The "Good Girl" Burnout Guide (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781914272769)

You're the one everyone counts on. The peacemaker. The high-achiever. The one who says "yes" before even checking her schedule, and "I'm fine" even when she's crumbling inside.

For years, you've been rewarded for being easy, accommodating, and endlessly capable. You've been conditioned to believe that your worth is tied to how much you do for others and how perfectly you hold it all together. But lately, the badge of the "Good Girl" feels heavier than it used to. The accolades don't fill the cup anymore; they just add more pressure. You aren't just tired-you are soul-deep exhausted. strategies and relatable storytelling, Byrd guides you through the messy, necessary work of unlearning the habits that no longer serve you. You will learn how to set boundaries without the crushing weight of guilt, how to silence the inner critic that equates rest with laziness, and how to distinguish between genuine kindness and fearful fawning.

Most importantly, you will learn how to rediscover who you are when you aren't trying to be everything to everyone. This isn't about becoming a "bad" person; it's about becoming a whole person. It is time to drop the impossible standards, stop apologizing for taking up space, and finally give yourself the permission to rest.

Put down the weight of the world. It was never yours to carry.
