Janet Bernstein, Keynote Speaker & 10x Best-Selling Author | The Jeff Crilley Show

from The Jeff Crilley Show · host RNCN

Janet Bernstein quit her corporate job on August 19 and had a bestselling book out by October 10. That kind of urgency doesn't come from ambition—it comes from someone who finally stopped ignoring what was wrong. Janet is a keynote speaker, ten-time author, and Chief Glow Strategist who helps accomplished women stop shrinking and start leading out loud. On this episode, she sits down with Jeff Crilley to talk about the childhood experiences that turned her into a people pleaser (17 schools will do that), the corporate burnout she refused to call burnout until a single weekend of reading changed everything, and why she wrote Let Her Glow to document the messy, honest process of finding herself again. Topics covered:– Growing up with a mother who had severe mental illness and how constant moves shaped her identity– The signs of burnout she kept ignoring—driving to work in silence, losing interest in things she loved– How 46 women became first-time published authors through Janet's collaborative book projects– Her practical burnout recovery steps: unplug, ask hard questions, and stop living someone else's version of your life– A sneak peek at book number eleven, Rebellious Leadership, based on her LinkedIn newsletter Learn more at letherglow.com
