You worked hard, checked the boxes.
So why does it still feel… off?
In Broken, Margaret Weniger challenges the career playbook so many high-achieving women were taught to follow—one that promised fulfillment through titles, promotions, and external validation, but often delivers burnout, confusion, and a quiet sense of misalignment. Through her work with founders and in-depth research with over 100 women navigating modern careers, she uncovers the hidden assumptions that keep ambitious professionals stuck chasing a version of success that was never truly theirs.
This is not another book about climbing the ladder. It’s a guide to stepping off of it.
With practical exercises and a new framework rooted in ownership, agency, and intentional design, Broken helps you rethink success, reconnect with what actually matters, and build a career that fits your life—not the other way around.

”Broken is a practical look at how legacy work systems create invisible barriers in today’s workplace, and why career ownership is no longer optional. Based on interviews with hundreds of professional women and packed with smart reflection exercises, Margaret helps readers chart a next career chapter with clarity, agency, and momentum.”
