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.

In this book, you'll learn how to:

  • Spot the Ditties in your life-especially the ones in clever disguises
  • Scale your "nos" with clarity and kindness (minus the guilt spiral)
  • Understand the dynamics that push women to prioritize others over themselves
  • Let go of perfectionism and the pressure to "do it all"
  • Replace busyness with choices that truly light you up

Whether you're a working professional, a busy mom, or simply someone ready to trade overwhelm for intention, this book will guide you back to what matters. It's time to stop living on autopilot and start building a life of clarity, purpose, and freedom-on your terms.

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