About this listen

If you’re exhausted from being everyone’s Plan A, emotional support hotline, unpaid therapist, and the one who always “just gets it done”—this book is for you.

Stop Being So Damn Available is a smart, funny, gloriously rebellious self-help guide for women (and recovering people-pleasers) done living on everyone else’s terms. It’s not about becoming cold—it’s about becoming clear. Not about disappearing—but choosing when to show up, and when to sit down.

Inside, you’ll learn how to stop people pleasing:

  • Set clear, guilt-free boundaries—and stick to them.
  • Say no with confidence—without spiraling into apologies.
  • Break the cycle of burnout—stop being everyone's emotional first responder.
  • Ditch the guilt that keeps you overcommitted.
  • Stop second-guessing your decisions—gain clarity and calm.
  • Feel respected, not taken for granted—because when you value your time, others do too.
  • Take up space without apology—make confidence your new default.

Plus, uncover powerful tools: 1 boundary that transforms all your relationships. 2 guilt-shattering phrases for when people push back. 3 mindset shifts to reclaim your space and stop apologizing for existing.

Whether you're deep in burnout, navigating friendship fatigue, managing family demands, or simply ready to reclaim your peace, this book is your permission slip to stop pleasing everyone else and start pleasing yourself.

This isn’t just another self-help cliché—it’s your reset guide: funny, honest, practical, and real. You don’t need another planner, productivity hack, or gold star for exhaustion. You need boundaries. With backbone.

Say it with me: “I’m not available.” And mean it.

The book explores the reality of someone who is always available to others, whether it is in their best interest or it is costing them more than necessary. The topics are very well-thought-out within the chapters, but there was some overemphasis on certain things. The narrator did a great job making it articulate and clear. Enjoyable listen.

So True...
