Send us a text

If you are struggling with setting boundaries, it may be because you are jumping into boundaries around behavior without ever feeling into what you control and don’t control. Before you can set and hold boundaries with other people, first let’s learn how to hold boundaries with ourselves. Emotional boundaries are the way we stop breaking our own boundaries which is typically at the root of most women’s burnout.  

If you struggle with boundaries or are a recovering people pleaser, perfectionist, or co-dependant - this episode is for you my friend. From one empath to another, let’s learn how to use our sensitivity as a gift and not something that has us constantly burned out or emotionally breaking down.   

Highlights and topics: 

+ What is yours and what is not yours 

+ Feeling the separation of self and other

+ Centering your energy back on what you control 

+ Detaching from trying to control and manipulate the emotions of others

+ How emotional boundaries create freedom and healthy boundaries from over-responsibility, and people pleasing, and codependency  

+How leaky energetic boundaries are impacting your parenting 

+Being able to feel and own your emotions and needs 

+Self awareness vs hyper-fixation and over-intellectualizing (get out of your head and into your body and your life)
