The Power of NOPE: Setting Boundaries Without the Guilt
In this eye-opening episode of "Courage to Heal," host Anna welcomes Suzanne Culberg, the self-proclaimed "Nope coach" who specializes in helping over-givers and people pleasers set healthy boundaries and prioritize themselves.
Suzanne shares practical wisdom on:
• How to start setting boundaries (hint: don't begin with family and friends!)
• Practical strategies for dealing with pushback when you establish new boundaries
• The telling signs of chronic people-pleasing and how it differs from genuine kindness
• Why rescuing others from natural consequences prevents their growth
With her straight-talking approach and relatable examples, Suzanne explains how proper boundaries teach others how to treat us.
Whether you struggle with over-explaining your "no," ghosting people to avoid conflict, or feeling responsible for others' feelings, this conversation provides actionable advice to help you put yourself at the top of your to-do list—without the guilt.
