You Were Never Meant to Play Small

Join Lead, Live, and Love Like a Woman trilogy —
A Co-Author Book Experience Curated by Erica Gifford Mills

I didn’t create this book to teach women how to lead, live, or love.

I created it because we already are.

We’re leading in boardrooms and living rooms.
On stages and in silence.
In startups and schools. In our communities, our homes — and in the quiet battles nobody sees.
We’re already holding it all.
And still… too often, we’re overlooked, underestimated, or told to dim our light just to fit into someone else’s mold.

That ends here.

Lead, Live, and Love Like a Woman Trilogy Trilogy

is a bold, unapologetic book project for women who are done waiting for permission.
This is your platform to rise, speak, lead, live, and love from power — not perfection.

Curated by international empowerment expert Erica Gifford Mills and published by The International Impact Book Awards, this anthology features 25 (75 total) powerhouse women, in three books Lead, Live, and Love … Like A Woman rewriting what leadership, life, and love looks like — not by playing the game, but by changing it. And you can be one of them.

This is your invitation to:

  • Share your story in a professionally published book set to become a #1 Amazon Bestseller
  • Elevate your brand and step into your next level of influence
  • Join a high-level mastermind + book signing experience in a location to be determined.
  • Connect with powerhouse women leaders from around the world
  • And most of all…Lead, live, and love without apology, without permission, and without playing small.

Whether you’re building a business, guiding a team, raising a family, or reclaiming your voice…
You belong here.

Let Lead, Live, and Love Like a Woman be your reminder — not your permission slip.
Because you never needed one in the first place.

Lead Like a Woman

We didn’t need a book to teach us how to lead. We’ve been leading all along. In boardrooms and living rooms, on stages and in silence. This is a rally cry for every woman tired of playing small. It’s about leading without apology—rooted, whole, and on your own terms. These stories are raw, real, and radically honest. A reminder that leadership doesn’t require permission, just presence.

Live Like a Woman

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about living more deeply, intentionally, and without guilt. Live Like a Woman is a return to yourself. A life reclaimed one rooted, sacred choice at a time. You’ll meet women who stopped hustling for worth and started living in alignment with joy, with rest, with fierce, unapologetic presence. This is your invitation to come home to yourself.

Love Like a Woman

Not a guide to finding love, an invitation to be it. Fierce, soft, wild, and wise. Love Like a Woman redefines what it means to love ourselves and others from a place of power, not pain. These stories dismantle myths and reclaim love as something sovereign, not sacrificed. This is love that heals, holds, and honors who you really are.

Lead Like a Woman

You weren’t made to fit the mold — you were made to break it.
Lead Like a Woman isn’t just a book. It’s a fire-starter for women who are done waiting for permission.

This powerful anthology brings together 54 powerhouse women leaders — CEOs, entrepreneurs, coaches, and changemakers — who are rising through resistance and rewriting the rules of leadership on their own terms.

Now, it’s your turn.
