Ep. 17- No More Games: Confronting Self-Sabotage Head-On
In this episode, we confront the tricky terrain of self-sabotage head-on. Self-sabotage isn't just about making mistakes; it's about undermining our own success and well-being. We explore how deep-seated beliefs like fear, low self-esteem, or learned behaviors can trigger these patterns, affecting our relationships, careers, and overall fulfillment. By recognizing these origins, we take the first step toward rewriting our stories and reclaiming our power. It all starts with you—prioritizing self-care, maintaining a positive headspace, and curating a supportive inner circle. I introduce the 3 Steps to Re-direct: Notice, Name, Refocus, empowering you to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors. Remember, change doesn't happen overnight; it's a process of intentional growth and repetition. By focusing on cultivating new beliefs aligned with our goals, we pave the way for a more authentic and joyful life.

Ep. 16: The Lifecycle of An Abandoned Boundary; and How To Get Out Of It.
In episode 16 of the Boundaries Unleashed podcast, we dive into the intricacies of the Abandoned Boundary Cycle (ABC) and explore how to break free from its grip. Setting healthy boundaries requires a solid foundation of unconditional self-love, awareness of our needs, effective communication skills, and resilience. When we lack these elements, we often find ourselves stuck in people-pleasing behaviors, unable to establish boundaries effectively. The ABC consists of four distinct phases: Activation, Hope, Abandonment, and Resignation. We experience a boundary breach, hope for change through subtle hints or gestures, eventually abandon our needs to avoid conflict or criticism, and finally resign ourselves to the situation. Breaking this cycle demands intentional pattern interruption—whether through honest self-assessment, seeking support from friends or mentors, or acquiring new communication skills. By fostering self-love and nurturing our needs, we can empower ourselves to establish healthy boundaries and embrace a reality that aligns with our values. If you're struggling with boundary setting, don't hesitate to reach out and start a conversation—it could be the first step towards a transformative change. WAYS WE CAN CONNECT!

Ep. 15- Celebrating Joy Amidst Grief; the Power of AND
In this episode we embrace life's complexities by navigating the beautiful duality of joy and sorrow. Life can be tricky, often requiring us to balance conflicting emotions with nuance and self-compassion. We discuss the importance of living in the "AND," where we can celebrate new beginnings while grieving significant losses simultaneously, acknowledging the full spectrum of human experiences. Throughout the episode, I challenge societal norms that promote binary thinking, emphasizing the beauty of experiencing joy and sorrow together. By embracing authenticity and self-love, we can empower ourselves to honor our true emotions and needs, even if they differ from societal expectations. Ultimately, I encourage you to give yourself permission to feel deeply and authentically, finding strength in vulnerability and discovering beauty in life's diverse emotions and experiences.

Ep. 9- Time Thief: How to Reclaim Your Most Precious Asset
In today's discussion, we dive deep into the crucial topic of Boundaries We Hold With Ourselves - TIME. If you're someone constantly battling the clock, always running short on time, and struggling with lateness, you're not alone. Juggling responsibilities, including quality time with family, work, social life, and self-care, often feels like walking a tightrope. We explore the concept of personal boundaries aligned with values and the difficulties in executing them based on ever-changing circumstances. If you have people-pleasing tendencies, saying 'No' becomes a challenge, leading to chronic busyness and overcommitment. Ever found yourself chronically late, losing track of time, or stuck in a perpetual state of over-scheduling? Join Vicki as she discusses the reasons why many of us feel disconnected with time, exploring both external factors beyond our control and personal responsibility in learning time management skills.

Ep. 8- Boldly Unpopular: Navigating the Seas of Disapproval
Welcome to Episode 8: Boldly Unpopular: Navigating the Seas of Disapproval. In today's episode, we dive into the often overlooked third phase of setting boundaries for the first time – the Recovery and Acclimation Phase. We live in a world where decisions are questioned, convictions are tested, and not everyone will understand the importance of your choices. This phase is uncomfortable, often leading to a backslide in boundaries or preventing future ones due to the fear of disapproval. As recovering people-pleasers, the discomfort of being challenged or disliked can feel like the end of the world. We explore the mental and emotional challenges, including self-judgment, the fight/flight/freeze response, and the pervasive feeling of being a "horrible person" for having needs. I discuss practical strategies to navigate discomfort, such as having a trusted partner for support, learning self-management and resiliency skills, and strengthening your spiritual game. By intentionally accepting being boldly unpopular, you can move through disapproval with confidence. If you're resonating with this episode and realizing you don't have a plan for boundary setting, reach out to me to start a conversation and explore the possibilities together.

Ep. 7: Spiritual GPS: Recognizing Signals from Intuition and Guides
Welcome to Episode 7 of Boundaries Unleashed – today, we're diving deep into the realm of Spiritual GPS, exploring the signals from our intuition and spirit guides that guide us through life's twists and turns. We kick off by delving into the unseen forces – the spiritual team that operates on astral and causal planes, aiding us in understanding our soul missions and setting boundaries. It's a journey into the mystical while emphasizing the importance of self-care encompassing the spiritual self. We then explore the diverse forms of spiritual signals from intuition and spirit guides, ranging from angel numbers and random occurrences to inner voices and body sensations. These signals, like repeating numbers or out-of-the-blue occurrences, are believed to be messages from a higher source. I share how we can leverage these signals to navigate tough decisions and set boundaries effectively and some daily practices to connect with intuition and spirit guides.
