#153: Boundaries & the Power of "I'm Not Willing"


Listen Later

"I'm not willing to avoid discussing politics"

"I'm not willing to watch my grandchildren every weekend."

What are you unwilling to do?

Being unwilling is a powerful way to set boundaries. We decide what is and is not acceptable to us and decide what we are and aren't willing to do. Doing this often feels great!

But then we have to deal with all the uncomfortable feelings.

"I'm not willing" is inherently paired with "I'm willing." Are we willing to have an uncomfortable conversation? Willing to have people be mad at us?

In this episode I focus on setting boundaries and how we can use "I'm not willing" and "I'm willing" together to powerfully shape our lives.
