Suzanne on Have Better Boundaries Now

Today’s show starts with a timely little chunk of my other podcast, Back to Happy, that deals with a VERY key piece of self-care: getting support. Can’t actually muster up the mojo to make that ask? You’ll get some good ideas on how and where to look for help in our intro. Then on to the main part of our show … a reprise of a piece I recorded in 2019. Why? Because we can’t ever get enough reminders about having strong boundaries. They truly are the key to a balanced, happy life. You know when you have strong boundaries because people don’t take advantage of you. You know how and when to say no – and you know it’s a balancing act. But for some of us … boundary setting is not so easy. I lay out the basics here, by getting into the meat of the matter when it comes to boundaries. You’ll learn: Why they matter so much to self-care How you know if your boundaries are weak How to know if a boundary is being violated The lies busy women tell themselves to keep bad boundaries in place … and why Encouragement and practical tips for how to proceed in a healthier way It’s all here in a scant half hour … hope you enjoy! And I’m SO glad you took this little bit of time to honor your boundaries. Here’s to YOU!
