You're exhausted. Not because you're doing anything wrong — but because you're doing everything for everyone else.

You said yes to the work project you didn't have capacity for. Yes to organizing the event no one else volunteered for. Yes to the plans you were dreading. Yes, yes, yes — and somewhere in the middle of all that yes, you lost track of what you actually want.

"I'm so busy, but I just don't know how to say no."

Sound familiar? You're not alone. And more importantly — you're not broken. People-pleasing isn't a character flaw. It's a learned habit. One you picked up because it worked. For a while.

Until it didn't.

The good news? What's learned can be unlearned. And that's exactly what this course is for.

Sound like your average Tuesday?

You say yes before you've even thought about it — and feel the regret seconds later
You apologize and over-explain every time you try to say no
You feel responsible for other people's moods and emotions — even when it has nothing to do with you
You're the go-to person at work and at home — and you're running on empty
You help people with a smile on your face and resentment in your chest
You go to bed tired but wired — replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing
You've tried to change this before. You've read the books. You still can't make it stick.

Here's what no one tells you: the problem isn't that you're too nice. The problem is that saying yes has become automatic — and you haven't had the right tools to interrupt it.

Until now.

Why I created this course

I know what it's like to spend years over-functioning, over-committing, and quietly resenting it all. Saying yes to keep the peace. Saying yes to be seen as dependable. Saying yes until I'd forgotten what my own preferences even were.

I also know what's possible when you stop.

I'm Michelle Gauthier — a Martha Beck-certified life coach with 8+ years of experience helping high-achieving women go from overwhelmed and stretched thin to calm, clear, and in control of their lives. My podcast, Overwhelmed Working Woman, is in the top 1.5% globally. My clients give me a 9.9/10 rating. And 100% of them would recommend coaching to a friend.

But more than my credentials — I've lived this. I've coached hundreds of women through exactly what you're experiencing. And I built No More People-Pleasing because I kept seeing the same thing: smart, capable women who knew they needed to change but didn't have a clear, practical path to get there.

This course is that path.

Here's the truth about people-pleasing

It's not about your schedule. It's not about your boss, your family, or how many things are on your plate.

People-pleasing is a pattern of putting other people's wants and approval ahead of your own — automatically — to avoid discomfort like rejection, guilt, or conflict.

The reason it's so hard to stop isn't willpower. It's that you've never had a clear process for interrupting it in the moment. That's what changes here.

"You can be ambitious and grounded at the same time. You can be kind and say no. You can stop people-pleasing — without becoming a different person."

What's inside

Everything included in
No More People-Pleasing

Six focused modules that take you from awareness to action — with a practical workbook and real tools you can use for life.

Step 1: Pause

Understanding People-Pleasing

Learn what people-pleasing actually is — and what it isn't. Bust the four biggest myths (yes, it's not actually "being nice"). Walk away with a clear picture of how this pattern has been showing up in your life — without judgment.

Step 1: Pause

Map Your Triggers and Costs

Identify the who, what, when, where, and why of your people-pleasing. Build your personal People-Pleasing Profile — so you can recognize the pattern in real time instead of only in hindsight. Calculate the real cost of all those automatic yeses.

Step 2: Pivot

How to Decide — The Love and Fit Test

Learn a simple two-question framework for deciding what deserves your yes and what doesn't. Stop making decisions from guilt and reflex. Start making them from calm clarity. This one tool changes everything.

Step 2: Pivot

Say No with Confidence

The four-step process for saying no without lying, over-explaining, or apologizing. Plus 45 ready-to-use scripts for every situation — at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Keep them in your phone. Use them today.

Step 3: Protect

The To-Don't List

Pre-decide your no's before anyone even asks. The To-Don't List is your personal set of rules that protect your time, energy, and peace — so you're not having to fight the same battles over and over again.

Step 3: Protect

How to Create a Boundary

Learn the simple three-step process for setting boundaries that actually stick — the Rule, the Consequence, and the Communication. Create your first real boundary in this module, with scripts for both work and home.

Also included:

A full companion workbook with every tool, worksheet, and script from the course — including the People-Pleasing Inventory, Love and Fit Test, To-Don't List template, Boundary Action Plan, and 45 ready-to-use "no" scripts.

Real women. Real results.

"She taught me to say 'no' to things in my business so that I can say 'yes' to my kids. She taught me to plan and organize, and helped my life and home have less clutter. She is an amazing life coach and person."

— Helen

"I used to get stuck in a loop of negative self-talk and overwhelm which was paralyzing. Thanks to Michelle's practical tools and fresh perspective, I now have the confidence and clarity I need to handle whatever life throws at me."

— Carrie

"Taking the plunge has been one of the very best decisions I've ever made. I feel so good about not only the resulting personal growth, but having chosen to invest in myself in the first place. I truly believe her influence will resonate throughout the rest of my life."

— Kari

The Do-the-Work Guarantee

I'm confident this course will change how you think, make decisions, and show up in your relationships — because I've seen it work, again and again.

If you complete every module, do the workbook exercises, and genuinely try the tools in real life — and still don't feel like it was worth it — reach out and I'll make it right with a full refund.

You have nothing to lose. Except the habit of saying yes when you mean no.

Questions? Good ones.

I've tried to stop people-pleasing before. Why will this be different?

Most attempts to stop people-pleasing focus on willpower — just forcing yourself to say no. That works for about five minutes. What actually creates lasting change is understanding your specific triggers, learning a clear decision-making process, and practicing with real scripts you can use in real conversations. That's exactly what this course gives you. It's not motivation. It's a method.

How much time does this take?

The course is self-paced, so you move at whatever speed works for your life. Most people complete it over one to two weeks. The lessons are focused and practical — no fluff, no filler. You can go through a module in a lunch break and apply what you learned the same afternoon.

I'm not sure I'm a "people-pleaser." Is this still for me?

If you regularly say yes when you don't want to, feel guilty when you say no, over-explain your decisions, or feel responsible for other people's emotions — this course is for you. You don't have to fully identify with the label to benefit from the tools.

Is $97 really worth it?

Think about the last time you said yes to something you didn't want to do. What did it cost you — in time, energy, resentment, sleep? Now multiply that by every week of the year. The tools in this course are ones you'll use for the rest of your life. $97 is a one-time investment in getting them. That math works.

Will this make me seem selfish or difficult?

The opposite, actually. When you stop saying yes out of guilt and start saying yes from genuine willingness — people around you experience you as more present, more honest, and more enjoyable to be around. The person who has boundaries and means what she says is the person people trust.

I've never done coaching before. Is this accessible for me?

Absolutely. This course is designed to be practical and straightforward — no coaching background or prior experience required. Michelle explains every concept clearly, grounds everything in real-life examples, and gives you tools you can use immediately. Most of her clients are working with a coach for the very first time.

What if I want more support after the course?

Michelle offers 1:1 private coaching for women who want personalized, high-touch support over six months. The course is a great way to experience her approach and see if private coaching is the right next step for you. You can book a free consultation at michellegauthier.com/FreeHour anytime.

You've been saying yes
long enough. This is your no.

Imagine waking up calm instead of anxious. Saying no without guilt and meaning it. Saying yes only when it truly feels right.

That's where we're headed — and it starts the moment you enroll.
