Season 3, Episode 1 (Part 2): Megan & Elizabeth answer the question, "Why are boundaries important?"

What IS all the fuss about boundaries and why are they important? In this episode, we'll dive into these questions. We'll help you understand what boundaries really are, what happens when you don't have them, how to get them, and how you can use them to get your time and energy back!

Join Megan Bayles Bartley, Founding Director of The Mindfulness Center, and Boundaries Expert, Elizabeth McCormack for this exciting Season! In Part 2 we look at knowing your values and how to align your values with how you live. If you value respect, you will be respectful of others and want respect from others. If someone isn't showing you respect, limiting the time and energy you give that person is setting a boundary to best take care of yourself. For those of us who are natural caretakers, people pleasers, feelers, or high empaths, this can be hard to put yourself first by taking care of yourself and putting a boundary in place between you and the other person who is disrespectful. One way to understand this is that the person who is disrespecting you if often just trying to get their needs met at your expense. They are not thinking about how their request might negatively impact you. This might be intentional and it could also be a lack of awareness.
