Do you find it hard to say “no” to people? Do you tend to put others first? Do you feel guilty setting boundaries? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, you may be a people pleaser.

Stop People Pleasing is required reading for anyone who's tired of feeling resentful, overwhelmed, and burned out after years of being 'nice.' Brilliantly, Hailey teaches us how to confidently self-advocate without losing our empathy.
Struggle to speak up? Read this book. Feeling resentful? Read this book. Burned out? Read this book. Stop People Pleasing is the definitive guide to taking back your power and getting in the driver's seat of your own life.
Essential reading for anyone who has ever steamrolled their own needs on behalf of others'. Magee shines light on the many ways we abandon ourselves for others only to end up resentful, spent, and stuck in joyless relationships. By demystifying people-pleasing as a pattern of behaviour, Magee offers readers hope by suggesting alternative patterns that begin with recognising and honouring our own needs. A must-read for anyone who's ever said 'yes' when they wanted to say 'no.'
Stop People Pleasing is not only a robust practical guide on how to honour yourself in relationships, it also provides a fresh, empowering lens on how we can consciously create a deeper alignment between our actions, words, and our personal values. A must-read!
