HOLD MY DUCKS

WHAT THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU DO

If you’re constantly stuck in emotional traffic,  juggling guilt, people-pleasing, and unsolicited “urgent” texts while your peace quietly disappears out the back door, this book is your emergency exit.

You’re not broken. You’re just burned out from being everyone else’s unpaid therapist, cheerleader, life coach, emotional sponge, and crisis hotline.

Hold My Ducks is your funny-but-fierce wake-up call, a chaos-rejecting, boundary-building, peace-protecting survival manual disguised as the most entertaining self-help book you’ll ever read.

This isn’t about becoming a perfect person who’s calm 24/7 and drinks green smoothies while journaling about gratitude. This is about becoming DONE, with guilt. With drama. With ducks that don’t belong to you.

INSIDE THIS BOOK, YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:

• Say “no” like a legend (and not spiral into guilt spaghetti)

• Build boundaries that actually stick, even when they push back

• Spot emotional vampires before they drain your last drop of peace

• Protect your energy like it’s your last beer at a music festival

• Return other people’s chaos using the Emotional Refund Method™

• Recover from burnout without turning into a cold, dead robot

• Stop overthinking, overgiving, and overdoing and start living

Best of all? You’ll laugh. A lot. Even while realizing, mid-chapter, that you’ve been hoarding emotional ducks like a guilt-powered zookeeper.

WHY “DUCKS”?

Let’s break it down:

• Ducks = other people’s chaos, expectations, guilt, drama, and emotional messes.

• You = the beautiful soul who keeps picking them up, cradling them, and wondering why your nervous system feels like it’s been tasered.

This book gives you language. Permission. Power. To gently, or dramatically, hand those ducks back with love, clarity, and zero apology.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

This isn’t just a motivational meme wrapped in a book cover. It’s a toolbox. It’s a mindset shift. It’s practical boundary-setting for people who hate confrontation and love a good nap.

WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK NOW

Let’s be rea, you don’t need another week of:

• Saying yes when you’re already cooked

• Waking up exhausted and wondering why

• Carrying everyone else’s emotions while yours collect dust

• Trying to be the strong one, the nice one, the good one and losing yourself in the process

You need a clear plan. A new script. And a loud internal voice saying: “Nope. Not my duck. Not today.”
