In a professional culture that rewards performance while punishing humanity, certified confidence coach, author, and anti-trafficking activist Deondriea Cantrice is asking a question many high achievers are afraid to voice: What if winning at work is costing us ourselves?
Her forthcoming book, Overqualified. Overworked. Overlooked: How to Win Without Losing Yourself, scheduled for release in February 2026, confronts the silent crisis facing professionals who appear successful on paper yet feel depleted, unseen, and disconnected internally. The book is a bold examination of what happens when ambition is weaponized, confidence is slowly eroded, and excellence becomes a liability rather than a shield.

New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

Cantrice, known for her incisive commentary on leadership, identity, and self-trust, brings a sharp, human lens to the realities many professionals normalize but rarely name.
Drawing from her coaching practice, lived experience, and advocacy work, she exposes the unspoken cost of being perpetually capable-and the emotional and mental toll of carrying systems that were never designed to carry you back.
“Being overqualified doesn’t protect you,” Cantrice asserts. “It often makes you exploitable. And being overworked doesn’t mean you’re valued-it usually means you’re convenient. This book is for the people who’ve done everything right and still feel like they’re overlooked.”
Beyond her work as an author and coach, Cantrice is a committed anti-trafficking activist whose advocacy centers on empowerment, awareness, and systemic accountability. Her leadership extends into community service as an active member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., where scholarship, service, and social justice intersect-values that deeply inform her work and worldview.
Through 1:1 coaching, group programs, and online courses, Cantrice supports individuals who are not looking for surface-level motivation but for restoration professionals ready to rebuild confidence that has been chipped away by chronic overextension, silence, and survival-mode success.
Overqualified. Overworked. Overlooked. does not offer hustle mantras or performative positivity. Instead, it challenges readers to redefine what winning actually means and to choose self-trust over self-abandonment.
This release positions Cantrice as a vital voice in the evolving conversation around leadership, workplace culture, and confidence-one that refuses to separate achievement from wholeness.
