Please Excuse My Boundaries

By Kristy Jean

ABOUT THE BOOK

Kristy Jean was born knowing exactly who she was—bold, stubborn (“capatosta,” as her Italian family would say), and unafraid to speak her mind. But then she met the world. The world told her to be quiet, sit nicely, and fit in at all costs. So, like so many of us, she learned to please, to excuse, to shrink. Little by little, she lost herself.

Please Excuse My Boundaries is a raw, unapologetic exploration of what happens when we trade authenticity for acceptance—and what it takes to reclaim ourselves. Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons, Kristy Jean unpacks the ways she excused her fears, ignored her needs, and let others dictate her worth. But this isn’t just her story—it’s an invitation to examine your own.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the expectations of others, if you’ve ever silenced yourself to keep the peace, if you’re ready to stop excusing and start owning your boundaries, this book is for you.

Kristy Jean is an author, speaker, and educational leader dedicated to helping individuals and organizations strengthen decision-making, embrace change, and establish boundaries that foster growth. She holds a Master of Science in Educational Administration, along with Principal and Director of Instruction licensures.

Her first book, Decision Permission: Five States of Support for Every Level of Decision Making, has empowered readers to make choices that align with their most authentic lives. In her memoir, Please Excuse My Boundaries, Kristy shares a deeply personal journey of unlearning people-pleasing, releasing fear, and no longer excusing the behaviors of others—all to step fully into her boundaries and live with clarity and confidence.

Kristy doesn’t just write about these concepts—she actively brings them to life through speaking engagements, workshops, and consulting with organizations of all sizes. She collaborates with businesses, schools, and wellness professionals to create meaningful change, blending insights from education, leadership, and personal development. When she’s not writing or working with teams, Kristy enjoys time outdoors in the North Woods of Wisconsin with her blended family of six, sharing laughter and competitive board games.
