About the Book
Breaking Boxes examines the role boxes—both literal and metaphorical—play in our lives. They offer structure and familiarity but can also limit and divide. We live in boxes (homes), give boxed gifts, and pack up our lives to move into new ones. Even our language reflects their presence: “Think outside the box,” “boxed into a corner,” and “check all the boxes.”
Boxes created by the expectations of family, religion, society, and work can feel confining and overwhelming. For some, identity is shaped by the box they inhabit—or the one imposed on them.
Serial real estate entrepreneur Betsy Pepine has lived in her share of boxes. From growing up with the expectation of becoming a doctor to creating a successful real estate business-one of Inc.'s 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the USA multiple times, her compelling stories navigating in, through and out of boxes will help you reexamine your life and gently challenge you to reconsider what is right in front of you.
Through her journey, you’ll learn to:
Break free from societal labels and stereotypes.
Unpack the boxes keeping you stuck.
Discover your authentic self beyond others' expectations.
Whatever box you’re in, it’s time to unpack it and live as your truest self!

What is Barbara Corcoran's involvement?
Barbara Corcoran is someone who I've admired for a very long time. We first met in 2015, and over time we've shared many stories and shot several commercials together. Watching Barbara successfully navigate life’s inevitable surprises has been incredibly inspiring to me. From rebuilding her real estate company after an unexpected divorce to making a mid-life pivot by selling her company and rebranding herself as an entrepreneurial leader on Shark Tank, Barbara continually finds ways to stay relevant in a society that often values youth. Her journey is a true testament to resilience and reinvention.
