Episode 20: How to Set Healthy Boundaries If the word “no” makes you sweat or you’ve ever found yourself saying “yes” when every cell in your body wanted to scream “absolutely not,” this episode of Gut Feelings: Life Unfiltered is for you. Dr. Jen and Dr. Melissa are getting real about what it takes to set healthy boundaries without the guilt, shame, or second-guessing. We’re unpacking the deep-rooted patterns — perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment — that keep so many women stuck in cycles of over-giving and overwhelm. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why boundaries are self-care, not selfish — and how they protect your nervous system, hormones, and overall health. The signs your boundaries need a tune-up — from constant resentment to chronic fatigue. Simple, practical scripts and strategies for saying “no” (or “yes” with intention) with confidence and compassion. How to reconnect with your values and use them as a compass for creating a life that feels aligned and ease-filled. By the end of this conversation, you’ll feel empowered to take up space and create relationships, routines, and environments that actually support your healing and your joy.
