Keep Your Ambition, Just Stop Leaving Yourself Out of It
A group coaching experience in a book for ambitious women, written by an ICF-credentialed executive coach who learned the hard way how to pursue big goals without losing herself, so you don’t have to.
Available on November 10th.
Why do you feel empty even though your life is good?
You built the career, the family and the life you wanted. From the outside, everything’s fine, and you’ve made sure of it. You just feel guilty wanting more, and you’re not alone.
Most advice says "slow down" or "want less" Sheena says keep the ambition; just stop leaving yourself out of it. Embodied Alignment shows you how. It's a group coaching experience for high-achieving women, in written form and made to come back to.
Each chapter follows the flow of a real group coaching session, with shared stories, reflective questions that make you pause, real science, and practical tools that turn insight into action right away. Along the way, you'll hear from other women in your group, women just like you, and together you'll move through the Embodied Alignment.

What Readers are Saying
“For anyone who has checked every box, achieved their dream, and still found themselves asking, 'How do I create what’s next?' this book is your ultimate guide.”
Sheryl Kurtis,
Former Wells Fargo Vice President, Executive & Leadership Coach
"Embodied Alignment names something so many high-achieving women exactly like myself, feel but rarely say out loud: that success and fulfillment aren't the same thing… If you've been running on willpower and calling it purpose, this is the place to start."
Dr. Kezia Shine, DC, CACCP
“Women have been told for far too long that the answer to exhaustion is to want less… Embodied Alignment makes the case for something much more interesting: keep the ambition, but stop abandoning yourself to achieve it.”
Jessica Winder,
Founder of Hidden Gem Career Coaching, author of The Hidden Gem Within
“This book is a manual for genuine fulfillment in today's society. It outlines, in detail, the exact tools necessary to overcome misalignment to create a life that not only feels full, but joyful.”
Anita Golden,
Vice President, Account Management
"Reading Embodied Alignment felt like sitting across from Sheena Lance-Nold with a cup of coffee, having the kind of conversation that stays with you long after it's over… She reminds us that we don't have to choose between achievement and fulfillment; we can create space for both."
Krystal Dalton,
Human Resources Leader
