Calling all my fellow recovering people pleasers – Amy Wilson, host of the What Fresh Hell podcast, is here this week to discuss her new book of essays from Zibby Books, which explores how women and mothers are conditioned to be “happy to help” and how we might try to do things a bit differently.
“Wilson’s refreshing and hilarious essays illustrate the ridiculous nature of the advice meant to fix women and the unfair emotional labor expectations we place on women. Happy to Help offers a new narrative that inspires women to hold true boundaries and value their time as diamonds. A must-read!”
-Eve Rodsky, author of Fair Play
