A Memoir by Alesia Briggs

Finding the Off Switch.

There Is Another Page.

The pain started when she was seventeen. Doctors told her it was in her head.

They were wrong.

What followed were years of misdiagnosis, surgeries, two heart attacks, and a body that refused to behave the way medicine said it should, all while Alesia Briggs was building a career in leadership and raising a family.

This is not a book about surviving hard things.

It is a book about what you find on the other side of them.

Raw, honest, and written for anyone who has ever wondered if they have anything left, Finding the Off Switchis the story of a woman who kept going when the math said she shouldn't, and built a life she actually chose.

No matter where you are right now.

FAQ

Questions about the book and the audit

  • What is Finding the Off Switch about?

    It is the memoir of Alesia Briggs, a senior leader who spent years building a corporate career while a body and a system of doctors kept misreading what was happening to her. Two heart attacks, years of misdiagnosis, and a career she built anyway. It is a book about what you find on the other side of hard things.

  • Where can I buy the book?

    On Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. The link is on the book page at coachbriggs.com/book. The Kindle version is the easiest way to read it on the go.

  • What is the Off Switch Self-Audit?

    A free 15-question leadership self-audit that lives on the book page. It surfaces the operating pattern you are running right now across five dimensions (Boundaries, Capacity, Recovery, Identity, and Alignment) and gives you three concrete moves to shift it. No score, no diagnosis. Takes about four minutes.

  • Is the audit a clinical or medical assessment?

    No. The Off Switch Self-Audit is a leadership operating tool, not a clinical assessment. If you are experiencing distress, please contact a licensed professional or call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, US).

  • Who is the book for?

    Leaders, managers, and professionals who have ever wondered if they have anything left, and who want a real account of how to keep going on your own terms instead of someone else's.
