couldn't sing in front of people, to local TV news, to out of work during COVID with food stamps and six months of rent in the bank. That's where she built a nonprofit that has put more than $50,000 in scholarships into the hands of women and girls.The part that sticks with you comes at the end. Iris names the belief she had to release to become who she is now: Don't get so busy building a legacy that you forget to live the life you're actually in.If you're the woman who says yes when she means no and wears "busy" like a badge, this one's for you.Inside: Why waiting tables is leadership training.

And why saying no is the career skill nobody teaches women.STILL WONDERING IF IT'S THEM OR IF IT'S YOU? Grab Allie's free ebook, It's About Damn Time.
