The holidays are often filled with joy, and sometimes, stress. In this mini-episode, we cut through the confusion and clearly define the difference between boundaries and expectations. We’ll explain why boundaries are about self-care and what you will allow (things you can control), while expectations are about what others should do (things you can’t control). Tune in for simple, actionable tips on how to start thinking about and setting appropriate boundaries over the upcoming holiday season to reduce stress and maximize your peace.
