About this listen
Tired of being a people-pleaser? Prepare to reclaim your time, energy, and life.
It can be difficult to say "no" when a loved one is asking something from you, or trying to push their agenda onto you. But you don't have to live under their mercy for the rest of your life. You have the power to turn things around.
With the hacks and tools in this guidebook, you will discover how to become your true self and not water down your personality for anyone else’s benefit. Inside, you’ll discover:
- How to say "no" and mean it without feeling guilty.
- The key behaviors to watch out for in yourself so that you can avoid relationships or actions that might trigger those pesky habits again.
- Clear approaches to help you rediscover who you are while breaking free from your need to seek validation from others.
- Essential self-care practices to help you prioritize your own needs and take charge of your emotions.
- How knowing yourself and your value can help you set boundaries and act when others cross them.
- How to recover from a codependent relationship and take charge of your life again.
- How to build your confidence by surrounding yourself with the right people, practicing self-compassion, and accepting the reality of failure.
And much more!
You don't have to change who you are or stop supporting others–it’s perfectly possible to accommodate their needs while still keeping your own priorities at heart.
What's important is setting reasonable boundaries so that you don't lose yourself in the process.
Discover how you can stop being a victim of manipulation, and get ready to take charge of your life.

Being a highly sensitive person means you’re probably highly misunderstood and you may feel like you’re too empathetic for your own good. Your intuition and empathy create situations where you always put others first and say “yes” to everything, regardless of how you feel or what you need. As a result, you end up in unhealthy relationship dynamics that leave you exhausted, resentful, and stressed.

But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Fortunately, the author does not let me wallow in self-pity. A helpful test at the end of Chapter 2 helps isolate some of the behavior patterns I want to change. Chapter 2 also made me much more aware of the prices I pay due to being a people-pleaser. Ugh.
Chapter 4 turns toward solutions and helps me create new patterns that can change my perspective from someone who subjugates myself to others to someone who asserts themselves. That is an uncomfortable place for me. However, I have learned that when I set my intention to change patterns that do not serve me, I often start by feeling nervous and vulnerable.
This book is helping me to harden my path to remember that a disagreement with someone else is simply a different perspective, not an indictment of me being "less than" anyone else.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles with self-confidence and has a repeated pattern of people-pleasing.
