I’ve always believed in the power of setting boundaries and the strength it takes to say no, especially in a world that often expects so much from us, particularly women.
Growing up, I saw firsthand how societal expectations and family dynamics could mold us into people-pleasers, constantly putting others’ needs before our own. It took me years to realize that this wasn’t just about being nice or accommodating; it was a deeply ingrained behavior that stemmed from a desire to be accepted and valued. But at what cost?
In today's episode I'll share some of my story and give you tips for how to access your No! 
I invite you to reflect on your own experiences with setting boundaries and saying no. What are you willing to say “no” to, in order to say “yes” to empowering yourself? Remember, it’s a journey, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time.

Waking the Tiger, by Peter A. Levine - the book I mentioned in the episode,

In this podcast, I delve into the transformative journey of questioning societal norms, confronting prejudices (including my own), and ultimately, discovering personal truths. It’s been a journey of empowerment and growth, where I’ve learned the importance of making decisions that align with my desires, setting boundaries, and living a life that is authentically mine.
But, “It’s Your Turn” is not just about my story. It’s about challenging the detrimental effects of societal gender roles, cultural expectations, and biases that we’ve all faced in one way or another. It’s about understanding how these beliefs can limit our aspirations and influence our behaviors in ways we might not even be aware of.
Standing up for oneself against societal expectations is not an easy task. It requires courage, a growth mindset, and an openness to personal evolution. I want to encourage all of you to explore your personal truths, question the norms, and confront the prejudices. It’s in this exploration that we find empowerment and growth.
I’m here to guide you through this journey, offering insights, tools, and reflections that have helped me along the way. But more than that, I want to foster a supportive community where we can all connect and share our experiences. It’s in sharing our stories that we find strength and validation in our truths.
So, if you’re ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery, to make life choices that truly resonate with who you are, and to live authentically amidst a world of external influences, I invite you to join me. Let’s discover, embrace, and assert our truths together. Remember, it’s your turn.
