EP 16: Why you need to set healthy boundaries

Have you ever felt controlled by the needs and emotions of others? Do you long to be a woman who honors her values and communicates your needs clearly and kindly? You CAN be accepted for who you are.  You CAN ensure you are in relationships when your needs matter.  Your values CAN become guiding lights in your life.  Your relationships CAN increase your energy and improve the narrative of your life.  And you can do this by setting healthy boundaries in every area of your life. Too many move through life with unhealthy boundaries.  The needs of others are constantly clamoring for attention leaving their energy and time drained by the all-consuming needs of others.  We can’t continue to give away what we need while others take and take and take to have what they need. I’ve spent most of my life believing that if I met the needs of others they would love me and never leave me.  I poured out all of my soul, time, and energy into what others demanded from me.  It became a mutually manipulative game that ended in disaster. Please benefit from my experience and make a choice to create healthy boundaries now so you don’t follow in my steps.  Thanks to therapy, loving friends, and a lot of hard work I have learned to practice healthy boundaries.  There is a simple process for doing this that you can follow as well.  It isn’t easy, but it is simple, and it will radically change how you move through life.
