Praise for Balance is Bullshit
"Balance means different things to different people. The author dives into the details or REAL BALANCE and makes you think whole heartedly about family, work, real friends and spirituality."
"I often read terms like authenticity, alignment, commitment, humility, clarity, growth, connection, resilience, etc. But Loretta brings these to life through lived experience and shares how they can ground one and help them forge their own path in life. And the book is not only about leadership and living your life authentically, it is about living a life in love – with a partner, children, family, grandparents. It is an extraordinary book and I urge you to read it, then pass it along."
"It has invaluable lessons about parenting, spousal partnership, and leadership in business it is a veritable how-to for happiness and success in all three areas. It’s informative, heartwarming, funny, and relatable. It is a refreshing reminder about the power of values and effort."
