From licensed educator and TikTok phenom Laura Danger, an insightful and practical guide that will teach you how to recognize unproductive dynamics at home, transform your relationships, find your community—and break free from a life of mediocrity.
Ever had the feeling your spouse is totally capable of doing that simple household task? Ever felt so burned out you want to hide in the bathroom while your home devolves into chaos?
All of us are running a race against a culture telling us we need to be more, to hustle more, and that we should be doing it all ourselves. It’s a cycle that needs to be broken, and in this book, Danger, an experienced educator, facilitator, and domestic equity advocate, sets out on a path of unpacking the inequity and rage in the erasure of domestic labor and care to guide readers toward a healthier and more balanced life.
Organized into seven chapters covering topics like harmful stereotypes and communication models, as well as the nag paradox and weaponized incompetence, No More Mediocre asks why we make light of deeply problematic dynamics and who wins when we buy into them? Drawing from case studies, including nontraditional, intentionally developed family structures, and her own experience with mental illness and the demands of work and family life, Danger provides communication models and actionable steps you can take to restructure your household and thrive at home and with partners in a chaotic world.
A battle cry for better, Laura Danger shows that there are countless practical ways to maintain bonds, beat back against the status quo, and to meet our own and one another’s needs, because we all deserve more than mediocre.
