Stating boundaries as a people pleaser - 75

Today's episode is especially close to my heart because we're diving into a topic that has truly transformed my life: stating boundaries as a people pleaser.

For years, I felt like I was losing myself by constantly putting others' needs before my own. It wasn’t easy, but learning to state my boundaries helped me redefine my self-worth, build my confidence, and get closer to the person I truly am. From requiring clients to pay upfront to calling out friends for not being there when I needed them most, setting boundaries has been a game-changer for me.

But it’s not just about business transactions or social interactions—it's about balancing work and personal life, and knowing when to say "no." And let's face it, changing those deeply ingrained patterns can feel unnatural and even scary, especially when it involves the people we love.

In this episode, I’ll be sharing some deeply personal stories, from cutting off friendships that no longer fit to deciding not to work evenings and weekends. I’ll also touch on how a recent incident of waiting excessively for someone reminded me of why I set these boundaries in the first place.

You'll hear about the common challenges we face in setting boundaries—fear of rejection, lack of assertiveness, feelings of guilt—and the importance of self-awareness and prioritizing our own needs.

Stating boundaries isn't just an act of self-respect; it's essential for maintaining mental, emotional, and physical health. Join me as I unpack the insights, struggles, and profound personal growth that come from setting boundaries, and discover how you too can create the freedom to live your most authentic life.

So, if you're ready to reclaim your personal power and find a balance between helping others and honoring yourself, this episode is tailor-made for you. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. Tune in, learn, and let’s fuel our freedom together!
