🎁 This book includes 2 printable companion resources designed to help you navigate anxious thoughts and build the secure, loving connections you deserve.
😔 Do You Lie Awake Replaying Every Word, Terrified You’ve Ruined Everything?
You’re exhausted from dissecting every text message, terrified you’re too much—or not enough. Part of you longs for closeness, yet your mind spins endless “what ifs” that sabotage the very intimacy you crave. You wonder why your relationships always feel like a battlefield between your heart and your racing thoughts.
You’re not dramatic, broken, or hopeless. You’re an overthinker whose brilliant mind has turned against itself in love—and it’s costing you peace, connection, and your sense of worth. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
As the founder of Sage Lifestyle Press—and a woman who’s rebuilt her life after profound personal battles—Jeanne Phares understands the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-protection. She’s helped thousands reclaim their peace, self-trust, and deeper bonds in relationships that once felt impossible.

I received a free copy of this book for an exchange for an honest review.
This book was so helpful to me. After getting out of a 15 year marriage and dating again, there's been a lot of anxiety and over thinking. This book did make me realize my thoughts are valid but also in a way to "chill out" and think about it from a different perspective. I recommend this book if you are an over thinker, high anxiety with relationships, need helpful ways to bring up topics, or just help communicating in your relationship.

A quick and informative read.
Not overly wordy. The book was easy to understand and offered many practical self assessment and self help tools and techniques.
