The Challenge
“I had to go through all the reasons not to be in the book,” Gabrielle says. “The time, the money, my business partner (and husband) will say no, my story’s not good enough. I had to go through the litany of why not in order to get to why to do it.”
THE SOLUTION
“She kept following up with me and she kept giving me exactly what I needed in order to get to my yes,” Gabrielle says of her experience with Mel Carr and the Six-Figure Chicks, Houston Vol 1 collaborative book. “What she gave me most was space just to think and just to really contemplate.”
"I was very deliberate in making it the beginning story," she explains. "It was deliberate because I was ready to share who I am and what I'm about."
The Results
The book became something Gabrielle never expected: a launchpad.
With a bestselling book to her name, she was contracted to speak at a women’s leadership event produced by RHP Wealth Management during International Women’s Month. Her booking fee included copies of her book for attendees, something event producers now see as a value-add rather than an afterthought. Guests walked away with a physical piece of the movement in their hands, something that ties them back to the event and to Gabrielle long after the day ends.
“I thought that I was going to co-author a book and it was going to be something that was shared to a small circle of people, my family, my friends, my immediate colleagues,” Gabrielle says. “And then I realized that there is something bigger here at play.”
The ripple effect reached beyond her own story. Gabrielle now sees her work as an executive coach through a new lens. “People do want to be heard. They want to make a difference. They want to matter.” Her book gave her a foundation to build on, and a credibility asset that opens doors before she ever walks into a room.
“I’ve gotten more grounded in who I am,” she says. “I’ve gotten more grounded in what I want to say, how I want to listen to people, and what I see as possible for them.”

The fear that almost stopped her
“I still feel intimidated pretty much every day by whatever is in front of me. Intimidation doesn’t go away, and I take the step anyway.”

“What’s the worst thing that can happen, really? Go ahead, be intimidated. It’s okay. It’s natural. And then take the action anyway if you want to.”
