Boundaries: Asserting Your Authentic Self

Hey Y'all! Developing and supporting boundaries can feel impossible at first. Then it gets super easy? Well... No, no not really. The truth is people are cringey around boundaries. These are independent efforts we make as individuals to establish an environment of self-care and self-respect, and they can get in other people’s way. Self-care? Self-respect? Those are wonderful qualities! Why would anyone put aside those things as secondary to the care or respect of others? Because when it comes to standing up for others' values, we are told by our culture that we are honorable and courageous and good, but when we stand up for our own individual values, we are met with many voices of doubt. Most of the time that includes our own voice. This episode could be the nudge you need to take the next step in your desire to be self-empowered. You are 100% worth the work.   As always, thank you for the borrow of your beautiful ears, Jason and Kimberley [email protected]   Show Notes: “Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life” By Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend    “Codependent No More” Melody Beattie    Dr. Nicole LePera on Instagram @the.holistic.psychologist
