About this listen

Read by the author.

Whether you’re facing the glass ceiling, a toxic work environment, or anything in between, limit-breaking female founder Heather Monahan’s 3-Step BAK process will help you evaluate and eliminate any outside or self-defeating blockers between where you are now and where you deserve to be.

If you’ve ever felt alone, down, defeated, or discouraged—this book’s for you.

If you’ve ever been unsure of your next move or felt your confidence slip just when you needed it the most—this book is definitely for you.

Author and entrepreneur Heather Monahan will help you learn the easy but remarkable steps you can take to overcome the negative people and other challenges we all encounter at work and at home, find real and lasting happiness, and achieve the success you deserve in your career and in your personal life.

Growing up in poverty, Heather leapfrogged the tremendous obstacles in her life to reach the pinnacle of success in business—only to lose it all when she was fired by the villain who was her new boss. She has seen the worst of the worst when it comes to the destruction a toxic workplace can have on someone’s perception of themselves and their outlook for the future. In this book, she lights the beacon on your path toward stepping into and then stomping out your fear to reach your full potential—regardless of the level of trauma you’ve experienced or are currently experiencing in your workplace.

Overcome Your Villains will help you learn:

  • Heather’s 3-Step BAK process to evaluate your situation and identify a clear path forward.
  • How to deal with (or overcome) a toxic environment, whether that be at work, at home, or in your own head.

All the options you have to reach your full potential, and how to immediately start pursuing them.

Accompanying exercises and links are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A disruptive book in a time needing disruption

Everybody is worried about something.

Many of us are in, or have been in jobs that have left us doubting our self-worth, undermining our confidence and effectively making us feel helpless to improve our lot. This book is about changing that mindset.

Thanks to COVID-19, if you have a stable job, and it puts food on the table just now, for many unhappy people, that means 'sucking it up' even if your workplace, your boss or your co-worker(s) are making your life miserable. Heather talks about disrupting the false sense of security that having a job today gives you, even if it is ruining your health (physical or mental).

Heather highlights her own experience, starting out in her own business and being disrupted by COVID-19 just as it was starting to take off. She also talks about multiple setbacks, and how others (including her) aren't always as 'perfect' as we might think - other people can be a mess too, but are better at concealing it. She constantly reminds her readers and listeners to place value in themselves and remember what is important to them to drive themselves through the challenges that they face.

I enjoyed the book, but the audiobook has additional insights as she reflects upon what she wrote with 20/20 hindsight that make it even more worthwhile. The audiobook also allowed her to show more of her personality, and she is pleasant to listen to - there are plenty of authors who are far better writers than narrators. She can do both well.

I would love to see (and hear) her thoughts on what companies can do to keep employees, and to ensure that toxic behaviours are identified, confronted and pushed out the door. She has written two awesome books for employees wanting to 'escape' and helping them to find the confidence to move on to better places. I would love to hear her views on what businesses can do to weed out the managers that have made books like her so necessary.

I enjoy her work and hope one day to get her to sign my copy of this book. It is worth every penny.
