“Ditch the Ditty is the resource that I needed to help me come to realization that saying “yes” is easy. Saying “no” with confidence, is what creates opportunity and space for us to say “yes” to the things that are aligned with my value and goals, and this takes intentional work. Ditch the Ditty is a fun and engaging resource that helps the people pleaser in all of us think more intentionally before we pick up yet another “Ditty”.
— Dr. Nicole Morris, Professor, Mother, Daughter
People are already talking!
“Any woman who has ever found herself trapped in a decision vortex in which she is tortured by the choice to say no, while knowing that saying no is what she most wants to do, will find this work to be THE roadmap she has always needed. . . None of us have time to waste any longer holding "ditty bags" that do not move our goals, dreams and wellbeing forward. And now we know how to let them go...and in so doing...we, thank the heavens, finally, protect what matters most.”
