Are you always putting everyone else’s needs before yours?

Do you often say “yes” when you’d prefer to say “no”?

In this episode I explore why boundaries are so important for your wellbeing and I share how to effectively set boundaries without coming across as rude. I also tackle the age old problem of the guilty feeling that arises when you set a boundary for the first time.

If you’re a people pleaser and you’re overwhelmed thanks to always prioritising other people first and consequentially you’re fed up and frustrated, this episode is for you.

Episode highlights:

• The common link between energy management, self-respect and Improved relationships
• 5 tools to help you effectively set boundaries
• Why understanding your own needs is the first step to boundary setting
• How to avoid unnecessary conflict in personal relationships
• Building your “no” muscle without upsetting people
• The key to ensuring your boundaries are upheld and respected
• Navigating guilt and resentment
• The link between health and negative emotions
• Two powerful questions to ask yourself this week
• Gabor Mate “When the Body Says No” book recommendation 

2023 was my year of boundary setting so I know just how challenging it can be to start asserting your needs and saying “no” when the folks around you are used to you being a “yes” person.

I’d love to hear how you get on with setting your own boundaries. Send me a voice note on Instagram here and let me know.
