82 Boundaries: The Self-Love Skill That Changes Everything.


Listen Later

As we move towards the end of the year, I’ve been hearing the same thing from so many women:

 

“I feel stretched… thin.”

“I’m overwhelmed but still saying yes.”
“I’m exhausted from holding everyone else together.”

 

And if any part of you is quietly nodding right now, this week’s episode of I Love Me: The Podcast was made for you. Because today we’re diving straight into a topic that most people misunderstand — BOUNDARIES.

 

Not the rigid, cold kind people fear. Not the ‘push others away’ kind. Not the ‘I’m difficult’ or ‘I’m selfish’ kind. I’m talking about the deeply loving, deeply spiritual, deeply freeing kind. The kind of boundaries that say:

 

“My energy matters.”

“My wellbeing matters.”
“My truth matters.”

 

The kind that bring you back home to yourself. In Episode 82, I break down:

  • Why we say “yes” when every cell in our body is screaming “no.”
  • The childhood beliefs that silently shape our boundaries as adults.
  • Why boundaries don’t restrict connection — they improve it.
  • How boundaries help you reclaim your time, your energy, and your peace of mind.
  • And why they’re not selfish — they are self-respect in action.
  •  

    I also share:

    • How emotional boundaries mirror the physical boundaries we use in yoga
    • The role of anger as your inner protector (yes, really!)
    • Practical examples you can use immediately
    • And how to set boundaries with love, as opposed to fear
    •  

      There’s even a sweet little story about a boundary I recently had to set with my son — one that taught both of us something beautiful. Because boundaries aren’t walls…

       

      Boundaries are containers for love.

       

      They help you show up more fully — not less. They help you stay authentic — not agreeable. They help you stay connected — without disappearing.

      About me…

       

      Hi, I’m Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast. For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love.

       

      In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally.

       

      Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals.

       

      My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same.

       

      On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!
