Why Setting Boundaries Feels Uncomfortable

from Respectfully Gabby · host Gabby Padron

Ever felt gross or guilty after setting a boundary? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving deep into why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable—especially if you grew up as a chronic people-pleaser. I’ll walk you through what a real boundary actually sounds like (hint: it’s not a threat or an ultimatum), how to set them without spiraling into guilt, and how to start unlearning the toxic belief that being “nice” means sacrificing your needs.If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, or felt resentful after giving too much, this one’s for you.Way Too Wifey Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBN2NS9PWORK WITH ME: https://stan.store/respectfullygabbyFollow for more on social media: www.instagram.com/respectfullygabby www.tiktok.com/@respectfullygabby
