This episode is for any mom who has ever said "yes" to a playdate when she was already exhausted, stayed quiet to keep the peace, or worried that saying "no" would make her unlikable.
Shawna and Cara share their own struggles with people-pleasing and dive into what boundaries really are…
Boundaries are NOT walls of anger, but gentle bridges to protect your peace.
Join us for a validating chat that will leave you feeling empowered to honor your own needs.
TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):
A boundary isn't about demanding someone else change; it's an agreement you make with yourself about what you will do to protect your peace.
It's normal to feel like setting a boundary is a huge, dramatic event on the inside, even if it’s just a simple, quiet statement on the outside.
Inspired by Brené Brown, we discuss how true compassion comes from integrity, and that requires boundaries to prevent resentment from building.
If someone who benefits from you not having boundaries suddenly calls you "difficult" for setting one, it's often a sign that manipulation was in the mix.
What is one small boundary you could set this week to protect your energy, even if it feels a little scary?
Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this. You’re Mom Enough!
