How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Guilty: A Guide for Women Who Always Say Yes


Listen Later

Ever find yourself saying yes while everything inside you screams no? You're not alone. If you're exhausted from overcommitting, resentful from people-pleasing, or drowning in everyone else's needs while yours take a backseat, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we're breaking down exactly why boundaries feel so impossible for women... and more importantly, what to do about it. This isn't just theory. You're getting practical, doable strategies you can start using today.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:
  • What boundaries actually are (and how lacking boundaries keeps you stuck)
  • The 3 core reasons boundaries feel impossible (and awful!) for women
  • The cost of weak boundaries: we're talking about emotional exhaustion, burnout, resentment, and energy depletion!
  • How boundaries create clarity and trust
  • 4 tactical strategies to start setting boundaries today

The bottom line: Boundaries aren't about being difficult or selfish. They're about being honest, sustainable, and present in your relationships. Saying no to someone else often means saying yes to yourself... and that matters.

Pick one strategy from this episode and practice it this week. Then let me know what you notice.
