When you're a sensitive soul or an empath special boundaries are required to live your best life. Boundaries and self-care, when instituted well and with compassion, can create a life that feels both less stressful and more fulfilling. To openly express who we are and what we value and need allows us to not only relax into our lives more deeply, but can also give others the permission to create better self-care in their own lives. These improvements in boundaries and self-care can be a win for everyone involved. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration.

As the hosts explore the topics of sensitivity and having an empathic nature, how to say no with grace and ease is an important conversation. During this episode the hosts offer strategies to move into saying no well, facing the feelings you feel despite what can be difficult, because the goal is to align with truth, not necessarily comfort. When we go for momentary comfort and forgo the truth of what we're thinking or desiring, we end up with the longer term uncomfortable feelings of being inauthentic. Listen in to this episode and learn ways to express no in ways that feels good, even if it's uncomfortable.
