About the book

This collaborative book of essays recounts the heartfelt experiences, insights, and lessons that 18 women, of unique walks of life, shared during one deeply challenging and deeply bonding experience -- launching, scaling, and managing their small businesses during a global pandemic. No small task, to say the least. Though this group of women has never met outside of the parameters of their computer screens, one reality unified their parallel journeys.

They made a commitment to themselves and to each other to pivot with purpose.

They refused to settle, back down or surrender and instead honored the powerful female leaders, entrepreneurs, and women that they are. These are their stories.
This book was an important milestone in Dr. Melinda’s journey and physical representation of the ethos and passion that is also embodied at The Posture Lounge. We invite you to pick up a copy on Amazon or in our office.
