Synopsis

Women can have it all, but do we really want it? This audiobook shows women how to escape the trap of toxic productivity, build boundaries, avoid burnout, and live with joy.We have been conditioned into believing our value is in what we do rather than who we are. Do you find yourself saying "yes" because you were never taught how to say "no"? Are you working all hours of the day, but not feeling good about your achievements amplifying your perceived mistakes or weaknesses? Many of us believe that to be our best selves we should do more, but the result is often stress, burnout, and disillusionment. This audiobook offers a healing hand to help you step out of the same old patterns of using success or overworking as a source of self-validation.For women, work doesn't stop in the workplace. There is a huge load at home that still falls to women-whether looking after children, caring for aging parents, or simply taking the reins of running the household. This is an audiobook for women who work too much. It is for women who are ready to hear the wake-up call coming from within: coming from their frazzled nervous system, from that sense of underlying anxiety they have learnt to normalize over the years, and from an inner knowing that-just maybe-it doesn't have to be this way.Women Who Work Too Much will help you to: become your own advocate feel at home with who you already are and in your own skin know what needs to be done, rather than trying to do it allThis audiobook is a manifesto for change and a call to inaction.Women Who Work Too Much will support you to establish healthier boundaries, stop over-committing, and move into a feeling of safety so that you can thrive, prosper, and flourish.

Goodreads review by Bethan on January 13, 2024

I desperately wanted this to be good, but unfortunately it failed to go any deeper than surface level on capitalist productivity culture or how it intersects with misogyny. It made the occasional interesting point, but at most parts it felt like I was begging for it to dive deeper. If you've spent an......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on February 14, 2024

I received my proof copy last week and I read it in two sittings. The introduction was so moving, I felt it in my core. I had never considered how our conditioning impacts our bodies and how we feel. I felt seen throughout the book especially as a Black woman. The nervous system pieces gave me a new......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on May 22, 2024

I could not finish this book. This is not a book about women who work too much (because they feel compelled to in order to be taken seriously, be treated somewhat fairly, etc.) and learning self care. This book is about a woman's opinion of how our white, patriarchal society has contributed to the h......more

Goodreads review by Abigail on April 19, 2025

This is by far one of the most moving and change-making books I’ve ever read. It’s not often a self-help book so effortlessly walks the line between head and heart, earth and sky, legend and fact, soul and logic. I identified with the themes of toxic positivity way more than I wanted to but neverthe......more
