Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors: Shattering Limiting Beliefs and Toxic Behaviors to Uncover Infinite Possibilities


Purchase options and add-ons

Have you ever struggled with impostor syndrome, perfectionism, fear, or burnout?

Success and fulfillment have always been the goal, but you find yourself stuck, making it impossible to move forward.

Women face unprecedented challenges in the workplace and find themselves staring up at the glass ceiling. But what if it wasn’t the glass ceiling that was holding you back . . . but rather your own “sticky floors”—those limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors that are within your control?

Erica is a sticky floor survivor. As a high-achieving ceiling breaker and C-level leader, she masked her struggles to everyone around her—even herself. From feelings of being an impostor to using wine to cope with burnout, it wasn’t until she was faced with the shocking reality that she could lose everything that she stared down her deeply held beliefs about being a “perfect” wife, mom, and executive. Ultimately, Erica was able to snap out of her sticky floors and find fulfillment, and uses her stories to help other women navigate their paths to success.

“As a successful woman who’s faced her own share of limiting beliefs, I understand the impact of ‘sticky floors.’ Erica Rooney’s four-step science-backed SNAP Method is a practical and powerful way to transform your mindset so that you create the life you want.” —Mel Robbins, CEO of 143 Studios, New York Times bestselling author, and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

“With raw authenticity,
Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors explores the unseen barriers that hold women back, offering a road map for personal growth. Erica’s story is a rallying cry for every woman seeking to conquer self-doubt and redefine success on her own terms.” —Tricia Montalvo Timm, author of Embrace the Power of You: Owning Your Identity at Work

Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors digs into the unseen barriers that hold women back and often aren’t talked about, shedding light and giving hope to all the women who have stayed small and quiet for far too long. If you want to conquer self-doubt and redefine success, this is it!” —Kelsey Pumel Woods, domestic violence survivor and advocate, TikTok star, and entrepreneur

A must-read for the ambitious.”

“We talk a lot about glass ceilings. But we don’t talk nearly enough about sticky floors. I love how Erica shifts our focus, energy, and power to the people, places, and programs that propel us forward. Through her proven method, you will notice the glimmers of the sticky floors exponentially more than the traumas involved in the broken glass ceilings. And that leads to sustainable, transformation change. That is how we hype women.”
