Boundaries Are Not a Mindset Issue — They’re a Nervous System Requirement


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about boundaries — not as a personal development buzzword, but as a biological and hormonal necessity for women.

So many women struggle with fatigue, anxiety, burnout, stubborn weight, sleep issues, and hormone chaos… and no one connects the dots back to chronic boundary violations — emotional, physical, relational, and energetic.

In this episode, I break down why boundaries aren’t about being difficult, selfish, or rigid — they’re about creating safety in the body.

  • Why women are conditioned to override their needs and how this impacts health

  • How lack of boundaries keeps the nervous system in a constant stress response

  • The connection between boundaries, cortisol, blood sugar, and inflammation

  • Why “just managing stress better” doesn’t work without boundary support

  • How chronic people-pleasing shows up as hormone symptoms

  • Why boundaries are essential during perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum

  • What it actually feels like in the body when a boundary is being crossed

  • Simple ways to begin setting boundaries without guilt or burnout
