It's about time...
You Got Me Fucked Up is not your typical self-help book—it’s the reality check you didn’t know you needed. If you’ve ever felt drained from constantly saying yes, guilty for putting yourself first, or stuck in cycles of over giving and being taken advantage of, this book calls it out for exactly what it is—and shows you how to stop.
Tamarisk Locke delivers a bold, no-nonsense guide to understanding, creating, and enforcing boundaries that actually protect your time, energy, and self-worth. This isn’t about becoming cold or shutting people out—it’s about learning how to stand firm without losing yourself in the process. Through raw insight and unapologetic truth, you’ll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, the lies you’ve been told about “being nice,” and the practical mindset shifts needed to reclaim control of your life.
Perfect for anyone ready to stop overexplaining, stop people-pleasing, and start choosing themselves—without guilt, fear, or compromise.
My name is Tamarisk Locke. I’m a Mindfulness Coach and Author, and I help people-pleasers, the co-dependent, and the hyper-independent stop running themselves into the ground trying to be everything for everyone else. What you’ve been calling “weakness” isn’t the problem—it’s just been unbalanced and misused. I teach you how to flip that, own it, and turn it into something that actually works for you instead of against you.
You need this book if you struggle to say no, constantly put other people’s needs before your own, or ignore what you truly want. If you second-guess your decisions, rely on validation to feel worthy, or find yourself overcommitting because “you can handle it,” this is for you. If you pride yourself on doing everything alone but secretly feel overwhelmed, burned out, and craving time for yourself—you already know something has to change.

This isn’t your typical self-help book—and it’s not here to coddle you.
Narcissist Chronicles: Surviving the Game is a brutally honest, no-excuses guide for anyone stuck in toxic cycles, emotional manipulation, and codependent patterns. If you’ve been over giving, overexplaining, and overextending yourself for people who give you the bare minimum, this book will call it out—and show you how to break free.
Inside, you’ll uncover:
- The real mindset of narcissistic behavior (no sugarcoating)
- How manipulation, gaslighting, and control actually work
- Why codependency keeps you stuck—and how to dismantle it

This book doesn’t just help you understand narcissists—it forces you to confront the patterns that kept you there.
Because healing isn’t about waiting for them to change.
It’s about deciding you will.
If you’re ready to stop settling, stop shrinking, and finally choose yourself—this is your starting point.
