Why Dana Perino Almost Quit Before Her Biggest Break

Dana Perino’s life was not going according to plan. But one moment changed her career forever.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with former White House Press Secretary and co-host of Fox News’ The Five. Dana gets real about the rollercoaster moments that defined her career, from unexpected opportunities to professional setbacks and her struggles with work-life balance.

Plus, get an inside look at her new book for young women, “I Wish Someone Had Told Me…” She discusses the things she wishes she knew in her twenties, the advice that actually helped her along the way, and how her marriage helped her succeed.
