Obligers, people-pleasing, and boundaries, oh my! My friend, Jordan Richter, joins us this week to talk about boundaries and shine light on The Four Tendencies, a personality framework created by Gretchen Rubin to describe types with regards to our expectations for ourselves and others. One of the personality types, we found, goes hand in hand with boundaries! Listen to Jordan's in-depth overview of each of the types, their strategies for habit change, and she even shares her personal experience with blurred boundaries.

Getting used to the idea of failure isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea. It sucks, it's messy, and I don't think anyone is too particularly fond of admitting defeat and potential rejection. But I've learned that it's crucial to turn this relationship with failure and mistakes into one filled with compassion and empathy. Mistakes can be huge learning opportunities, and it's up to us to turn it into a rewarding experience from which we can grow.

In this episode, we're reflecting on a year of self-compassion, listening carefully to these messages of healing, and allowing ourselves to be completely present and open to all the love.
