Breaking the Rules

From “is this it?” to wide awake and dangerous.

That restless feeling.
The anger you’re not supposed to have.
The itch to blow it all up and start again.

That’s not a midlife crisis.
That’s you, waking up.

You followed the rules.
Be nice.
Be grateful.
Don’t rock the boat.
Act your age.
Keep the peace, even when it costs you yours.

Nobody told you the rules were made up.
Or that you were allowed to say no to them.

Well, I’m telling you now.

Outgrow the life you built.
Change your mind.
Book the trip.
Quit the thing.
Say the unsayable.
Take up space.

Imagine waking up excited again.
Doing the thing you’ve been talking about for years.
Being so busy living your life you forget to ask
what anyone else thinks of it.

You’re not too old.
You’re not too much.
You’ve never been more ready.

This is your revolution.
Your rules. Your life. Starting now.

Break the first rule

Rule number one was “be nice.” My free guide, How to Say NO, shows you how to break it without the guilt.

This is the shift we make together. Every tool on this page moves you from the left to the right.

Right now you’re saying…

  • “Is this it?”
  • “I’m too old to start over.”
  • “What would people say?”
  • “Maybe one day.”
  • “I should be grateful.”
  • “I don’t even know what I want.”

Soon you’ll be saying…

  • “I booked it.”
  • “I changed my mind.”
  • “Watch me.”
  • “I quit the thing.”
  • “I'm so excited.”
  • “Why did I wait so long?”
