You don’t have to say yes to everything. You don’t have to carry everyone else’s problems. You don’t have to apologize for wanting peace.

Nope... Not Today: How to Set Guilt-Free Boundaries—The Ultimate Guide to Stop People-Pleasing is your invitation to take your life back, one confident “no” at a time. Written in a warm, conversational voice, Leah Wiseman shows you how to stop stretching yourself too thin, stop over-explaining every decision, and start honoring your time, energy, and sanity.

This isn’t a book about being perfect. It’s a book about being free. Inside, you’ll discover why guilt shows up the moment you try to say no, and how to move through it without caving. You’ll learn how to handle:

•Bosses who assume you’re always available

•Friends who drain you

•Family who guilt-trip you

•Partners who expect you to juggle it all

You’ll also learn how to protect your calendar, your energy, and even your digital life from constant demands.

Instead of fluffy theory, you’ll find practical tools and real-world strategies:

•What to say in the moment

•How to hold your ground when someone pushes back

•How to reframe “no” so it feels like self-respect instead of selfishness

Each chapter feels like sitting down with a trusted friend who’s been there, figured it out, and is handing you the playbook.

In this book, you’ll uncover how to:

•Recognize the hidden guilt traps that keep women stuck in people-pleasing cycles

•Say no without over-explaining, apologizing, or feeling selfish

•Protect your time from overload at work, home, and in relationships

•Handle boundary backlash and stand firm when people push back

•Build confidence like a muscle—stronger with every rep

•Create a lifestyle where boundaries are baked in, not tacked on

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling resentful, exhausted, or invisible, this book is for you. It’s not about becoming cold or detached—it’s about becoming honest.
