    The Friendship Audit: Is This Friendship Actually Good for You?

    How do you feel after spending time with the people you call friends? Supported? Connected? Free to be yourself? Or do you sometimes leave feeling exhausted, anxious, guilty, or questioning yourself? In this episode of Embrace Your Value, therapist Kristen Burris and Beliefs & Boundaries Specialist Jen Anderson are doing a friendship audit. We're looking beyond whether someone texts often enough or occasionally needs more support and asking a deeper question: What does this relationship consistently feel like? We talk about emotional safety, resentment, one-sided relationship patterns, people-pleasing in friendships, changing friendships, and what happens when you're always the fixer, listener, or person everyone depends on. We also explore why some friendships need a conversation, some need a boundary, and some may simply need a little more distance. Most importantly, we turn the audit inward with one powerful question: Who am I in this friendship? You don't need to judge your friends or make a dramatic decision today. Get curious about the patterns and notice where you feel most free to be yourself. If this conversation brings someone to mind, share the episode and start a conversation of your own.

    How to Regulate Your Emotions & Make Clearer Decisions | Coming Back to Yourself

    Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure why making a clear decision feels so difficult? In this episode of Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson interviews therapist Kristen Burrus about her new workbook, Coming Back to Yourself: A Simple and Practical Workbook for Emotional Regulation, Self-Understanding, and Clearer Choices. Kristen shares why emotional regulation is such an important part of understanding yourself, how becoming more grounded can help you make clearer value-based decisions, and why you don’t have to work through personal growth in a perfectly prescribed order. We also explore Kristen’s House of Self model, which connects: • Values as the foundation • Boundaries as the walls that protect those values • Access and choices as the doors • Perspective as the windows through which we see the world • Meaning as the roof that helps bring it all together Kristen also explains how Coming Back to Yourself can be used independently or alongside therapy as a practical tool for reflection, conversation, and greater self-understanding. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in your emotions, or unsure what you really want, this conversation may give you a helpful place to begin.

    How to Become the Woman Who Stops Abandoning Herself

    You know what a boundary is. You recognize your people-pleasing patterns. You may even catch yourself abandoning what you need in real time. So why do you still do it? In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl, Jen Anderson talks about what happens after awareness and how you actually become the woman who stops abandoning herself. We're talking about rebuilding self-trust through small promises, learning to pause before automatically accommodating someone else, allowing other people to have their own feelings, and recognizing progress even when old patterns still show up. You'll also hear why becoming more boundaried doesn't require becoming less compassionate and why you don't have to wait until guilt disappears before choosing yourself differently. The woman you're becoming gets built in small moments when you decide you're worth listening to. Download the free Where Am I Abandoning Myself?

    Choosing Yourself Will Cost You: The Truth About Setting Boundaries

    Choosing yourself will cost you. When you've spent years being the dependable one, the helper, the peacekeeper, or the woman who always says yes, changing those patterns can feel deeply uncomfortable. Setting a healthy boundary may disappoint someone. A relationship may change. You may discover how much of your identity has become connected to being needed. In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl, Jen Anderson, Beliefs & Boundaries Specialist, explores what really happens when you begin choosing yourself. You'll hear why other people's discomfort doesn't automatically mean your boundary is wrong, how over-functioning can shape relationships, and why learning to tolerate the discomfort of change is part of rebuilding self-trust. Jen also shares a powerful client story about what happened when one woman finally stopped over-giving in a one-sided friendship, along with reflection questions to help you recognize where you may still be abandoning yourself for approval. Choosing yourself may change what feels familiar. It can also give you greater peace, clarity, self-respect, and space to hear yourself again. 📖 Download the free Choose You Reflection Guide:https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou 🌐 Learn more about Jen Anderson:https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com Connect with Jen Anderson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.jennifer.andersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jennifer.andersonTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thankfulheartscoachingEmail: thankfulheartscoaching@gmail.com If this episode resonated with you, follow Unlearning the Good Girl, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it. #SettingBoundaries #PeoplePleasing #ChoosingYourself #SelfAbandonment #HealthyBoundaries

    You're Not Overthinking... You're Avoiding a Decision | How to Build Self-Trust

    Have you ever replayed a conversation over and over, made endless pros and cons lists, or asked everyone you know for advice, only to feel just as stuck? In this episode of Embrace Your Value, trauma therapist Kristen Burris and Beliefs & Boundaries Specialist Jen Anderson explore why overthinking is often less about needing more information and more about feeling unsafe making a decision. Together, they discuss how past experiences shape the way we approach uncertainty, why perfectionism and people-pleasing keep us stuck, and how self-trust is built by taking one small step at a time. If you've been waiting until you feel completely certain before making a decision, this conversation will encourage you to trust yourself, take action, and remember that confidence is built by doing—not by waiting.

    The Grief Nobody Warns You About When You Start Healing

    In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson talks about something that catches a lot of women off guard on the healing journey: grief. Not grief over losing someone, but grief over how long you carried too much, how long you ignored yourself, and how long you believed your worth depended on what you could do for everyone else. Jen walks through why grief is part of the bridge to healing rather than a detour away from it, why so many women skip straight to fixing and stay stuck, and what it looks like to offer the old version of yourself compassion instead of criticism.

    You Don't Have to Get It Right. You Just Have to Stop Abandoning Yourself.

    In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson digs into one of the most misunderstood concepts she works with: self-trust. Most women don't say "I don't trust myself." They say "I second-guess everything" or "I don't know what I want anymore." But underneath both of those is the same quiet erosion that happens every time you override what you already know. Jen shares a personal example from the night before this episode, breaks down what self-trust actually means, and walks through journal prompts to help you identify where you've been abandoning your own voice in everyday moments.
