Cohort 04 · 7-Day Challenge · $37

Seven days. Seven assignments. One pattern, named and broken.

For people who have read every book about boundaries and still find themselves saying yes to things they don't want, apologizing for asking, and re-editing their own sentences before anyone has heard them.

What this week looked like

You already know what you should do.

If you read your archetype result out loud to your closest friend, they would nod along. So would you. And this week alone, this happened:

You said yes to a thing you knew, in the first half-second, you should have said no to.

You apologized for asking for something you had every right to ask for.

You re-read a text three times before sending and quietly removed anything that might land too directly.

You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix, because you've been managing a room full of other people's reactions for a decade.

Why the books haven't worked

You are not missing the information. You are missing the reps.

Most advice on people-pleasing is insight delivery. You read the book, understand yourself better, and behave exactly the same way. The reason: the cost of saying no is felt immediately. The cost of saying yes is felt over years. Your nervous system runs that math every time you face a request and picks the option that does not make your chest tighten right now. Every single time.

Information does not move that math. Direct, structured pressure does. Specific small assignments designed to make you feel the discomfort of a "no" inside a contained week, with a community in the room and a coach calling out the moves you do not see yourself make.

Reps. Not insight.
The method

How the Challenge breaks the pattern in seven days.

Three things make this work where the books didn't.

01

Daily reps, not theory

One short video and one specific assignment per day. You complete it inside 24 hours, in your actual life, with the actual people you have been avoiding. Not journaling. Not reflection. Action.

02

Real conversations, not scripts

Every assignment lands in the world. A real ask. A real refusal. A real truth told to a specific person. The discomfort is the point, because that discomfort is what your nervous system has been avoiding for a decade.

03

Targeted at your pattern, not generic advice

This is built for one specific pattern. The one that has you saying yes when you mean no. Every prompt is calibrated for that exact pattern. Not a general productivity course. Not boundaries-in-the-abstract. The exact moves for the exact thing.

What you actually get

Seven days. Seven assignments. Each one harder than it sounds.

Every prompt is a small, specific move designed to make the pattern fire in real time so you can finally see it move.

Day 1 · The Small Unreasonable Ask
Find one stranger. Ask for one small thing you have no right to ask for. Watch what happens to your body when you say it out loud.
Day 2 · Tell One Real Truth
To one specific person, today, say the thing you have been editing for months. Five sentences. No softeners.
Day 3 · Ask for the Absurd Thing
Today's ask is bigger. Feel where the "no" actually lives in you before someone else has to say it.
Day 4 · No Day
Every request you receive today, the answer is no. Not "let me think." No.
Day 5 · The Conversation
The one you have been postponing. Today you have it, with the 5-step framework I will send you in the morning.
Day 6 · The Audit
Five questions. Twelve minutes. The exact shape of your pattern, on paper, in writing. Most people have never put this down before. It changes things.
Day 7 · The One Rule
One commitment for the next 30 days. If you actually run it, the pattern starts breaking itself.
+ Day 8 framework, yours forever
The 30-day "One Rule" framework that turns the seven days into a pattern shift that holds after Cohort 04 ends.
+ Lifetime re-access
The seven days are yours to repeat any time you want a reset. As many times as you need.

About the guide

I built this because I needed it.

Why I am the person handing you these seven assignments.

Nick Pollard

The 7 assignments are the moves that pulled me out. The same ones I now run with private clients. I am giving them away at $37 because most people do not need another book about boundaries. They need seven specific things to do this week.

This Challenge is the front door to everything I do. If you do it well, the rest of the work gets simpler.

What people who did it say

Not theory. Specific moments.

From the Boundary Bootcamps.

"Trust Nick and his tasks. He'll trigger the shit out of you and you'll come out more free than you've ever been. This course cracked my stagnated life. The best gift I've given myself."

"As I sit here trying to think of something witty to say, it's just raw emotion. There's been a huge shift. Everything just feels different."

Kim Troyer

"I've read every book and tried every system. Nothing stuck. This was different. It made me look at myself and supported me through it. In the simplest form, it showed me I can be me, and that's okay."

Shawn White

"I was working WAY too many hours and living in reactive mode instead of proactively drawing better lines in the sand. This was the first step that actually broke that loop."

Before you click buy

The questions I get most.

Is this actually for me?

If you've read three books about boundaries and still find yourself saying yes to things you don't want, this is for you. If you've never had a problem saying no, save your $37.

I'm too busy.

The longest assignment is twelve minutes. The shortest is one ask. If you can't find fifteen minutes a day for seven days to break a pattern that's costing you years, you're not too busy. You're too comfortable with the pattern.

What if it doesn't work?

Do all seven prompts. If your life isn't visibly different by Day 30, full refund. The completion clause matters: I refund people who did the work and didn't get results. I don't refund people who didn't open the emails.

How is this different from therapy or coaching?

Therapy helps you understand the pattern. Coaching makes you change it. This Challenge is the same seven moves I open private engagements with, compressed into seven days. Not a substitute for the deeper work. A starting line.

What happens after Day 7?

Day 7 ends with one rule you commit to for thirty days. Run it and the pattern starts breaking itself. From there, take what you learned and run.

Day 8 looks like this

After the seven days, your life keeps moving. The pattern doesn't run it anymore.

You wake up Monday after Cohort 04. The friend you'd been avoiding texted twice. You tell her the truth instead of disappearing again. Your boss asks for a Saturday favor. You say no without a paragraph of explanation. The family dinner is still hard, but you stop editing your sentences in the half-second before you speak them. Nothing in your life is permanently solved. But the pattern doesn't run you anymore. That's the whole point of the seven days.

Pricing

One time. No subscription. No upsell wall.

For comparison: a weekend boundaries workshop runs $800. A therapy session is $200. The book version of this work is $25 and goes on a shelf. This is $37. Seven days. Seven specific things to do.
