HAVE YOU HEARD THE BUZZ?

"This book is gold for anyone who is trying to break the cycle of pleasing and find their power. Which is pretty much everyone in one way or another. There is truly no one more qualified to speak on the nuance of people pleasing and its effects on our relationships and internal well-being than Hailey Magee."

— JILLIAN TURECKI, relationship coach, teacher, and host of the podcast “Jillian On Love”

"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 behavior, Magee offers readers hope by suggesting alternative patterns that begin with recognizing and honoring our own needs. A must-read for anyone who's ever said ‘yes’ when they wanted to say ‘no.⁠’”

— CHRISTIE TATE, AUTHOR OF NYTimes Bestseller GROUP and B.F.F.
