Hold My Ducks
Stop People Pleasing, Set Boundaries, and Reclaim Your Energy
When you are carrying everyone else’s emergencies.
You are not their life jacket.
You are the friend who replies first. The one who hosts. The one who fixes it. The one everybody calls when their world tips over, and somehow nobody calls when yours does.
That is a lot of ducks to hold.
Hold My Ducks is a boundaries book for people who already know what a boundary is and have failed to enforce a single one this calendar year. No vision boards. No journaling prompts about your inner child. No suggestion that you “manifest abundance” while a coworker named Brett is currently outsourcing his entire job to your inbox.
What you get instead: the Two-Question Energy Check-In. The 30-Day Duck-Free Challenge. A working definition of why the Busy Badge is bullshit. And the sentence you can say next time someone hands you a duck that was never yours to begin with.
Funny. Specific. Aussie. Permission slip in book form.
For readers of Mel Robbins, Glennon Doyle, and anyone who has cried in a Woolies car park.
Verified Amazon reviews.
“I loved this book. This book touched on people imposing their opinions on how I should live my life. It’s a great book that I wish I had read years ago.”
“Hold My Ducks is raw, funny, and feels like a lifeline. Every page reminds you that not every crisis is your responsibility.”
“This book was like getting advice from your no-nonsense best friend who finally tells you what you need to hear.”
“Not only is the point clear and concise, but it’s also just a fun read. If you’re a people pleaser, this is a must read.”
“Boxa doesn’t coddle. He rants. By the end, you’re louder, clearer, and weirdly okay with disappointing people.”
“A few parts feel repetitive, but honestly? That might be exactly what a tired, overextended brain needs.”
