The 7 Giants: Conquering Hidden Obstacles That Keep Capable Women From Building What Comes Next

The 7 Giants is for capable women who know they are ready for something more but cannot quite understand what keeps getting in the way.Sometimes the obstacle is obvious. Often, it is not.After decades of achievement, responsibility, caregiving, leadership, and doing what needed to be done, a woman can arrive at a surprising question: What comes next? She may have experience, intelligence, credentials, and a long history of getting things done-and still find herself hesitating at the edge of her next chapter.Transformational life coach, attorney, and speaker Connelia Z. Houston identifies seven hidden obstacles that can quietly keep capable women stuck: fear, distraction, self-reliance, settling, people-pleasing, limiting beliefs, and shame.These "Giants" do not always look dramatic. They can appear as overthinking, staying busy without moving forward, accepting "fine," carrying everything alone, shrinking to keep others comfortable, believing an old story about what is possible, or allowing the past to have more authority than it deserves.Through practical insight, reflection, and real-life perspective, The 7 Giants helps readers recognize what has been operating beneath the surface, challenge the patterns that no longer serve them, and move toward what comes next with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.This is not a book about becoming someone new. It is about confronting what has been standing between you and the woman you are already becoming.
