Boundaries: Your Permission to choose

from Kind of Crushing It Hosted by Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic

Jessica and Nat unpack boundary setting beyond simply learning to say no. From over-responsibility and people-pleasing to feeling responsible for everyone and everything around you, they explore how easy it is to slip into the habit of automatically saying yes. They reflect on why healthy boundaries aren't about doing less, but about recognising that you have a choice in how you respond. You'll hear about: 1️⃣ How over-responsibility impacts your work and life 2️⃣ How to pause before you respond 3️⃣ How to make decisions intentionally If you've ever felt responsible for fixing every problem, struggled to say no, or found yourself agreeing to things you later regretted, this episode is one for you. Jessica and Nat explore practical ways to move from automatic reactions to intentional choices, while building boundaries that align with your goals and values.
