Ep 25 The Gift of Boundaries: Protecting Your Family's Energy

Are you feeling stretched too thin, saying “yes” to everyone and everything, and wondering why you’re so drained? Today’s episode of Nature to Nurture is all about boundaries—the life-changing gift that protects your energy, restores your peace, and helps your family thrive.

But let’s be real—boundaries aren’t easy. They’re uncomfortable, messy, and sometimes downright hard to follow. Yet they’re absolutely necessary for creating a life where you and your family can feel secure, calm, and connected.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into:

• Why boundaries are a must for protecting your energy and well-being.
• The connection between boundaries and a flourishing family.
• Emotional boundaries (like letting go of problems that aren’t yours).
• Physical boundaries (think electronics, work hours, and social commitments).
• How modeling healthy boundaries creates security and calmness for your kids.

I’m also sharing personal stories of my own struggles with boundaries—how hard they’ve been for me and why I’ve found them to be one of the most transformative tools in my life. Plus, I’ll bring in a touch of science to show you why boundaries are a game-changer for you and your family.

And as always, I’m leaving you with actionable steps to start building better boundaries today.
