The people-Pleaser's Recovery Plan

The People-Pleaser's Recovery Plan is a practical, no-fluff guide to help you stop overcommitting, set real boundaries, and reclaim the life you've been giving away in tiny pieces. If you're the reliable one—the helper, the fixer, the "sure, I can do it" person—this book shows you how to break the cycle without burning bridges. You'll learn the brain-body reasons people-pleasing feels "safer" than disappointing others—and how to retrain that reflex. Then you'll get step-by-step tools to say no (without panic), protect your time, and make choices based on values, not guilt. Inside, you'll learn to: Spot the difference between kindness and fear-based compliance. Use ready-to-go scripts for saying no, rescoping, and pushing back gracefully. Build boundaries that stick when people test them—at work, with friends, and at home. Replace guilt with a clear decision filter: Does this align with my values and bandwidth? Rediscover what you actually want—and design your calendar around it. This is not about becoming selfish. It's about becoming sovereign. By the end, you'll have a repeatable system for protecting your time, energy, and relationships—so "yes" means yes, and your life finally feels like yours. Change one habit at a time. Start saying yes to yourself—and watch everything else fall into place.
