Out of Emotional Availability—Please Redirect Your Expectations Accordingly

Are you the unofficial therapist, overworked team player, unpaid family Uber driver, and the one who always ends up hosting the baby shower you didn’t even know was happening? Congratulations! You, my friend, need this book more than your boss needs “just one more quick favor.”

Welcome to Setting Boundaries, the hilariously relatable, science-backed, real-talk guide to saying no without guilt—and without needing a therapist on speed dial (though no judgment if you have one).

Sloane Hart, professional people-pleaser turned boundary badie, takes you on a witty, eye-opening journey through the chaos of modern life where everyone (yes, even Janet from HR) seems to think your time, energy, and emotional bandwidth are community property.

This is not your typical “setting boundaries at work” handbook. This is the out-of-office reply for your soul.

Inside You’ll Learn:

✅ How to say no at work without breaking out in a guilt rash

✅ How to stop being your adult children’s on-call emotional support line

✅ Why “just helping out” at the PTA bake sale might be ruining your life

✅ How to stop absorbing other people’s moods like an emotional ShamWow

✅ What to do when your mother’s love language is “dropping by unannounced with unsolicited advice”

From dealing with needy coworkers to drawing the line with boundary-bulldozing in-laws, this book has your back—whether you’re setting boundaries with your boss, your kids, your partner, or your overstepping neighbor who thinks your backyard is his dog’s bathroom.

Who This Book is For:

• The burnout-prone mom who can’t remember the last time she showered without a toddler watching

• The overwhelmed employee who’s googling “setting boundaries at work book” during a Zoom meeting

• The emotionally drained daughter trapped in guilt loops with her aging but still nosy parents

• The high-achieving empath who can feel a stranger’s emotional distress from across the Trader Joe’s

• Anyone who thinks “boundaries” sounds like a trendy throw pillow, not a survival skill

Whether you’re setting boundaries with your kids, your boss, or your boundary-challenged group chat that pings you 47 times a day, this book helps you detangle from obligation and reclaim your peace—without turning into a jerk.

Because guess what? Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s self-preservation. It’s the difference between being a generous friend and becoming a doormat with “WELCOME” tattooed on your soul.
