About this listen
This isn’t a book about being more assertive. It’s about coming home to yourself.
You don’t need a script.
You don’t need permission to trust yourself.
You already have the right to say what you feel — and to stand by it.
Drawing from personal experience and years of daily meditation practice, Robert G. Schneider, MS, LCPC-C, offers a grounded, compassionate path for rebuilding your boundaries without guilt. In these pages, you’ll learn how to:
• Say no without overexplaining
• Recognize where you’re performing instead of connecting
• Hold your ground when someone pushes back
• Spot guilt-trips dressed up as concern
• Reclaim energy, clarity, time, and space for yourself
This is not a book about becoming harder or colder. It’s about becoming more honest, more whole, and more free — even when it’s awkward, even when it’s hard, especially when it matters.
If you've ever felt resentful, exhausted, or quietly angry after putting everyone else first, this book will show you a different way: one that doesn't require anyone else's permission.
