If you follow along on Instagram, you saw last week I got to record a bunch of podcast episodes in New York City in person! While normally I record podcasts in my car, this conversation with Dr. Judith was another unique experience! We recorded this in the safe in her office and talked all about setting boundaries with family during the holidays, which I know is something a lot of people struggle with. From setting healthy boundaries for work to your in-laws, Dr. Judith gave some really helpful tips on identifying what boundaries you need and how to talk to people when they're crossed. I'm definitely gonna try some of her advice to make sure I'm taking care of myself this season. 

HIGHLIGHTS

07:00 How to set boundaries in difficult family dynamics. 

14:45 Ways to stay on the same page as your spouse as you communicate and set boundaries (especially with critical) in-laws.

19:45 Pros and cons of technology and ways to set healthy boundaries from work.

23:15 How can working mothers set boundaries and prioritizing self-care? 

29:00 Self-care and mental health with Dr. Judith Joseph.

How do you keep going after getting the news that your baby has been given 12 months to live? I connected with today’s guest Danielle when she joined the Healing Her membership and her story is so powerful.

You'll be inspired by her resilience in the face of adversity and how connecting with other women helped her rediscover her passions outside of caregiving. Don't miss this powerful example of never giving up on yourself, even in the hardest of times, and that it’s possible to find yourself again after grief.

46. Grief in Motherhood & Finding Yourself Again After Being Blessed with a Miracle Baby

We’ve got to take our power back from the hungry machine of social media. Whether you are also an entrepreneur and run your businesses online or you’re there to find community I know how these platforms can lead to burnout and joy sucking comparison. In this episode, my husband Mike and I pull back the curtain and share an honest conversation about what it’s really like trying to keep up with impossible standards, and why so many people we know are stepping away from social media, and how to use these platforms to connect and benefit your mental health. 

After listening to this episode, I hope you feel less alone in their struggles, get a glimpse into what it’s like for creators, while also gaining practical tips to use social media in a way that uplifts rather than overwhelms you.
