YME Episode 14 - Setting Boundaries Without Burning Bridges

This episode is for any mom who has ever said "yes" to a playdate when she was already exhausted, stayed quiet to keep the peace, or worried that saying "no" would make her unlikable.

Shawna and Cara share their own struggles with people-pleasing and dive into what boundaries really are…

Boundaries are NOT walls of anger, but gentle bridges to protect your peace. 

Join us for a validating chat that will leave you feeling empowered to honor your own needs.

TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):

• A boundary isn't about demanding someone else change; it's an agreement you make with yourself about what you will do to protect your peace.
  

• It's normal to feel like setting a boundary is a huge, dramatic event on the inside, even if it’s just a simple, quiet statement on the outside.
  

• Inspired by Brené Brown, we discuss how true compassion comes from integrity, and that requires boundaries to prevent resentment from building.
  

• If someone who benefits from you not having boundaries suddenly calls you "difficult" for setting one, it's often a sign that manipulation was in the mix.

  
  

What is one small boundary you could set this week to protect your energy, even if it feels a little scary?

Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this. You’re Mom Enough!
