Chasing Enough Live

Chasing Enough Live: EdmontonAn afternoon tea on voice, boldness, and backing yourself

Nobody can copy you. So why are you still editing yourself down?

A year ago, Chasing Enough was a manuscript and a lot of nerve. Since then it has been an Amazon bestseller during Canadian launch week in Leadership & Motivation, with features in Forbes and Entrepreneur and a keynote calendar that didn’t exist twelve months ago. Almost all of it came down to one decision: stop shrinking.

Join author and leadership coach Mandy Balak for an afternoon tea at Bloom & Brew South, the 5th stop on the Chasing Enough tour. This is the honest debrief of her year of boldness. You’ll hear how the book got written and published, what it took to get into the rooms, the edges she had to get past to write it, and what it’s like to live the thing you wrote about.

Then it turns to you. Your voice. What matters to you. The three words that anchor how you lead when nobody is handing you a map.

You’ll leave with

More trust in your own read on things, and less need to borrow certainty from whoever sounds loudest

Your three leadership anchor words, written down and tested out loud

One next step you’re confident enough to take this month

A practical way to want more and have it feel lighter

The afternoon

Fireside chat. Mandy in conversation with Emilie Iggiotti, Edmonton photographer and personal branding expert, on what it takes to be seen as who you are, on camera and in business.

Reading and the bold year. Mandy reads from Chasing Enough and walks through the year that followed: what she said yes to, what she stopped doing, and what it cost.

Facilitated workshop. Your anchors. Guided, hands-on, and written in your own words.

Connection. Small-group conversation with women in Edmonton building something new. Come alone. You won’t leave that way.

Afternoon tea. Light bites, sweet treats, and non-alcoholic libations.

Every ticket includes a signed first-edition copy of Chasing Enough, the author-narrated audiobook (in your inbox before the event), and afternoon tea.

This room is for

The founder whose name is the brand, who still second-guesses how much of herself to show

The leader stepping into a bigger role who wants to lead like herself, not like the last person who held the title

The woman building with no blueprint who needs to trust her own judgment more than the noise

The one whose business works and whose voice is still on mute

The woman everyone calls confident, who knows how much editing happens before she speaks

About the book

Chasing Enough: The High Achiever’s Guide to Sustainable Success takes apart the idea that your worth is earned through output. It offers a different model: high performance that lasts, without abandoning yourself to get it. Mandy built three companies before she understood capacity, and at one point held it all together while getting her father out of a Colombian prison. That reckoning became the Well-Resourced Method, now used by leaders across North America.

Endorsed by Gay Hendricks (The Big Leap), Jon Gordon (The Energy Bus), Mark Groves (Create the Love), bestselling authors Janne Robinson and Allie Michelle, and Pro Bowl NFL tight end Darren Waller.
