"An insightful guide to navigating life's complexities.”
—Melody Beattie, bestselling author of Codependent No More, The
Language of Letting Go.
“Stop Giving It Away is a crucial read for women suffering from an
all-too-common problem: they take care of everyone in their lives
except themselves. This personal and detailed book will inspire you
to take your life back, one step at a time.”
—Dr. Andrea Bonior, Ph.D., author of The Friendship Fix
“Since the 1970s, women’s roles and choices have expanded
exponentially, yet our historical training in self-sacrifice
remains intact, undermining all our gains. In this
straight-talking, realistic, compassionate, and deeply wise book,
Cherilynn Veland nails the reasons behind our habit of “giving it
away”—especially the often-ignored issue of how society and culture
have shaped us to do so—and offers practical strategies for
overcoming your own personal pull toward unhealthy
self-sacrifice.”
—Stephanie Golden, author of Slaying the Mermaid: Women and the
Culture of Sacrifice
