Listen Later

Episode 55: In this episode of The EducateHer’s Sanctuary, Dr. Lea explores what it really means to set boundaries and choose yourself without guilt. She reflects on a season of personal growth that required honest self-reflection, self-love, and the courage to disrupt patterns built on overgiving. Through this conversation, Dr. Lea reminds listeners that boundaries do not need speeches or explanations. They are lived through decisions, self-respect, and sustainability.

This episode challenges the belief that choosing yourself is selfish and reframes it as an act of integrity that protects peace, energy, and long-term well-being.
