Stop Abandoning Yourself: The Power of Boundaries

In this deeply transformative interview, Barb Nangle invites us into the raw, unfiltered truth of her journey through addiction, shame, and ultimately, self-reclamation. What unfolds is not just a story of recovery, but a powerful exploration of what it means to come home to yourself after years of self-abandonment.Through vulnerability and lived experience, Barb reveals how storytelling becomes a bridge—from isolation to connection, from secrecy to healing. She challenges the quiet narratives that keep shame alive and reframes recovery as more than sobriety—it’s the dismantling of old survival patterns and the rebuilding of a life rooted in truth, self-awareness, and compassion.At the heart of this conversation is the profound role of boundaries—not as rigid walls, but as acts of self-trust and internal safety. Barb illuminates the often-overlooked concept of internal boundaries, showing how they form the foundation for emotional resilience, authentic relationships, and lasting transformation.This episode is both a mirror and a guide—offering practical tools, hard-earned wisdom, and gentle invitations to examine where you may be overgiving, people-pleasing, or silencing your own needs. It’s a call to move beyond shame, to honor your story, and to step into a more empowered, whole, and authentic version of yourself.Barb Nangle - Higher Power Coaching and Consulting | LinkedInPodcast - Higher Power Coaching & Consulting
