Done Being Last: Stop Shrinking, Start Choosing Yourself Without the Guilt

By Ruthanne Mckee

When did you last do something just because you wanted to?Not because someone needed you to. Not because it was the responsible thing. Just because it made you happy.If that answer didn't come easy - this book is for you.Ruthanne Mckee spent two decades being everything to everybody. Good wife. Good mother. Good daughter. Good employee. She gave and gave and called it love - until the day she realized she wasn't being generous. She was being afraid.Done Being Last is the book she needed and couldn't find. It's a warm, honest, no-nonsense guide for women who are exhausted from putting everyone else first - and ready to find out what happens when they stop.Inside, you'll discover: - Why the guilt you feel for taking care of yourself isn't your conscience - it's conditioning- How to say no - cleanly, kindly, and without a ten-minute apology afterward- The real meaning of "selfish" - and why it probably doesn't mean what you think it means- How to identify the relationships that drain you - and what to actually do about them- Why choosing yourself makes you a better mother, partner, and friend - not a worse one- Practical, unglamorous steps to build a life that actually has you in itThis isn't a book about bubble baths and vision boards. It's about the hard, necessary work of deciding - maybe for the first time in a long time - that you matter too.Written in a warm, plain-spoken Southern voice that feels like your wisest friend telling you the truth over coffee, Done Being Last is the permission slip you've been waiting for - and the road map to get there.If you've ever felt invisible in your own life - this book was written for you.
