The Painting on the Wall: The Hidden Cost of Success—and Making Room for Ourselves Again

An intimate book launch conversation for women with Dr. Angélica Pérez-Litwin

Some of us have spent a lifetime achieving—building careers, meeting expectations, caring for others, and becoming the person everyone can count on. Yet success can come with costs we rarely talk about.

Join us for an evening celebrating the launch of Dr. Angélica Pérez-Litwin’s new book, The Great Unraveling: The Silent Crisis of High Achievers and the Path to Career Harmony.

Angélica will open with a personal reading from “The Painting on the Wall,” the book’s first chapter, followed by a fireside conversation about why she wrote the book, the hidden distress she’s witnessed in accomplished professionals, and what happens when achievement becomes intertwined with identity and self-worth.

The conversation will also explore Career Harmony—a healthier, more sustainable relationship with work and success—and how to make more room for yourself.

We’ll close with a brief guided reflection, inviting you to imagine how you want your next chapter to feel.

You’ll leave feeling seen, a little lighter, and surrounded by women who understand exactly what you’re carrying.

Signed copies of The Great Unraveling will be available for purchase. Seats are limited.
