Endorsements and Love Notes Received about Alpha Chick Book
Read some of the loving testimonials shared by today’s leading new thought leaders, bestselling authors and visionaries who graciously support the empowering message of Alpha Chick. I’m honored to share the love of thirty-seven Amazon 5-Star reviews from my inspired readers.
“Mal Duane has a story to tell and tells it brilliantly in her recently released book, Alpha Chick: Five Steps for Moving from Pain to Power. Hers is not a story of a struggle from rags to riches. It is a story that reveals the deep suffering each of us can experience regardless of financial status, beauty, intelligence and ability or talent. Mal had all of these even though she wasn’t always aware of them. Her suffering came from her own belief that she wasn’t “good enough,” didn’t “measure up. ” Being a successful model and becoming financially successful in real real estate didn’t prove to her that she was worthy of a loving, successful relationship and high self esteem. She spent ten years battling an alcohol addiction that she used to help her cope with her inner pain.
I recommend this book to those women (and men) who are struggling with self esteem issues, who are fighting an addiction, who are stifled by unloving relationships, who seem to be going backwards in their life rather than forward. If you aren’t satisfied with your decisions and where your life is headed, Alpha Chick could hold some important answers for you.”
-Dr. Irene Conlan, Founder of The Self Improvement Blog
“Through her own self-reconstruction and soul searching, Mal Duane shares with you her experiences of trials and tribulations in overcoming and taking control of the challenges in her own life. This book, not only enlightens you, but proves to you, how through meditation, journaling, prayer and FAITH- focus, acceptance, identify, thoughts, healing/helping, you can find your true inner strength which will allow you to reach your own ALPHA CHICK destination. Read how it is possible to embrace the challenges that life throws at you and allow your inner self and strength to deal with and conquer those challenges once you find your true inner power of your own self-love.
I highly recommend ALPHA CHICK as a truly motivational, empowering self-help book written with the purpose to teach and guide you through using Mal Duane’s, ‘Five Steps for moving from pain to power.”

“Mal Duane, in her inspiring book, Alpha Chick, takes the reader on a spell binding journey of her life. She climbs emotional hills, descends into behavioral valleys and through it all, maintains her ability to face life fairly and squarely. Her painful journey into and out of active alcoholism (both her own and her family of origin) is a story that many women will recognize as similar to their experience. Her ability to understand the recovery process and put into words a clear and available formula for recovery can be understood and accepted. As Mal describes recovery, the reader can fully understand and accept the five steps of Faith for change and healing. Her plan of moving from pain to power is a valuable guidepost and support for any woman who wants to grow and find strength, hope and power.
Mal tells the reader the story of her alcoholism in a way that demonstrates the family dynamics of addiction. The pain that addiction causes families is described, but the recovery and help that families can offer to each other is also clear and hopeful.
Each of us has known angels in our life that have impacted our choices and values. As Mal tells the story of her mother and her niece Holly, memories are stirred in each of our own lives about the importance of role models and women who are inspiring.
The recovery journey from addiction is at the same time difficult and easy. It is simple and profoundly hard to make the decision to stop drinking. Mal Duane does it with surrender and grace. She supports the philosophy that each of us grows in our own recovery as we help others face their hills and valleys and continue the path toward complete healing.”

This inspiring story is a must read for anyone finding their way in recovery.”

“Reading Alpha Chick shook me awake in ways that few other motivational books have. Mal’s 5-step approach seems both wise and practical; however, the true power of the book lies in her amazing personal story, which she tells with heart, courage, and humility. Alpha Chick has somewhat of a fairy tale ending to it, except that Mal helps us to understand that happily-ever-after has to come from within. Upon finishing the book, I found myself thinking: “So just what is your excuse, Pamela, for not stepping out and being all you know you can be”? I couldn’t come up with a single one.”
-Pam Aronson, Certified Reiki Practitioner
