367: How to set healthy boundaries - with Nancy Levin (ALL-STAR)
Description
We are continuing our all-star season, bringing back some of my favorite conversations from the vaults of The Simplifiers Podcast and sharing them once again. I think that this one (which originally aired in June 2020) with author Nancy Levin fits so well inside the theme of “self-discipline” that we are exploring this month.
So, how do you set healthy boundaries in life, especially if you feel like yours get trampled on over and over again? In my mind, boundaries are in fact, one of the very best ways to cultivate self-discipline, helping you keep your eye on the prize of what you want most in life.
Therefore, it’s a delight to feature this all-episode once again. Through her books, Nancy helps overachieving people-pleasers learn to live life on their own terms. Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Nancy Levin and she’s simplifying how to set healthy boundaries.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
-
Why some women struggle to define and uphold their boundaries, personally or professionally
-
How to begin the process of defining your boundaries by writing a “boundary script”
-
What to do if you’re attempting to conquer codependent behaviors
-
The steps to creating your own “boundary pyramid,” a simple tool to help you set healthy boundaries
-
How to say ‘no’ effectively and stick with it
…and ultimately, understanding what your “bottom-line boundary” is and how to set it and communicate it with others, <span style= "font-size: 13pt; font-family: Lato,sans-serif; color: #2d2f31; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-
