Start the school year with less resentment and more calm. This 90-minute workshop will show you how to stop over-committing and start choosing you.

Before Barb’s program, I was exhausted and burned out. Now I have so much more energy because I only participate in things that truly bring me joy!

What You'll Learn
You'll leave this workshop with:
✅ 10 real-world boundary scripts to use with colleagues, school staff, friends, and family
✅ A clear plan to protect your time, energy, and mental health this fall
✅ Language to say “no” without guilt
✅ Insight on why setting limits feels so hard—and how to do it anyway
What We’ll Do Together in the Workshop
In this 90-minute, interactive workshop, you’ll get both practical tools and real-time coaching to help you show up differently this fall—without the resentment, burnout, or guilt.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- 🧠 Why boundaries feel hard (especially for people-pleasers, helpers, and high achievers)
- 🚫 How to say no—without over-explaining or second-guessing yourself
- 🧾 Real-life school-year scenarios and exactly what to say when you need to decline, delay, or redirect
- 💬 Live script practice and coaching so you can find your own language (and courage)
- ✨ Reflection prompts to help you leave with a clear, personalized boundaries plan
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone who gets overwhelmed every September, this workshop will help you reset your boundaries—before the school-year chaos takes over.

❤️ Real Words from Past Clients
“Since coaching with Barb, life has gotten so much easier.”
“I remember starting on our first call and feeling like a failure in every part of my life that matters - as a wife, mom and business owner. Now I feel more empowered to speak my mind and voice my preferences. I don’t have simmering resentment and life looks and feels brighter overall.”
— Parent & International Business Owner
“I was exhausted and burned out. Now I have energy and peace.”
“Before Barb’s program, I was just running from one thing to another and finding no joy. I didn’t know how to say no. Now I only participate in things that bring me joy. My mind is quieter. I feel like I’m building genuine relationships for the first time ever.”
— Helping Professional
“I’m finally living life on my own terms.”
“I’ve been living on my own for the first time at age 62. After decades of people-pleasing and surviving trauma, Barb helped me shift the focus from what others think to what I think. I’m at peace, even when things are hard. I’m so grateful I found her.”
— Former People-Pleaser
“Barb helped me go from enmeshed to empowered.”
“I was deeply entangled with my daughter and husband. I couldn’t separate their wellbeing from mine. Barb helped me rediscover my identity, establish boundaries at work, and prioritize my happiness. My recovery has deepened. This work changed everything.”
— Parent and Entrepreneur
