You Are Enough!

Reclaiming Your Career and Your Life with Purpose, Passion, and Unapologetic Authenticity

By: Charlene Wheeless

Narrated by: Charlene Wheeless

Length: 4 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's summary

From renowned businesswoman and communications visionary Charlene Wheeless comes an inspiring memoir about facing life’s struggles with unrelenting courage and strength. Part memoir, part motivational guide, and a clear road map for thriving in career and in life, You Are Enough! draws from Wheeless’ experiences climbing the corporate ladder and battling breast cancer to illustrate life lessons for others.

Personal recollections are used to illustrate that Black women not only have to contend with a glass ceiling, but also a concrete wall that makes it impossible to even see what lies on the other side, much less determine how to get there. While acknowledging that there's no single path around that wall, Wheeless shares advice on how she navigated the route herself. For Wheeless, this means busting stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and flat-out refusing to be ignored, pigeonholed, or forgotten.

While You Are Enough! chronicles Charlene’s fearless quest to be the best possible version of herself in every aspect of her life, her story is everyone's story regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. With wit, raw honesty, blazing courage, and solution-driven sensibility, Charlene reminds us that we are enough!

I'm Never Going to Forget This Book

Having completed the book, I can say there have only been a few instances when I recall feeling so connected to every word and experience an author wrote and shared. This is a survivor's story, whether the survival was Corporate America or cancer, and it's also a primer on self-reflection, courage, and ultimately found resilience. I frequently realized how often I was nodding in agreement as the author recalled memories about the difficulties she dealt with while working in Corporate America, for I had those same experiences, and I also felt the ache of loss and uncertainty as she described how cancer changed her in virtually every way. But more than anything, I celebrated her adaptability, willingness to learn and grow, and commitment to sharing what she's learned so that others won't have to figure it all out as she had to. I LOVED the book and am grateful to have found it at a time when its message and call to action are uniquely relatable as I navigate my own professional and personal life. I recommend this book for everyone because its message is universal, but especially for women, people of color, or anyone who has been othered and required to find their own strength to survive and thrive.

A fabulous and inspiring listen!

I loved every minute of You are Enough. Charlene narrates her own words which makes it a powerful experience and leadership lessons abound.

Learned a lot from this book

Charlene encourages others to stand up for themselves both personally and professionally. I loved this book! It offered a lot in terms of knowing one's worth and working through adversity.
