Does This Sound Familiar?
Coworkers vent to you about other coworkers—and expect you to take sides
Family members pull you into their conflicts and want you to "fix it"
People share secrets with you, then say "Don't tell anyone..."
You go home exhausted—not from your work, but from everyone else's drama
You're the go-to person for problems that aren't even yours
You feel stuck in the middle, stressed out, and don't know how to escape
Here's What Most People Don't Realize:
Every time you get pulled into a drama triangle, you:
Take on stress that isn't yours
Damage relationships you didn't need to damage
Lose focus on what actually matters
Fill up your stress compartment with other people's problems
The good news? You can stop this pattern—without being rude, cold, or uncaring.
Introducing: Drama-Free Scripts
Your pocket guide to staying out of the middle (and cutting your stress in half)
Years ago, when I was working at a hospital drowning in drama, I was constantly getting pulled into conflicts that weren't mine.
My stress was through the roof.
That's when I developed what I call a "Life Law":
"If it doesn't involve you, don't get involved."
— Carol Rickard, LCSW
This one boundary changed everything.
But here's the thing—knowing the principle isn't enough.
You need the actual words to say when someone tries to pull you in.
That's exactly what this guide gives you.

What People Are Saying:
This changed everything for me!
I was constantly caught between my adult daughter and the rest of my family. Carol's Life Law and these scripts gave me permission to love everyone without being the mediator for everyone. I finally have peace.
I wish I'd had this 10 years ago
As a charge nurse, I was always in the middle of staff drama. These scripts have saved me so much stress and helped me stay neutral without being cold. Game-changer.
Simple but powerful
I thought setting boundaries meant being rude. Carol showed me how to acknowledge people without getting sucked into their drama. The scripts are so practical—I use them every week.
