In this week’s episode of Sacred Healing & Enchantment, I’m getting real about boundaries, triggers, and repair—and the difference between what’s actually harmful and what’s simply uncomfortable.
Not everything that activates you is toxic—sometimes it’s an invitation to grow capacity.
I share personal stories and how I’ve seen clients misuse boundaries in the past, how to recognize when we’re setting them from self-responsibility versus avoidance, and why true healing happens through repair, not disconnection.
You’ll also learn how to work with your nervous system and shadow to expand your ability to hold discomfort, communicate cleanly, and return to alignment when conflict arises.
Tune in for a conversation that will help you cultivate deeper self-awareness, embodied leadership, and relationships that can weather the messy moments and come into alignment stronger.
