  1. Follow Your Truth

    Apr 15

    Follow Your Truth

    Have you ever realized that you’re a No to every option before you, and then found yourself feeling aligned with something so unconventional as to be almost terrifying? Well, that’s what happened to me recently, and for that and several other reasons, this is the final episode of this season of this podcast. Tune in to learn more about my Nos, my big scary Yes, and a few other factors that went into the decision to put this podcast on hiatus – as well as the virtues of self-love, the benefits of self-connection, and the occasional discomfort of alignment. (Of course, the particulars of my resources, responsibilities, and resonance are my own, and I am in no way suggesting that anyone else’s path should look like mine.)

  2. Healing Into Boundaries

    Apr 8

    Healing Into Boundaries

    Yay! My friend (and former client) Alina is back to geek out with me on the inside job that is Boundaries :) As she’s been delving into her own inner work through 12-step programs, she’s gained some profound personal insights. In this conversation, we explore developing self-awareness and healing through embodiment. We look at the various pitfalls of enmeshed codependence, as well as the impactful distinction of “Circle of Control” vs “Circle of Concern”, and helpful definitions of “Personal Responsibility” and “Interpersonal Accountability”. We also get into the necessity of shifting from an external orientation to rooting our safety and security within ourselves, and the importance of being the “helpful lighthouse”, rather than the dysfunctional savior. It’s a deep and candid examination of the healing journey from codependent to boundaried – and if you’d like some additional resources, visit https://BoundariesThatFeelGood.com for a free guide that covers my signature GATES Method, some powerful perspectives, and a few simple scripts to help you stay boundaried and connected.

  3. Having Your Own Back

    Apr 1

    Having Your Own Back

    Often harder than saying No, is sticking to it – especially when we receive pushback (begging, downplaying, questioning, or guilting). It’s so natural to prioritize connection, but at the cost of disconnecting from ourselves, it’s not worth it in the long run. That’s why the final step of the GATES Method is Steward your precious resources. We only have so much time, energy, attention (etc) to give – we have to treat these as valuable as any other finite asset (think: diamonds, gold, clean water), so that we have enough to share with the people and projects we care most about. Plus, the more consistently we manage our resources responsibly and uphold our boundaries respectfully, the more trust and safety we build in our relationships – with others as well as ourselves! To access a full overview of the GATES Method, as well as some powerful perspectives and helpful scripts, visit https://BoundariesThatFeelGood.com and download the free guide to your healthier boundaries and more loving relationships.

  5. Saying No with Openness

    Mar 18

    Saying No with Openness

    What if saying No didn’t have to feel so tight? And you didn’t feel compelled to be overly apologetic (“I’m so so sorry!”) or harshly abrasive (“How could you even ask me that?!)? On now to the E of the GATES Method: Express your No without disconnecting – let’s find out what comes after we’ve grounded within, run a quick capacity assessment, and reminded ourselves to trust! The great news is that we can communicate our boundaries AND hold the door open for connection. We can stay connected to ourselves and each other. And in this episode, I share about some of my most transformative interactions with healthily boundaried people, and my favorite technique for turning down an offer or request. For even more helpful tools and insights, go to https://BoundariesThatFeelGood.com and download a free guide that will unlock a whole new level of boundaried relating for you.

  7. Creating Safety & Trust

    Mar 4

    Creating Safety & Trust

    You know, it’s interesting how often we “rescue” people, instead of actually helping them. And it’s a shame how much we violate our own boundaries in the process. Continuing with this solo miniseries on the GATES Method, we’re digging into the T this episode, which is: Trust in the other’s ability to manage. Even after grounding within and assessing our capacity, we often still need the reminder to empower others in their problem-solving and/or coping. And for a lot of us, we also need to strengthen our ability to handle the discomfort of other people’s disappointment – so we don’t abandon ourselves. Both of these patterns stem from our culture’s normalization of enmeshed codependence. But when we empower our compassion and honor our own boundaries, in a way that honors the other person’s sovereignty, we actually create in incredible amount of trust and safety – so tune in to learn more and gain some loving tools for enhancing your relationships. If you want a more comprehensive breakdown of the GATES Method, hit up https://BoundariesThatFeelGood.com where you can download a free guide to get you started on your journey of healing into boundaries.

    Boundaries vs Rules

    Hello friend! I’m delighted to introduce you to this week’s guest, Chris Sawey.

To learn more about what Chris is up to, check out https://MensAlaskaProject.org or @mensalaskaproject on Instagram; you can also find his poetry on IG @the_wildernesspoet If you’re ready to begin healing into boundaries, visit https://BoundariesThatFeelGood.com and download a free guide to honoring your truth without disconnecting or people-pleasing.
