Summary
Details

For those drawn to mission-driven work, the promise is simple: make the world better while doing what you love. But what happens when that promise shatters? In Promises Broken, we confront the painful paradox of purpose-driven organizations that damage the very people committed to their cause.

Through intimate personal stories, this book exposes the unique toxicity that can flourish behind the shield of mission-driven work. It follows five women across different sectors whose dedication to their calling left them physically, emotionally, and spiritually depleted. Promised Broken challenges the destructive narrative that self-sacrifice equals commitment.

But this isn't a story of defeat. It's a powerful testament to what becomes possible when we finally put words to our experiences and find community in our shared struggles. Drawing from these real-life accounts of women who've walked this path, Promises Broken validates what so many mission-driven professionals suspect but still need to hear: It's not you. You're not alone. And it's okay to put yourself first.
