Let me introduce myself!

Hey, I’m Suzanne Culberg – I’m The Nope Coach, a compassionate Boundary Coach who helps you navigate your journey to self-care and fulfillment. Together we break the cycle of putting yourself last and instead build the confidence to set and maintain healthy boundaries. I believe that M stands for Mother, not Maid or Martyr and have spent the last 7 years going from a doormat people pleaser to being boundaried AF! I’m on a mission to not only help women set boundaries for themselves but also...

A business rabbit hole you will enjoy

Hi Reader, A quick heads up about something that is not mine but is genuinely worth your eyeballs. This one is for those of you in business. My friend Ruth has just opened her All Access Pass 2026 and it is an absolute steal. You might already know her because she was a guest on The Nope Coach Podcast. We had a really honest, behind-the-scenes chat about how she runs her business and thinks about money and experiments. If you want to listen, you can catch that episode here. Here is why I am...

Sometimes other people can duck

Hi Reader, I’ve been standing on the beach a lot lately. My daughter got surfing lessons for Christmas, and I’ve been watching from the sand. If you’ve ever surfed, or even tried, you’ll know it’s not just physical. It’s constant awareness. Other surfers. Swimmers. Waves. Rocks. Conditions. Timing. Everything at once. By day four of lessons, two things landed hard for me. The first was this. The ocean does not care about your plans. I booked the lessons months ago. Lesson times shifted...

Done With 2025

Hi Reader, The year isn’t finished, but you are. If you’re feeling cooked, flat, foggy, or just very over it, your system is asking for closure, not more effort. I’m running a live end of year guided session called Done With 2025. This is a 90 minute space to clear the emotional clutter of the year, let go of what’s been weighing on you, and step into 2026 with intention rather than dragging unfinished business along for the ride. We’ll journal together.We’ll reflect together.There’ll be real...

Deck the halls (and not your family) fa la la la la la la

Hi Reader, Christmas has a vibe. Sometimes that vibe is sparkly lights, full hearts, and a suspicious amount of cheese. Sometimes that vibe is being trapped in a lounge room with people who still think “just let it go” is helpful advice. This is your annual reminder that:• You are not required to tolerate nonsense because it’s Christmas.• You do not owe access to your nervous system to anyone with shared DNA.• Peace on earth starts with peace in your body. Deck the halls, sure. But you are...

Sometimes the light comes with whiskers

Hi Reader, We’ve been living in Victoria for just over three months now. Some parts of the transition have been smooth sailing. Other parts have been, let’s call them character building. My husband is thriving in his new job. My daughter has settled into high school with a confidence that honestly blows my mind. My son has not had the same experience. He’s been having a really hard time. Big feelings. Tough days. That particular kind of sadness that doesn’t always have words but sits heavy in...

The power of naming what drains you

Hi Reader, Inside The Done Era community recently we played a little game. A cheeky, cathartic, wildly honest A to Z of things we are absolutely, unapologetically done with. It turned into a collective exhale. A permission slip. A rally cry. A reminder that you are not the only one who has been carrying way too much for far too long. Here is the community’s A to Z manifesto. Every line written by a member. Every line a tiny rebellion. A: Apologising for existingB: Being the default parentC:...

You don’t owe forever. Let’s talk about it

Hi Reader, You know that thing you keep dragging along even though it stopped feeling right ages ago? The project that has lost its spark. The friendship that feels like a chore. The commitment that makes your stomach sink every time it pops up in your calendar. That is what my live workshop Done Is a Decision is about. We will explore: ✨ The signs something is truly “done” for you. ✨ How to tell the difference between normal resistance and your soul saying “nope.” ✨ Ways to bow out without...

Done Is a Decision (Free Live Workshop)

Hi Reader, You know that thing you’ve been holding onto out of guilt or “what if”? That project that’s lost its spark. That friendship that feels more obligation than joy. That commitment that keeps getting heavier every time you think about it. It’s time to call it. I’m running a brand new live workshop called Done Is a Decision, and it’s all about knowing when something’s truly done and finding the courage to stop dragging it out for another decade. We’ll dive into: ✨ The signs you’re in...
