Synopsis: Winner of the National Indie Excellence Book Award for Women’s Issues in 2015, Stop Giving It Away untangles what binds so many women to other people’s needs, wants and expectations. Cherilynn Veland, a social worker, counselor and coach, builds a case for what women can do to make changes that will help them live more fulfilling personal and professional lives. Stop Giving It Away illustrates real-life stories of women who―to the detriment of their relationships and personal happiness―have given away too much at home and at work. The book offers a toolkit for recognizing and analyzing unhealthy behaviors, developing healthy relationship strategies, and setting good personal boundaries. Accessible, entertaining, and illuminating, Stop Giving It Away is a book for every woman who tends to put everyone else first―and herself last.
