Synopsis

No matter how educated they are or how far they have climbed up the ladder, women are taught one thing over and over at every stage of their lives: when someone asks you for help, you say yes. Women are supposed to agree to take on whatever is asked of them, regardless of how busy they are. No matter how much a woman deeply desires to say no, the societal expectation is that women are helpers—taught to fix problems, show up at all times, and not let people down. They are instructed to never say no to tasks or duties asked of them, even when they are drowning in work and barely hanging on by a thread. This leads to feelings of immense failure, inauthenticity, and burnout.

Dr. Sasha Shillcutt has known this feeling, too, but now she shows women there is another way. Having coached thousands of professional women and business leaders in her classes and conferences, she knows that setting boundaries is the essential lesson that they need to learn in order to avoid burnout. In her special down-to-earth way, Sasha will show listeners how to erect fences that protect their physical and mental health while providing opportunities for joy and growth. Listeners will learn that boundaries are kind, not restrictive, and being a person with boundaries is the most empowering and peaceful way to live. They will learn to say no to others and say yes to themselves.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. While it had some helpful tips, this book is for a very specific kind of person, and I wish it had specified that in the subtitle. This is for religious women in their 40s with children living at home, a husband, and high paying jobs. The author clearly liv......more

I enjoyed this book so much! Who doesn't like a self-help book, especially one for women? As a woman in the medical profession, I AM always asked to work extra, do more, and help more, and this book has helped me establish healthy boundaries without feeling guilty. In the introduction, she discusses......more

Goodreads review by Caitlin on November 15, 2022

This book provides a helpful guide to setting and maintaining boundaries. Shillcutt obviously has personal experience with setting -- and not setting -- boundaries, and those experiences plus the experiences of countless others in her community inform the lessons in this book. I've already found mys......more
