It can also give you greater peace, clarity, self-respect, and space to hear yourself again.📖 Download the free Choose You Reflection Guide:https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou🌐 Learn more about Jen Anderson:https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.comConnect with Jen AndersonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.jennifer.andersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jennifer.andersonTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thankfulheartscoachingEmail: [email protected] this episode resonated with you, follow Unlearning the Good Girl, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.#SettingBoundaries #PeoplePleasing #ChoosingYourself #SelfAbandonment #HealthyBoundaries

Have you ever replayed a conversation over and over, made endless pros and cons lists, or asked everyone you know for advice, only to feel just as stuck?In this episode of Embrace Your Value, trauma therapist Kristen Burris and Beliefs & Boundaries Specialist Jen Anderson explore why overthinking is often less about needing more information and more about feeling unsafe making a decision.Together, they discuss how past experiences shape the way we approach uncertainty, why perfectionism and people-pleasing keep us stuck, and how self-trust is built by taking one small step at a time.If you've been waiting until you feel completely certain before making a decision, this conversation will encourage you to trust yourself, take action, and remember that confidence is built by doing—not by waiting.Connect with Jen AndersonWebsite: https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.jennifer.andersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jennifer.andersonTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thankfulheartscoachingConnect with Kristen BurrisWebsite: https://www.kristenburrus.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/enlighten_servicesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/enlighten_servicesContact the Embrace Your Value PodcastEmail: [email protected]

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson talks about something that catches a lot of women off guard on the healing journey: grief. Not grief over losing someone, but grief over how long you carried too much, how long you ignored yourself, and how long you believed your worth depended on what you could do for everyone else.Jen walks through why grief is part of the bridge to healing rather than a detour away from it, why so many women skip straight to fixing and stay stuck, and what it looks like to offer the old version of yourself compassion instead of criticism.

Together, they explore people-pleasing, over-functioning, emotional responsibility, healing, self-trust, and why choosing yourself doesn't mean losing your compassion for others.If you've ever felt emotionally exhausted from carrying everyone else's needs while ignoring your own, this conversation offers encouragement, practical insight, and the reminder that you're allowed to grow into a healthier version of yourself.Resources📖 Download Jen's free reflection guide, Where Am I Abandoning Myself?https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou🌐 Learn more about Jen:https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.comConnect with Jen AndersonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.jennifer.andersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jennifer.andersonTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thankfulheartscoachingConnect with Kristen BurrisWebsite: https://www.kristenburrus.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/enlighten_servicesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/enlighten_servicesContact the Embrace Your Value PodcastEmail: [email protected]

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson digs into one of the most misunderstood concepts she works with: self-trust. Most women don't say "I don't trust myself." They say "I second-guess everything" or "I don't know what I want anymore." But underneath both of those is the same quiet erosion that happens every time you override what you already know.Jen shares a personal example from the night before this episode, breaks down what self-trust actually means, and walks through journal prompts to help you identify where you've been abandoning your own voice in everyday moments.Download the free reflection guide at www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou.Reach Jen directly at [email protected]

In this episode of Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson and trauma therapist Kristin Burris dig into something most of us experience but rarely examine: the way social media quietly shifts our mood, feeds comparison, and chips away at our confidence before we even realize it's happening. They talk about why the rabbit hole of despair starts so fast, what we're actually looking for when we reach for our phones, and what it looks like to build a healthier, more intentional relationship with the apps we use every day.This is not a conversation about deleting everything and disappearing off the grid. It's about becoming aware enough to make choices that actually serve you.Contact us at [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram    enlighten_servicesWebsite       www.kristenburrus.comFacebook    enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/@thankfulheartscoaching on [email protected] on [email protected] 

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson talks about one of the most quietly exhausting patterns she sees in women: spending so much energy filtering yourself through what other people can handle that you stop feeling safe being fully you. The fear of being too much keeps women holding back their truth, minimizing their needs, and packaging themselves into smaller, easier versions of who they really are.Jen shares her own experience with this pattern, the hidden cost of living edited, and what it looks like to start interrupting the habit of shrinking.

In this episode of Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson and trauma therapist Kristin Burris explore one of the most common patterns women experience: saying yes before they've even had a chance to think, and then feeling instant resentment once the words are out. They dig into why this happens at a nervous system level, what that resentment is actually pointing to, and what it looks like to start pausing before you commit.Jen and Kristin share real client stories, break down the difference between guilt and shame, and offer practical tools including a simple back pocket script that gives you space to check in with yourself before you answer.

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson reframes decision fatigue as something most women never see coming: the slow erosion of self-trust that happens when you spend years checking everyone else's needs before your own. It shows up as frozen thinking, constant second-guessing, and needing reassurance for choices that should feel simple.Jen shares personal stories and client moments that show exactly how this pattern builds, and what it actually takes to start trusting your own voice again, not by making perfect decisions, but by learning you can handle whatever comes next.Download the free reflection guide at www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou.

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson explains why saying no feels so physically uncomfortable for so many women, even when they know it's the healthy thing to do. It's not a confidence problem. It's a nervous system that learned, somewhere along the way, that no came with consequences.Jen walks through how yes became a protection pattern, why self-trust is rebuilt in small moments rather than big dramatic ones, and the question that can reveal where your deepest fear around boundaries actually comes from.

In this episode of Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson and trauma therapist Kristin Burris dig into one of the deepest fears women carry: the fear of disappointing someone they love. It shows up as staying too long in friendships that have expired, saying yes to things that drain you for years, and shrinking yourself to keep the peace. And it has real psychological roots that go all the way back to how safety was wired into your nervous system as a child.Jen and Kristin walk through the guilt hangover that follows a healthy boundary, what to do when people push back, the hidden cost of never letting anyone down, and three tools to start building the evidence your nervous system needs that you can disappoint someone and still be okay.Contact us at [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram    enlighten_servicesWebsite       www.kristenburrus.comFacebook    enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/@thankfulheartscoaching on [email protected] on [email protected] 

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson digs into a pattern most women don't even recognize in themselves: over-explaining. It sounds like kindness. It sounds like consideration. But most of the time it's fear, specifically the fear that your no won't be accepted unless it makes perfect sense to everyone around you.Jen breaks down why over-explaining is a form of self-abandonment, what it reinforces in your nervous system over time, and what it would look like to finally trust that your no is enough without a five-minute explanation to pattern is showing up in your own life.Download the free reflection guide at www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/chooseyou.Email Jen at [email protected]

Why do you keep doing the thing you know isn't serving you?In this episode, Jen and Kristen get honest about the six core human needs driving every pattern you can't quite explain — the overworking, the people-pleasing, the staying too long, the endless scrolling. None of it is random. All of it is meeting a need.They talk about which needs show up most in the women they work with, why naming a pattern isn't always enough to change it, and what question actually gets underneath the behavior to what's really going on.No structured lesson this week.

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson explores why so many women are emotionally exhausted all the time: they've spent years feeling responsible for everyone else's emotional state. This pattern hides inside behaviors that look like kindness, checking on everyone, fixing problems before anyone asks, softening every reaction, and absorbing tension that was never theirs to carry.Jen breaks down where this pattern comes from, what it costs you over time, and why boundaries feel so terrifying when your nervous system learned that other people being upset means you're unsafe.

Kristen Burrus and Jen Anderson discuss anger as an emotion that carries information rather than something shameful or dangerous, noting many women were conditioned to suppress it to maintain connection and be “calm” or agreeable. They explain that pushed-down anger often resurfaces as anxiety, people-pleasing, shutdown, overwhelm, resentment, or exhaustion, and that resentment commonly reflects accumulated boundary violations and chronic self-abandonment. The hosts distinguish healthy anger from destructive anger, especially for those who grew up around explosive or unpredictable behavior, and emphasize anger can signal crossed boundaries, grief, unmet needs, emotional exhaustion, powerlessness, fear, or feeling unseen. They encourage listeners to pause, get curious, and ask what feels heavy, what needs are being ignored, and what boundary needs attention, reinforcing that feeling anger is human and can support self-awareness and self-trust.If you enjoyed this episode please connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Contact us at the podcast at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson digs into the warning sign most women dismiss for years: resentment. It rarely shows up all at once. It builds slowly through automatic yeses, emotional caretaking, constant availability, and swallowed feelings until one day your nervous system is protesting and you don't even know why.Jen shares what resentment actually looks like, why it has so little to do with the people around you, and how the belief that loving means overgiving keeps so many women stuck in exhausting cycles.

Jen Anderson and trauma therapist Kristen Burrus discuss “shrinking” after Jen recalls a client saying, almost casually, “I used to have a lot of opinions,” realizing many women gradually lose access to what they think and want through small, repeated self-edits meant to reduce tension. They describe how softening responses, avoiding conflict, and managing others’ reactions can feel like safety to the nervous system in the moment but erode a sense of self over time, until silence feels like personality. Kristen distinguishes fear-based suppression from healthy discretion and maturity, and they frame the difference as chosen values versus survival strategies. They share an example of a woman who became emotionally flat after years of filtering herself for her husband, and emphasize pausing to notice unfiltered thoughts.

In this episode of Unlearning the Good Girl on Embrace Your Value, Jen Anderson gets honest about one of the most common patterns she sees in women: self-abandonment. Not the dramatic kind, the quiet kind.

Kristen Burrus interviews Jen Anderson, a beliefs and boundaries specialist, about the personal experiences that shaped her work, including her older brother’s lifelong addiction and his death in 2017, which led her to focus on helping families love without enabling. Jen explains why midlife (often the 40s and 50s) is a pivotal season for inner work, how people-pleasing is rewarded until its cost becomes exhaustion and resentment, and what limiting beliefs look like in daily life, sharing her own long-held belief of not being smart. She distinguishes kindness from self-abandonment, describes her framework “beliefs plus boundaries equals bliss,” and discusses her book, Give Your Yes a Bestie Named No. Jen outlines what coaching with her involves, who Thankful Hearts Coaching serves, and how to connect via a pathfinder’s call at thankfulheartscoaching.com.00:00 Welcome and Setup01:50 Jen’s Boundary Origin Story04:38 Why Midlife Is Pivotal06:18 People Pleasing Wake Up Call09:08 Limiting Beliefs Explained13:14 Kindness vs Self Abandonment15:37 Beliefs Boundaries Bliss17:42 Too Much and Not Enough20:19 Book Give Your Yes a Bestie Named No22:38 Reclaiming Your Voice24:18 What Coaching Looks Like26:51 Are You Ready and Who It’s For29:03 How to Connect and Next Steps30:38 Final Encouragement and Wrap UpIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected]

Jen goes off script on Embrace Your Value to reintroduce co-host and resident trauma therapist Kristen Burrus of Enlightened Services, who helps clients with trauma, addiction, and building healthy boundaries. Kristen explains why people struggle with boundaries—unclear values and not knowing how to set them—and clarifies that boundaries aren’t about controlling others, but about how you will respond. She emphasizes accountability in relationships, focusing on each person’s part, and notes that relationships are salvageable when both parties are willing to put in effort. Kristen shares practical tools for overwhelm (breathing in for three, hold for three, out for six, plus structure and routine), how mood impacts relationships, and why therapy can help if you’re considering it. She discusses choosing a therapist fit, the meaning behind “Enlightened Services,” her path into trauma work, her self-care, and her hope that listeners leave knowing they matter and have value.00:00 Welcome and Setup02:40 Why Boundaries Are Hard04:12 What Boundaries Really Mean06:10 Relationships and Accountability08:00 Repair or Let Go09:08 Healthy Relationship Balance10:13 Tools for Overwhelm11:25 Mood Impacts Everything12:27 Do I Need Therapy13:52 Finding the Right Therapist15:22 Enlightened Services Origin16:19 Why Trauma Therapy19:20 Self Care and Real Life23:53 Podcast Growth and Meaning26:11 Therapy Advice and Wrap UpIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at: [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram: enlighten_servicesWebsite: www.kristenburrus.comFacebook: enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website: https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook: @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram: @[email protected]

Jen Anderson and Kristen Burrus explore why so many smart, capable women keep waiting for “the right time” to pursue what they want—after the kids are older, finances are perfect, work calms down, or someone finally understands. They argue that these conditions are rarely fully met and that waiting often masks fear and avoidance, reinforced by beliefs that joy must be earned and that women’s desires are less legitimate than others’ needs. They explain that confidence comes after action, not before, and frame midlife dissatisfaction as a normal invitation to reevaluate who you’re becoming. The episode emphasizes reclaiming self-authorization through small, consistent steps, tolerating disappointment, and using three tools: a permission-writing prompt, naming what you’re waiting for, and one real act of self-authorization this week.00:00 What Permission Awaits03:05 Meet the Hosts03:57 Waiting for Kids06:00 Waiting for Money07:04 Waiting for Validation09:36 Fear and Avoidance12:35 Joy Must Be Earned14:28 Confidence After Action17:14 Midlife Wake Up Call19:40 Stop Waiting Start Small22:21 Three Practical Tools25:47 Permission Is Yours26:58 Final Question and GoodbyeIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

Trauma therapist Kristin Burrus and co-host Jen Anderson explore “performance mode”—the version of yourself shaped to meet others’ expectations—and what it costs to live there. They unpack how people pleasing often begins as an early survival strategy in unpredictable environments, then persists into adulthood as an automatic “audit life” of self-editing for approval. They name four common patterns: overcommitting, overexplaining boundaries, staying in outgrown roles, and saying yes out of guilt, and discuss how chronic performance can erode identity and make it hard to know what you want. They also describe what it looks like to step out of performance mode—slower, more deliberate responses, discomfort and pushback, and eventual relief—and offer three tools: the audit question, a 24-hour pause before commitments, and setting limits without explanations. The episode closes by revisiting the prompt, “If no one was watching, what would you stop doing tomorrow?” and asking what you’d start if you trusted you were enough.00:00 The No One Watching Question02:22 Meet the Hosts and Theme03:06 What Performance Mode Looks Like05:49 People Pleasing as Survival08:27 Four Patterns of Performing08:43 Overcommitting and Busyness10:16 Overexplaining Boundaries11:37 Outgrown Family Roles13:31 Guilt Driven Yeses15:30 Losing Your Sense of Self16:57 Stepping Out of Performance19:14 Three Tools to Practice19:22 Tool One Audit Question20:16 Tool Two 24 Hour Rule21:00 Tool Three Drop the Receipt22:02 Closing Questions and Wrap UpIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

Jen Anderson and Kristen Burrus explore why many women struggle to receive support even when it’s offered, using “Maya” as an example of someone overwhelmed by work, family health, and marriage yet reflexively declining help. They explain that difficulty receiving isn’t a character flaw but often a learned adaptation, including patterns from being a parentified child, being praised for being low-maintenance, and tying value to usefulness. They discuss nervous system discomfort with unfamiliar care, the fawn response, and the “capable woman trap,” where competence becomes identity and vulnerability feels unsafe. They outline costs to health, relationships, and self-worth, then share three practices: a two-second pause, saying “thank you,” and starting small while tracking it, ending with a weekly reflection on noticing and gently examining your first reaction to support.00:00 Maya’s Breaking Point02:15 Why Receiving Is Hard03:16 Parentified Child Pattern04:53 Nervous System and Fawn06:40 Capable Woman Trap09:09 Hidden Costs of Doing It Alone11:10 Three Tools to Practice Receiving13:33 Worthy Without Earning15:50 Weekly Reflection Prompt16:51 Door Holding Example17:57 Final Takeaways and GoodbyeIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

The host welcomes Kim Parkinson, a podcast growth coach and founder of KP Creative Media, who helps spiritually aligned women use aligned podcast strategy to be seen and heard. Kim shares how childhood experiences around money—working a paper route without pay and being shamed over 20 cents—shaped long-term feelings of unworthiness and financial struggle, later echoed during a multi-year family lawsuit where her support went uncompensated by some relatives. Through journaling, speaking things out, therapy, and recognizing her strength in using her voice, she’s begun taking ownership of her finances, including letting her bookkeeper go to stay engaged. Kim then describes her path from owning a craft store and hosting a local TV show to podcast production and becoming a certified podcast growth coach, including tactics like organic discoverability, guesting, and monthly “activations,” plus advice for localized businesses using pillar episodes and targeted Spotify ads.00:00 Welcome and Introductions02:32 Kim’s Money Wound Story05:08 Journaling to Heal Worth08:07 Taking Charge of Finances11:09 Voice as a Healing Tool13:43 Therapy and Safe Support15:17 Voxer and Gratitude Practice17:36 Becoming a Podcast Growth Coach22:49 Client Wins and Results24:05 Podcasting for Local Businesses30:05 Where to Find Kim31:29 Final Thanks and SubscribeIf you want to learn more about Kim, you can find her at the links below:Website: https://kpcreativemedia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.parkinson1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kpcreativemedia/If you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

This episode explores “chronic responsibility,” a common pattern where many women become the dependable one who makes decisions, manages logistics, and carries the mental load at home, work, and in relationships. While this often looks like strength and capability, Jen and Kristen explain that constant responsibility quietly affects the nervous system, leading to hypervigilance, reduced emotional and mental capacity, and increasing overwhelm, irritability, and non-restorative rest. They emphasize that capability doesn’t mean the nervous system can carry endless strain, and that shrinking capacity is the body’s protective response to pressure without relief. Rebuilding capacity comes from restoring balance through support, boundaries, pauses, and rest. Listeners are given a weekly reflection challenge to notice responsibilities that may not be theirs alone and consider small ways to share, delay, or soften them.00:00 Naming Chronic Responsibility02:41 How Capacity Shrinks05:37 Hidden Signs of Overload06:41 Why We Skip Rest08:05 Mental Load Example10:15 Strength Versus Strain12:52 Rebuilding Capacity Slowly14:00 Weekly Reflection Challenge15:52 You Are Not Alone16:48 Closing ThoughtsIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

Hosts Jen Anderson and Kristen Burrus discuss how many women reach goals yet feel pressure instead of relief, noting that success does not automatically create nervous system safety. Because achievement is external but safety is internal, a nervous system conditioned to equate belonging, approval, or stability with performance may become more vigilant after success, thinking it must maintain, prove, or protect what was achieved. This explains why accomplished women can still feel anxiety, restlessness, perfectionism, and exhaustion, especially when rest feels like falling behind; they emphasize that rest is not earned. They explain the nervous system may not update when circumstances change and needs lived experiences of safety. Listeners are invited to reflect on whether accomplishments bring calm or immediate pressure, and to practice pausing, breathing, and acknowledging success without rushing to the next demand.If you enjoyed this episode please connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Contact us at the podcast at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

In this week's episode, Jen and Kristen talk about how personal growth often disrupts relationships because changing internally alters how you show up, such as speaking up, setting boundaries, and honoring your needs. Jen and Kristen discuss how relationships settle into familiar, often unspoken roles (helper, peacekeeper, accommodator), and when one person changes, the established dynamic is destabilized, prompting confusion, pushback, guilt, fear, or grief in others. They emphasize that discomfort doesn’t mean growth is wrong; it signals a transition requiring renegotiated boundaries, patience, grace, and nervous system regulation. Growth can reveal imbalances like over-functioning, rescuing, or constant availability, and may either deepen relationships built on mutual respect or naturally shift those sustained by unhealthy patterns. They conclude by inviting reflection on one relationship that feels different and encouraging viewers to share their experiences.If you enjoyed this episode please connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Contact us at the podcast at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

Embrace Your Value | Boundaries, Self Worth & Limiting Beliefs for WomenBurnout is a capacity issue—not laziness or a lack of discipline—explaining that it happens when ongoing demands exceed physical, emotional, relational, and mental resources, especially for women carrying heavy mental and emotional loads. Jen and Kristen discuss how mislabeling burnout fuels shame and pushes people to override limits, and emphasize that you can love your work and still be depleted; burnout is the nervous system asking for support, recovery, and boundaries. They highlight that rest is a right, not something to earn, and that building capacity comes from honoring limits, doing less without self-judgment, and refusing to carry others’ “emotional garbage.” A gentle 7-day challenge invites listeners to ask daily, “What is my capacity today?”, notice body responses, take one small act of capacity-respect, and reflect on what changes when exhaustion is treated as information.00:00 Burnout Not Laziness02:12 Capacity Fluctuates Daily03:33 You Can Still Care04:20 Emotional Load Reality06:22 Rest Is A Right07:51 Boundaries And Ownership10:22 Resistance To Slowing12:00 Seven Day Capacity Check14:21 Small Acts Of Respect16:33 Sustainable Healing WrapIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

Many women don’t struggle to identify their boundaries, but feel anxious after stating them, often overexplaining to soften the impact and restore a sense of safety. Kristen and Jen describe this as a nervous system response rooted in early conditioning that clarity wasn’t enough to maintain connection, so saying no can trigger scanning for danger, disappointment, or withdrawal. They emphasize that understanding from others doesn’t equal safety and that overexplaining can be dysregulating by pushing people into fight-or-flight and into managing others’ reactions. The solution isn’t better wording but building capacity to tolerate discomfort and stay present without earning approval. They offer an “after-boundary regulation” grounding exercise and invite listeners to notice what happens in their body right after saying no.00:00 Why Boundaries Feel Hard03:32 Explaining as Safety06:04 Misunderstanding Triggers07:51 Build Nervous System Capacity10:03 Pause and Ground Yourself11:52 After Boundary Exercise16:25 Reflect and Wrap UpIf you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected] 

This week on Embrace Your Value, Kristen Burrus and Jen Anderson discuss why many women can intellectually know their worth yet still experience panic, tightness, guilt, or freezing when setting boundaries, speaking up, or saying no. They explain the difference between intellectual insight and embodied safety, emphasizing that the nervous system often reacts to past patterns of conflict, rejection, or conditional worth rather than the present moment. The episode reframes body reactions as protection and a normal part of integration, encouraging listeners to shift from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what does my body need to feel safer?” They share how embodied worth is built through small, lived moments—soft no’s, not overexplaining, staying present through discomfort—and offer a brief grounding practice: noticing physical support, naming three things you see, finding one neutral spot in the body, observing the breath, and allowing a slightly longer exhale. They encourage returning to the practice after difficult conversations and noticing even a 1% increase in settling, then invite listeners to subscribe, share, and provide feedback.00:00 Welcome + The Big Question: Why Your Body Panics Even When You Know Your Worth02:41 Insight vs. Embodied Safety: Your Nervous System Learned Different Rules03:37 Your Body Is Asking “Is This Safe?” (Not “Is This Reasonable?”)05:10 Quick Body Check-In: Notice the Sensations Without Fixing Them06:03 Why Boundaries Trigger Panic: Conditional Worth & “Are We Allowed to Do This?”09:47 Integration in Real Time: Small “No’s” That Teach Your Body It’s Safe11:24 Awareness as the Doorway: Let the Reaction Be There + Breathe12:38 Guided Grounding Practice: Support, Senses, Neutral Spot, Breath16:16 Wrap-Up: Come Back to This Practice + Subscribe/ShareConnect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected]
