Not a Stop Sign, But a Fueling Station: Can’t Run On Fumes
from The Ideal Identity · host Arshia Tousi
I’ve always operated with an over-abundance of care, finding my greatest purpose in making sure others feel seen and supported. But I’ve learned the hard way that a heart with no limits eventually becomes limited.In this episode, I’m reframing what it means to say no. For too long, I viewed setting boundaries as "fixing a flaw," but I’ve come to realize that it’s actually about protecting a gift. I’m always one to show up, but the truth is that I can't be there for anyone else if I’m gasping for air myself. A boundary isn’t a stop sign to keep going—it’s simply a fueling station to do so.Join me as I open up about voicing my own needs, and why choosing myself first is the only way I can keep choosing others.
