How to say "no" to say "yes" to what you care about.
Learning how to set healthy boundaries is fun with this workbook filled with tools used by the FBI hostage negotiators. How appropriate...

Hi, I'm Ela Compton
MOTHER, fierce-compassion teacher, AND caregiver-BURNOUT Whiz
I profoundly care that caregivers get their vitality and joy of living back. I believe we can reclaim our energy by alchemizing difficult emotions, reconnecting to their deep intelligence, and setting firm boundaries.
I used to share meditation practices with new moms, and then I realized that certain kinds of self-care can have the opposite effect if we are smushed by societal conditioning.
We need to create the mental space to realize what we even need! Right?
So I studied power dynamics and empathic negotiation techniques to learn the tools that changed my life.
You know who the experts on time-saving and effort-avoiding are? Men.
They learn these tricks in their childhood via osmosis and practice for life. So now I broke them down so you can learn too - and it is fun!
I want all humans raised as women to own their greatness because we ARE LOVE on this planet. And BTW, when you have your agency back, everyone around you benefits in significant ways.
You, as a mother, hold the future of this planet in your hands - literally. Own it.
This time is precious. You are precious.
Let's do it!
