52. 🥰READY to Speak up for your Needs! Reclaiming Your Voice

Episode 52. Reclaiming your VOICESOOOOOO passionate about this one!Thinking back on my journey to getting more of the things I love back into my life after having children, I remember it starting with some inner work.I first had to make time to get quiet.  To get the body quiet, to get the mind quiet so I could really listen in to what it was I needed.And part of it was remembering what was important to me in my life.  Sometimes we get so easily swept away in our parenting duties, hanging out way too far in the future, and forget about what it is we need now.I think once you get more clear on what it is that you need in your life, you can better start to speak this out to those close to you, friends and family.And boy is it messy to begin with.If you have kept quiet in your space for most of your life, talking about your needs to others can be a bit confronting at first.But as you heard Mel chat about in the episode, her son is hearing what she is doing to make things happen in her life, and as she continues to hold her boundary around it, her family is now very encouraging of her choices for spending time doing the things she loves.The key to understanding who gets to hold the boundary is knowing who this is most important too?When we want to bring something into our life, we have to be the one to take responsibility for it.  And often the first step to this when we live with other people is to let them know just how important it is to you, and why it’s important to you, and to even get brave enough to ask for their help to make it happen.It’s surprising how much support you will receive once you speak out your needs.Then it’s up to you to hold the boundary.  It’s up to you to protect your time.The best advice I can give you right now is to just give it a go.  Get quiet, and get clear on what it is you need, then trust yourself to speak up and make it happen.Until next time LIVE YOUR PASSION,Love Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568
