A 5-day self-trust rebellion against nice girl programming, body control, and the rules you never agreed to but still live in your habits, your hunger, and your reflection.
Torch the rules you keep breaking anyway.
Skipping the âplanâ by Wednesday.
Letting âjust one thingâ derail your whole day.
Holding back the truth in the moment then replaying it for hours.
Not anymore.
Here, you move before your brain talks you out of it.
Your body backs every decision without that fight-or-flight buzz in your chest.
The energy youâve been bleeding into everyone else?Â
Back in your hands fueling choices that actually change your life!!!
Stop Playing Nice is for the woman whoâs mastered being palatable, likable, and productive but is still performing niceness at the expense of their standards, body, and self-trust.
Itâs for the neurospicy rebel whoâs done betraying their body, needs, and truth just to avoid being labeled âtoo much.â
Youâll break the subconscious spell that told you looking a certain way made you worthy and finally see the invisible rules youâve been obeying without consent.
Because even though youâve mastered being nice to everyone else, this is where you finally stop abandoning you.
đ Itâs not just about being nice to others â youâve been performing niceness to yourself too.
âš Soothing discomfort with distraction
Scrolling through reels, cleaning the kitchen, reorganizing your inbox â anything to avoid feeling whatâs actually going on in your body.
âš Avoiding your needs by calling them ânot a big dealâ
Skipping meals, ignoring the panic in your chest, brushing off the fact you havenât rested in days â just to keep the peace or stay âproductive.â
âš Telling yourself youâre fine⊠when youâre actually exhausted
You smile. You push through. You say âIâm goodâ â but your bodyâs begging for stillness, and your brain is one more task away from crashing out.
Hereâs what shifts when you stop performing for approval:
â Consuming endless content that leaves you overwhelmed, second-guessing, and disconnected from your own voice
†To clearing the noise, regulating your input, and realizing how much easier it is to eat, move, and make decisions when your brain isnât drowning in everyone elseâs opinions
â Skipping meals or eating whateverâs convenient just to ânot be difficultâ â even when it leaves you foggy, bloated and disconnected from your body
†To fueling your focus with food that actually supports your mood, energy, and clarity
â Comparing yourself to bodies that were never built like yours â then wondering why you never feel enough
†To seeing your body as its own standard, not a broken version of someone elseâs
â Skipping movement because youâre âtoo tiredâ but secretly stuck in your head and craving regulation
†To moving in ways that stabilize you emotionally, physically, and hormonally â even if itâs just 5 minutes
Imagine looking in the mirror and finally seeing you â not the curated version, but the grounded, untamed force who eats in a way that nourishes, speaks with unfuckwithable clarity, and walks into every room like their energy belongs before they even say a word.
đ§ Why This Matters (Proof You Need to See)
Most self-aware women donât realize their ânicenessâ is a survival strategy, not a personality trait.
Research on fawning, people-pleasing, and performance-based self-worth shows that chronic self-abandonment leads to burnout, disordered eating patterns, weakened immune function, and long-term identity confusion.
đ Studies show that when you keep overriding your needs to stay likable, your brain starts to associate safety with self-abandonment.
And when silence = safety, your voice, boundaries, and body pay the price.
But that wiring isnât permanent.
Stop Playing Nice helps you expose the invisible rules youâve been performing under â and rewrite the script.
Not through mindset alone.
Through proof your body can feel.
What Youâll Actually Do Inside Stop Playing Nice:
 đ§ You stop chasing clarity through content⊠because your own voice is finally louder than the noise. (Day 1 â Input Detox)
⥠You stop skipping meals and calling it discipline⊠because now you know how to feed the version of you who follows through. (Day 2 â Feed Your Focus)
đ You stop body-checking for worth⊠and start building real trust through strength. (Day 3 â Build Body Trust)
đȘYou stop shrinking for approval⊠and start owning your reflection with unapologetic power. (Day 4 â Rewrite the Mirror Story)
â€ïžâđ„ And you stop waiting for permission⊠because your body finally believes the pattern is broken. (Day 5 â Make the Bold Decision)
Once you taste self-led power, you canât unsee it.
You wonât want to.
This is where you break the subconscious spell of performance and start living, eating, and leading like you actually belong to yourself.
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Sara Storm
Hey, Iâm Sara â and I created Stop Playing Nice because I spent most of my life performing confidence without even realizing it.
Â
I was the smart one. The mature one. The girl who had it together. I knew how to read a room better than I knew myself.
But deep down? I was completely disconnected.
Â
I didnât know who I was.
I didnât trust myself.
And I didnât feel safe letting ANYONE all the way in.
Â
So I found other ways to survive:
Â
đ„€ I drank Red Bull vodkas at 15 and called it energy when I was really just running on anxiety
đ„ I ate 600 calories a day and forced myself to do cardio every night because thinner meant safer
đ I tracked every single macro with military precision then binged in secret when the pressure cracked
đ I flirted for validation but panicked if someone actually liked me
đ» I ghosted anyone who felt too close because I didnât know how to receive connection
đȘ I trained through pain, skipped rest, and told myself I was just âdisciplinedâ
đȘ I fell for emotionally unavailable people because they mirrored how disconnected I was from myself
đ I avoided talking about my accomplishments because I didnât want to seem egotistical LOL
đ«„ And if I didnât feel pretty enough, skinny enough, or styled enough â my confidence vanished into the abyss
Â
Because even my self-worth was a costume.
Â
As someone with an AuDHD brain wired for both performance and sensitivity, I didnât just want to be liked â I needed to be untouchably competent.
Â
If I didnât have the perfect outfit, perfect energy, or perfect body⊠I didnât feel safe being seen.
Â
And hereâs what I didnât realize back then:
Â
âš Nice girl programming doesnât always look soft.
Sometimes it looks like strength. Like control. Like doing everything yourself so no one ever questions if you can.
Â
The mask didnât start to crack until I finally felt safe in a relationship with myself â and lost the one thing I used to get all my validation from:
Â
đ§ââïž Independence.
Â
For the first time in my life, I couldnât just âhandle it.â
đ„ Burnout hit.
đ My mental health and business collapsed.
đ«„ And with it, my identity.
Â
Thatâs when I realized:
Â
đĄ If your worth is built on being strong, capable, or self-reliant⊠youâll keep betraying your truth just to prove you donât need anything from anyone.Â
Â
My transformation didnât come from a single breakthrough.
Â
It came from silence.
From space.
From finally feeling the emotions Iâd been avoiding for years.
Â
It came from learning how to lead myself through resistance, avoidance, and shame â without trying to fix myself.
Â
Now, I help women stop abandoning themselves in the name of being âgood.â
Â
đ I can feel the moment someone starts scanning a room instead of staying in their body.
đ« I can see the pause in their breath before they say what they really mean.
đ I know the mask. I wore it for years.
Â
Â
Stop Playing Nice is the pattern interrupt I wish I had.
Â
A space to unravel the identity you built for survival â
and rebuild one rooted in truth:
đ your body,
đ your standards,
đ your needs,
đ your voice.
Â
This isnât surface-level mindset work.
Â
đȘ Itâs a full-system strategy for your thoughts,
đż your habits,
đ€ your emotions,
đ§ and your nervous system.
Â
Because you canât think your way into a new life â you have to feel safe living it.
Are you done abandoning your needs just to be the nice one â the one who never complains, never asks for more, and always makes it easier for everyone else to love you but harder for you to live with yourself?
