I was thirty-eight weeks pregnant when a nurse said it, casually, just a note on a "geriatric." I went home and Googled it, then spent the night second-guessing a pregnancy I had been thrilled about. One word from a stranger, and I was carrying her fear.
Then something This isn't mine.
I Handed It Back.
That moment became The Hand It Back Method—a simple, powerful practice to release the expectations, labels, and pressure we absorb in real time.
It shows up in boardrooms when you're told you're too ambitious, at family tables when your choices are questioned, in the mirror after years of being told your body is the problem.
We've all been handed scripts we never agreed to carry.
Tanis Larson is an author, content creator, and founder of The Hand It Back Method—a simple yet powerful approach to letting go of fear, self-doubt, and the weight of other people's opinions so you can live with greater confidence, courage, and purpose.
Tanis made this book such a great read! It offers valuable insights, practical advice, and a fresh perspective on personal growth. I especially appreciated how it encourages self-reflection and reminds us that small changes can make a big difference over time. Not my preferred genre, and yet it was a wonderful read. What a wonderful first book by author Tanis
