Audiobooks (Part 1 + 2)

I didn’t realize how desperate I looked until Why He Picks Her by Victoria Hayes dragged me. I stopped double-texting, stopped giving wifey energy to dudes who didn’t earn it, and he literally asked “what’s changed with you?” two weeks later. He’s the one planning dates now, not me begging for “when are you free.”

Every guy treated me like a placeholder. After reading this, I cut off the situationship, followed the “I’m the bonus, not the prize he won” mindset, and suddenly men started competing for my time. My ex actually asked if we could “try again” — I told him I’m fully booked.

I bought this during a breakup spiral, fully convinced he was the one. Halfway through, I stopped stalking his Instagram and started acting like the main character again. Funny enough, he came back. The difference is, now I know I’m the one doing the choosing… and I’m not sure I even want him.

I used to over-explain everything and chase reassurance. This book made me realize how unbothered, feminine energy actually works. I pulled back, stopped arguing, and he stepped up on his own. No games, just standards — and he’s the one scared to lose me now.

I was stuck in a 2-year situationship that never moved. After reading the part about the position you allow yourself in, I stopped sleeping over, stopped doing girlfriend favors, and focused back on myself. He either had to level up or leave. He leveled up — and actually booked us a trip.
