Description

What If Your Biggest Setbacks Were Actually Building the Foundation for Your Greatest Success?

Miranda Cullen grew up in a household where the monthly bills brought tears and uncertainty. She started earning her own money at ten, lost someone she loved at nineteen, and spent five years fighting for the family she dreamed of building. When the 2008 recession cost her a career she'd worked years to establish, she launched her own design firm. When that opportunity fell apart, she started over again.

She Designed a Life She Loved is the raw, honest memoir of a woman who refused to let circumstances define her future. Cullen takes readers through her journey from blue-collar childhood to leading a multimillion-dollar interior design firm and franchise, revealing the grit behind the glamour.

Readers will discover how to:
  • Find resilience when life refuses to follow the plan
  • Separate emotion from business decisions during high-pressure moments
  • Build a business that empowers others, not just yourself
  • Advocate for yourself in personal and professional settings
  • Redefine success when the original plan falls apart

For every woman who has wondered whether it's too late to start over, this book delivers something more valuable than advice: proof that a woman who paid for design school with airport overnight shifts can build a multimillion-dollar firm and franchise on her own terms.
