Done Pretending — The Course

This isn’t another “self-help” fix. It’s for the ones who are done shrinking and ready to live unfiltered.

  • Hold boundaries without guilt
  • Reclaim your energy
  • Start living on your terms, not theirs

No fluff. No apology. No more carrying what was never yours to begin with.

This Isn’t a Course. It’s a Wake-Up Call...

You don’t need another journal prompt.

You need language that protects you. Boundaries that hold. And the strength to stop bleeding out for people who never show up for you.

This isn’t about “becoming your best self.”

This is about finally feeling like yourself — before the world told you who to be.

I Don’t Teach This From a Textbook...

I'm Hayley. I was raised in fear, lived in survival mode, and had to teach myself how to feel safe again — emotionally, physically, financially, and relationally.

This course is everything I wish I had when I was falling apart quietly but still showing up for everyone else.

If you’re ready to stop apologising for needing more, I’ll walk with you.

FAQs

Do I need to be “ready”?
No. Come as you are. Bring your rage, your numbness, your overwhelm. All of it is welcome.
Will this work if I’ve already done therapy?
Yes — especially if therapy gave you awareness but no tools. This gives you both.
Is this safe for trauma survivors?
Absolutely. It’s trauma-aware, emotionally intelligent, and built with boundaries.
Do I have to finish it all at once?
Nope. You get lifetime access. Go at your own pace. Or come back when it hurts.

    Your Reset Starts Here

    Sometimes the smallest step is the one that makes life feel lighter.

    • Words when you freeze: simple scripts for tough moments.
    • Quiet the noise: quick prompts that bring clarity fast.
    • Reset on the go: grounding exercises you can use anywhere.

    These aren’t about pushing harder—they’re about giving yourself space. Space to breathe. Space to reset. Space to remember you don’t have to carry it all alone.

    Too Much Noise – The 3AM Club

    For the women whose minds race when the world goes quiet.

    • Truth at 3AM: The thoughts you can’t silence when the world is asleep.
    • Flux & Worry: The in-between spaces where nothing feels steady.
    • Safe Belonging: Words that remind you you’re not alone in the dark.

    If you’ve ever felt wide awake at 3AM — carrying too much, thinking too fast — this is for you.

      Start your way back...

      This isn’t about pushing through. It’s about finding your way back — to calm, to clarity, to yourself.

      • Step 1: Pause the spiral — simple resets that ground you in the moment.
      • Step 2: Rebuild steady boundaries — no guilt, no apology, just solid ground.
      • Step 3: Create space for you — practical tools to make life lighter, not heavier.

      This is where burnout starts to lift. Small steps. Real shifts. A way back that actually lasts.

      Let’s Find Your Turning Point

      No more pushing through. No more white-knuckling it. Here’s where it shifts:

      • Truth 1: Forcing it isn’t working — and it never will.
      • Truth 2: Motivation fades. Clarity and tools don’t.
      • Truth 3: You don’t need more hustle. You need a plan that sticks.

      This is your reset point — no fluff, no overwhelm. Just clear language, calm tools, and next steps you can use today.

      What You’ll Get Inside Done Pretending

      No fluff. A clear 6-module path + practical toolkits you’ll actually use.

      Core Modules

      Raised in Fear — Why You Feel This Way

      Make sense of survival modes (fawn, freeze, fight/flight), self-blame, and your nervous system—so change feels possible.

      Module 1

      The Rules You Learned to Survive

      Spot the “be nice, be useful, be quiet” rules, perfectionism, and over-functioning—then start unhooking them.

      Language that works under pressure: clear lines, practice responses, and consequences that don’t wobble.

      Module 3

      The Red-Flag Decoder

      Recognise love-bombing, DARVO, guilt hooks, and subtle control—plus how to respond without over-explaining.

      Module 4

      Emergency Calm Kit

      3-minute resets for spirals: breath cues, grounding prompts, and “body brakes” you can use anywhere.

      Module 5
