Does setting boundaries make you immediately feel guilty?

Do you finally decide to say no, ask for space, or stop carrying everyone else's emotions… and then immediately wonder if you're being selfish?

You're not alone.

In this episode, Alicia is diving into why boundaries can feel so uncomfortable—especially for stepmoms who are used to people pleasing, over-functioning, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone around them.

If you've ever felt responsible for keeping the peace, fixing everyone's feelings, or making sure nobody is disappointed, this episode will help you understand why boundaries can feel "mean" even when they're healthy.

You'll learn why guilt doesn't always mean you're doing something wrong, how people pleasing can quietly fuel resentment, and practical ways to start setting boundaries without feeling like the villain in your own home.

Because boundaries aren't about pushing people away.

They're about protecting your peace.
