Better Than Fine

Amy Smith, "the Joy Junkie", knows a thing or two about boundaries.  She's spends her professional time helping people unlock their self-worth through successful self-worth - which often means saying a few big "NO!"s to the things you don't want, so you can have room for the big "YES"es!  She's certified in hypnotherapy, coaching, NLP (just to name a few).

In this episode you'll learn about:

Why emotional intelligence is an essential part of setting boundaries

How boundary setting opens up your life for YOU to exist in it

The role of guilt & shame in boundary setting (and what to do about it)

Authentically showing up so your boundaries are a reflection of YOU
