Feeling drained from saying "yes" when you really want to say "no"? You're not alone. In this episode on setting healthy boundaries, I explore the guilt, fear, and discomfort that come with honoring your true needs—and how mastering this skill can completely transform your life and relationships.
You'll learn:
● Practical ways to stop people-pleasing and prevent burnout
● How to protect your energy and reduce daily stress
● Techniques for building respect-based relationships instead of resentment-driven ones
● Why discomfort is actually a sign you're choosing yourself
Perfect for anyone struggling with work-life balance, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed by others' demands.
Boundaries and Peace Affirmation
When I say yes to everything, I drift away from myself. When I pause, when I breathe, I come home again. Discomfort is not punishment. It is the feeling of choosing myself. It is the space between suffering and peace. My boundaries are love. My rest is power. My honesty is freedom. When I honor my boundaries, I return to the center of who I am. From that place, what I give is true, authentic and rare. Each time I choose myself, I return with more love to give, more calm to share, and the world feels a little more whole.
You can also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If you are interested in my work, please check out my books, The Gift of Maybe: Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times (including a new audiobook), A Year Without Men: A 12 Point Guide To Inspire and Empower Women and my new Audiobook, Maybe Everything Is Okay, A Parent's Guide To Less Stress and Worry. Also you can check out my new Maybe Cards: A Path to Stress-Free Living or my new digital Maybe Journal.
Above all, my heartfelt hope is that this podcast has supported your journey of personal growth, helped shift your mindset, reduce stress, built emotional resilience, and brought you less suffering and more joy, clarity, and peace.
