An Overachiever’s Guide to Breaking the Rules
Let's face it. You've been surrounded by messages your entire life telling you to work harder, produce more, and ALWAYS do your best.
Over time, those messages become rules you follow, often without knowing it. They push you to be productive all the time. They make you believe everything will fall apart if you slow down. They tell you to never disappoint anyone. They make you feel guilty for saying no.
It's time to stop. It's time to break the rules.
An Overachiever’s Guide To Breaking The Rules invites you to get off the hamster wheel of constant performing, take a breath, and rediscover your truth. This is more than a personal development book. It's an inward journey to free yourself from the weight of perfection and start living your truth.
