Boundaries Without Guilt — Yes, Even With Your Family
Episode Overview
In this soul-deep, nervous-system-informed episode, we explore one of the most emotionally charged and life-changing aspects of healing: boundaries — especially the ones we struggle to hold with the people who raised us, love us, or expect the most from us. If you’re a sensitive, intuitive, heart-led woman who has done the mindset work, the therapy, the journaling, and still finds yourself saying “yes” when your body screams “no” — this conversation is for you. This episode guides you through the science, soul, and somatics of boundary setting so you can feel safe, clear, and whole — even when guilt arises.
