- Strange TMI intro about my ingrown toenail

- Jennifer talks about why she was too afraid to value herself enough to have boundaries for most of her life and her journey to how she now listens to her body and is learning to love herself enough to have them.

- We discussed why boundaries can be so difficult and some of the wiring we had to unlearn.

- My bizarre "Jump in the River" story

- Zelle joins us a couple of times to try out our tea and remind us that she too needs boundaries ;).

- Our experiences of how our bodies tell us when we need to have boundaries or when someone has bumped up against them.

- I believe that family is not the most important, but YOU are.

- Today is an emotional but important episode about grief. A year ago, I came home from a trip to my beloved Shiloh dying. Even though she was old and lived a beautiful and long life, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. I don't think we are ever prepared for the pain and grief of loss.

- Today I allow myself to feel and acknowledge the grief I carry every day.

- I also discuss a different kind of grief which is choosing to let go of people in your life that are toxic.  It's okay to miss them still.

- Learning to make myself take time to feel the grief so that I can move on and not run from it until it builds up and overtakes me.

- Realizing that I cannot live a wholehearted life if I can't allow myself to have "all" of the human experience and feelings.
