NO MORE MEDIOCRE

Laura Danger

A Call to Reimagine Our Relationships and Demand More

From educator and TikTok phenom Laura Danger, a practical guide on how to battle inequity in domestic labor 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.
The overwhelm of being everything to everyone the career woman, the progressive mama, the supportive wife, and the cool, carefree host hit her and she realized that things needed to change. 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 sets out on a path of unpacking the inequity and rage in the erasure of domestic labor and care, taking you on the journey with her.

Organized in seven chapters covering topics like harmful stereotypes and communication models, from the nag paradox to weaponized incompetence, NO MORE MEDIOCRE asks why we make light of these deeply problematic dynamics and who wins when we buy into them. Drawing from case studies, including non-traditional, intentionally developed family structures, and her own experience with mental illness and the demands of work and family life, Danger provides actional steps you can take to restructure your household and fight against the boundaries of our overworked corrupted current state, through better communication and systems.

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.

AA Fair Play Facilitator, and life coach, Laura Danger has been interviewed in HuffPo, InStyle, Business Insider, In the Know, and Bored Panda as an expert on weaponized incompetence and inequity within partnerships.
