About this listen

What if the secret to happiness isn’t becoming exceptional…
but finally admitting you’re not going to be?

The Mediocre Reset is the brutally honest, laugh-out-loud self-help parody for women who are exhausted by hustle culture, tired of being told to “optimize their potential,” and honestly just want a nap and a snack.

This is not another empowerment book written by someone who wakes up at 4:00 a.m., journals in three colors, drinks mushroom tea, and runs a Fortune 500 company before sunrise.
No. This book is for you — the gloriously average woman doing her best in a world that insists “best” must mean “perfect.”

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The peaceful art of lowering your expectations without lowering your standards of joy
  • How to stop striving and start surviving — stylishly, sarcastically, and unapologetically
  • Domestic mediocrity as a lifestyle choice (beds optional, junk drawers sacred)
  • Why “good enough” is often better than “crushing it”
  • How to avoid burnout by simply… not doing more stuff
  • Practical tips for women who do too much — and comedic relief for women who are too tired to care

If you’ve ever Googled funny self-help books for women, books about burnout, or humor for overwhelmed moms, congratulations. You have found your new comfort listen.

This is your permission slip to stop chasing excellence and start embracing the beautifully average magic of your everyday life.

Reset the bar.
Raise your happiness.
Be gloriously mediocre.
