Tired of saying yes when you really mean no?
If you're overwhelmed, overcommitted, and stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing and perfectionism, you're not alone. Saying yes to everything doesn't make life better-it just makes it busier, often at the expense of what truly matters.
In Ditch the Ditty, globally-recognized change experts Lindsey Godwin, Molly McGuigan, and Miriam Novotny invite you to pause, take a breath, and get honest about where your time and energy are going. With humor, relatable stories, and science-backed tools, this bold, refreshing guide helps women identify what's pulling them in all directions-and let it go, guilt-free.
So, what's a Ditty? It's anything you agree to out of politeness, obligation, or fear of letting someone down. Fueled by internalized norms to be agreeable, accommodating, and perfect, Ditties can be tasks, commitments, or even mindsets. They're the yeses that don't feel like a choice-until you look back and realize they were. While Ditties can weigh on anyone, this book is especially for women-those of us who've been shaped to prioritize others' needs over our own and often praised for doing so.

Ready to ditch what's holding you back? It's time to say yes to yourself.
