20 Something with Maddie

Ever felt like a person, maybe a place, an event, situation, whatever it may be just didn't fill you up. Maybe you left feeling like it took all of your energy to be around that, or that it was more work than enjoyment.

It can be extremely hard & boundaries are not something that are super easy to just recognize and begin implementing. Even after I've been able to recognize and implement them in my own life I still have my moments of slips but I have worked to find some balance with it.

It all starts with recognizing how you are feeling, about a situation, a person, an event or as I said before, whatever it might be. If you're a people pleaser like me this may have been even more of a struggle for you.

In this episode I share my stories and experiences with recognizing the boundaries I need to set as well as working on using them better in my own life.

Chances are, if you are an entrepreneur or have a brand of your own or whatever it may be that you are doing... There has probably been a time that you have experienced imposter syndrome. 

*que the stress + constant feeling of not being good enough + questioning all things*

I've been through it, I'm still going through it but a key to getting through it (and well anything in life) is first finding a system of what helps you when you feel those feelings coming up.

Which is exactly what I discuss in this episode, everything that helps me make it through it and keep pushing forward and showing up consistently. 

1. Focus on your why. 
2. Remember that everyone starts somewhere.
3. Don’t feel like you have to know everything.
4. Know that you are not alone. 
5. Reflect on your past accomplishments. 

Remember that you've got this & you are a bad ass.
