Your Journey to a Sharper, Calmer, More Resilient Mind Starts Here

You’ve been trying to keep everyone happy. You’ve been working hard, overachieving, and still feeling like… it’s not enough. You’re tired of:

  • Where you silence yourself (when you have something important to say)
  • What drains you (and why the heck you tolerate it)
  • How to make decisions without your mind thinking about the 100 ways it can go catastrophically wrong
  • What self-respect actually looks like in your life (it's awesome, btw)

You’re ready for a different way.

Hiya! I’m Dr Katherine Iscoe.

We’ve all bought the self-help book we swear we’ll read one weekend... herbal tea in hand, ready to “work on ourselves.

But somehow, those books end up gathering dust.

I didn’t want to write another one of those. This isn’t a 300-page lecture filled with buzzwords and “you got this” quotes.

It’s a short, story-filled, laugh-out-loud book you’ll actually finish, and enjoy reading.

— Me (Katherine)

Take a peek inside...

"You already know what’s best for you. This book just helps you see it.”

Dr Katherine xoxo

Is this book for you?

You don't have a lot of time to read

You have a pile of books on your read list, but can't seem to start another 300 page 'be a better human' book. This one’s short enough to actually finish - you can pick up when you need it and put down when you don’t.

You're looking for unfiltered stories

Because you prefer real stories over recycled advice. You’d rather read about an emotional breakdown than how to stick to a green smoothie morning routine.

You're ready to take a good look at yourself

Because you’re tired of books that tell you to “just love yourself” [eye roll]. You want honesty, not hype, and insights that actually challenge you, and make you uncomfortable (in the best way).

What people are saying

"Overthinking, overdoing and overgiving feel harmless because they look like kindness, responsibility, and being 'the reliable one'."

But every time you say “yes” when your body is screaming “no,” it’s like handing someone your bank card and letting them withdraw from your life. Time. Energy. Peace.

Each moment feels small, so you don’t notice the balance dropping. Until one day you’re exhausted, resentful, and wondering how everyone else feels lighter while you’re running on empty.

That’s the real cost: becoming an emotional ATM for everyone else (and never charging interest)."

Why this book exists

This isn’t your typical self-help book. It’s a no-BS guide for ambitious women who feel pressured to have it all together but secretly feel one step behind.

Written by Dr. Katherine Iscoe, a former high-achieving people-pleaser, this audio playbook is packed with raw honesty, wit, and compassion. From battling depression and career setbacks to relationship heartbreaks, she knows firsthand what it’s like to chase approval, and how hollow that victory feels.

Through deeply relatable stories and hard-earned lessons, you’ll learn how the relentless pursuit of “happiness” and everyone else’s approval keeps you stuck, and how to finally stop.

It's like a trusted friend teaching you as you move through your day. No long training sessions. No falling behind. Just practical, life-changing insights you can apply immediately.

What makes this book different

This isn’t a manual with steps. It’s not about doing what someone else tells you. After working with hundreds of women, I know one thing for certain: you already know what to do to build more self-respect. The real question is:

Why don’t we do the things we know will move the needle?
Why do we say “everything’s okay” when it’s far from okay?
Why do we wait for the “right time” to make ourselves a priority?
Why do we downplay our worth when we know we deserve more?

You won’t find the answers in a manual. You find them when you stop, reflect, and get radically honest with yourself, and maybe even argue with yourself a little. Because that’s where real change begins. It’s about asking questions that challenge your assumptions, reveal patterns in your thinking and help you discover what you actually want, need, and deserve

Because self-respect starts with self-discovery, and no one else can do that for you other than you.

Why self-respect matters

Self-respect isn’t about being fearless, it’s about fearing less. Discomfort always comes before growth, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. If you’re ready to stop overthinking, start respecting yourself, and finally achieve more, this is your starting line.

Read this book if you want to:

  • Stop overthinking and trusting yourself again
  • Gain clarity on what matters most to you
  • Build confidence and boundaries without becoming arrogant or cold
  • Achieve more, faster — starting from inside your own mind
