About The Book

Every high-achieving woman needs to have more clarity, confidence, and alignment. Yet after working with hundreds of high-performing women, we know the vast majority of them struggle with overfunctioning, chronic overwhelm, and the pressure to carry it all.

The result is that most experience exhaustion and a deep disconnect from themselves on a daily basis.

Gia Lacqua knows all about helping women overcome the kind of identity dilution and burnout that come from this pattern of overfunctioning. In fact, she has developed a proprietary methodology called Radical Prioritization®, a trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed framework that has helped countless women and organizations reclaim their clarity, rebuild their confidence, and expand their true capacity.

In PowerShift, former Fortune 100 executive, leadership advisor, and trauma-informed empowerment coach Gia Lacqua shares key insights that help high-achieving women avoid the common traps that keep them stuck in survival mode—such as mistaking busyness for purpose, productivity for worth, and exhaustion for achievement.

This book will help you:

Stop overfunctioning at the cost of yourself
Overcome the hidden conditioning that keeps you stuck and depleted
Be free from exhaustion, emotional overload, and internal pressure
Engage in aligned, intentional decision-making rooted in truth—not fear
Achieve more clarity, confidence, and impact with far less strain

PowerShift is the roadmap for women who are done performing success—and ready to lead with clarity, embodied confidence, and power.

A Message from Gia

A few years ago, when I first started pursuing the goal of helping women redefine success and feel truly confident in who they are, I was lit up—hopeful, determined, ready. But for so many years before that, I had lived inside the exact opposite reality: high-performing on the outside, quietly unraveling on the inside. I knew what it felt like to overfunction, to silence myself, to carry it all because I didn’t know another way.

And in the years since building elivate, I have seen hundreds of brilliant, accomplished women struggle with the exact same thing—running their lives on survival mode, performing confidence they don’t actually feel, and losing themselves beneath all the roles, expectations, and demands.

That is what led me to developing the PowerShift process and writing this book. Because I know what it’s like to be the woman who is “capable enough” for everyone except herself… the woman who can handle everything except her own truth… the woman who looks strong but feels exhausted by how much she’s carrying.

And here’s the part I need you to hear:
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are not failing.
You’re simply running a strategy that once protected you—but is now costing you your voice, your energy, your clarity, your joy, and your power.

Writing PowerShift has been the most vulnerable, honest, and purpose-driven thing I’ve ever done. I wrote it for the woman I used to be—the one who desperately needed someone to hand her a map out of burnout, self-abandonment, and overperformance… and back into herself.

So if any of that resonates with you—
If you’re tired of being strong for everyone else…
If you’re exhausted from overthinking and overfunctioning…
If you’re ready for a life that actually feels like yours again…

I want to personally invite you to pre-order PowerShift.

This book will help you reclaim the clarity, confidence, and truth you’ve been carrying beneath the surface.
It will make a powerful difference in your life—and in how you lead, love, decide, and show up in the world.

This is your shift moment.
