Dr. Jen Fry Announces Debut Book I Said No: A No-BS Guide to Boundaries Without Guilt
[June 5, 2025] — National — Leadership consultant, conflict expert, and TEDx speaker Dr. Jen Fry is celebrating her birthday in bold fashion with the release of her first book, I Said No: How to Have a Backbone and Boundaries Without Being a Jerk. Available now for preorder, the book offers a refreshingly direct and practical roadmap to standing up for yourself without spiraling into guilt, shame, or self-doubt.
Written for high-achievers, over-functioners, and “strong” people who rarely feel supported, I Said No is equal parts pep talk and practical guide. Dr. Fry draws on her deep expertise in conflict, leadership development, and organizational culture to help readers build the skills they need to:
- Set boundaries without over-explaining
- Navigate conflict without guilt
- Say “no” with clarity and confidence
- Center themselves in decision-making—without apology
“This book is for people who are tired of carrying everyone else’s expectations while ignoring their own,” says Fry. “Saying no isn’t selfish—it’s self-respect. And it’s a skill we can all learn.”
With sharp insight, cultural nuance, and laugh-out-loud humor, I Said No reframes boundary-setting as an act of care, not just for yourself, but for the people and communities you serve.
