Hey, Podsters!  We are back, and we are all about boundaries this week!  Right in time for Thanksgiving...



I am beyond thrilled to welcome back the amazing Barb Nangle; Boundary Boss, for today’s episode and buckle up, Podsters because we are diving head first into ALL THINGS BOUNDARIES. 



Such as:

Why boundaries are so important any time, and specifically during the holiday season.



As you know, boundaries have been a game-changer for me, and when Barb was here last time – I could not keep up with your incredible feedback.  So, I invited her back, and together we are hosting a Boundary Bootcamp next week. That’s right – if you find yourself wanting more after listening today, or if you already KNOW you want more – we are setting you up to replace that holiday fear with holiday cheer.



Why are we doing this? Well, setting boundaries, especially during the holidays, can be challenging.  Today we unpack why people find it so hard to establish limits. Guilt, shame, family expectations—these are the ongoing boundary struggles.



And, bonus! We share our own personal experiences when establishing boundaries, including Barb's huge realization during her 12-step recovery journey. She discovered that setting boundaries isn't about controlling others, as changing someone else is beyond your control. Boundaries are about establishing how YOU will live.  What YOU will accept and how you will communicate what is and is not ok.  That responsibility lies with you.



Did you know it’s okay to completely opt out of family gatherings?   And, you can set a time limit on how willing you are to participate in the gathering. 



Here’s the thing:  YOU get to decide what is best for you.  In this episode we have a brief role play where I get to challenge Barb as our most difficult relative might also do…and she handles it like a BOSS.



Amazing.  Am I right?



The holidays are a time when many of us feel obligated to let go of our own boundaries for fear of what other people will think and feel. If this sounds like you – here’s one thing you can do to make this easier.   Be quick and be kind with your boundaries; be polite, and offer alternatives when “NO” is not an option.



The key thing we want you to remember here is to focus on yourself. It’s okay to seek approval and let’s also ensure you are approving of how you live YOUR life first.



Boundaries are about self-love, not controlling others.



So, if you're navigating the holiday chaos, join us on November 15th for the Boundary Bootcamp. It's time to reclaim your holidays, Podsters!
