A practical, week-by-week guide that will help you set boundaries, take the reins of your personal and professional relationships, and resist others’ attempts to “switch you back” to doormat mode.
How often do you spend the little free time you have trying to meet everyone else’s needs and making everyone happy—except yourself?
When was the last time you said “no” when every instinct in your body begged you to do so, and how many times has saying “yes” to others resulted in the denial of your own wants and needs?
Have things gotten to the stage where your health, fitness, and mental well-being are suffering, and have you reached “the point of no return?”
This is exactly what happens when you don’t set boundaries to protect yourself against burnout.
By trying to “fill too many glasses” of people around you, you end up exhausted, drained, and devoid of energy.
You can get so used to giving that you start feeling guilty when you need to ask something for yourself.
If you stop sacrificing yourself for others, will this make you a “bad” employee, parent, or partner? Will the world end, and will those you love fall apart without you?
I hate to break it to you, but they will all be just fine. This book highlights why every time you say “yes” to something or someone, you potentially say “no” to something that can make life much more meaningful and purposeful for you.
Within its pages, you will find week-by-week strategies that reveal:
- What healthy and unhealthy boundaries look like, plus the reasons why you are afraid to set them.

And so much more.
If you think that giving too much has almost become part of your identity, know that it is never too late to start asserting your wants and needs and living in a way that is more truthful to yourself.
Even if others initially resist your new boundaries, it is up to you to remain consistent and steadfast, backing your words with actions and showing that some boundaries are simply non-negotiable.
This guide is here to provide you with week-by-week steps that will transform you into a motivated, energized person who takes time for self-care and self-kindness.
