I’m pumped to welcome my new friend, Amy Green Smith, onto the podcast today! I honestly feel she’s like my new best friend - she is SO freaking cool, and offers a very unique perspective on the topic of people pleasing (especially recovering people pleasers - I know there are many of us out there)!

In today’s episode, we cover crucial topics like people pleasing, unshakable boundaries, communicating with power, cultivating self-worth, and more. Boundaries are one of those things that can feel pretty intimidating (to both people enforcing and receiving them), but they are extremely important when it comes to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’. Taking a three-pronged approach (like Amy recommends) can be incredibly beneficial when you’re ready to get serious about your boundaries and actually implement them (the follow through is key here). The world has plenty of badass, intelligent women who are incredibly brilliant, but they tend to doubt themselves, and feel like they don’t have ‘enough’ to offer. Contrary to what society had led us to believe, we ARE allowed to feel however the heck we want to, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed or ‘less than’ for our unique life decisions.

In this episode, we cover:

• What boundaries are + why they are incredibly important in regards to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’
• Why you should not allow your silence to make you a liar + using Amy’s three-pronged approach for setting boundaries when you need to have those tough conversations
• The detrimental impact that comes when you lose yourself and who you’re really meant to be, simply to fit in and please everyone around you
• Learning to cultivate your value + genuinely believing that you ARE allowed to feel however you do, regardless of what others think 
• Taking inventory of who you’re willing/able to have difficult conversations with + practicing kindness and assertiveness when speaking with others
• Letting go of societal pressures when it comes to your health & body as you age + continually prioritizing your relationship with your partner
