If lately you've been thinking that you want to stop living according to everyone else's expectations and be more true to yourself, this book is for you. It will help you find confidence to set boundaries, say what matters to you and prioritise your own needs without guilt.

You’ll learn how to let go of people-pleasing so that you can make your own choices in life, and be seen, heard and valued in your relationships.

People-pleasing isn’t something we are born with; it’s something we learn in childhood to get love and approval, and to avoid rejection. But any of us can overcome those old fears and step into a more empowered version of ourselves.

Many people think about overcoming people-pleasing in a very general way. But to make real and lasting change we need a much deeper understanding of the different types of people-pleasing.

In Courage To Be You, you’ll learn about each type so you can recognise your own patterns.

This book also guides you through a journey similar to therapy—helping you explore the confusions and self-doubts that can make it hard to handle people-pleasing situations. You’ll learn how to navigate those awkward situations with confidence, whether they happen with your partner, family, friends, or with colleagues.
