Description

If you've ever felt guilty for setting limits or exhausted from repeating the same boundary over and over again…you’re not alone! And you’re not doing it wrong 💕


In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, we’re talking about the often-unseen emotional labor of parenting: setting and holding boundaries with our kids. As a mom myself, I know it’s hard work. And as a parent coach and parent educator, I know it’s possibly the most important work we’ll do as moms. So please tune in! 


We’ll cover:

- Why boundaries are a form of love and safety

- Two harmful myths that make boundaries feel even harder

- A 3-step process for setting boundaries that actually stick

- What to do when your child resists (because they will)


If you’re trying to raise emotionally healthy kids without losing yourself, this episode will give you the encouragement and tools to keep going.


Whether your kids are 5 or 35, this episode will help you. If you’re ready to stop wavering, stop over-explaining, and start feeling more CONFIDENT as a mom, this episode is for you. 


Thanks for being the type of person who listens to shows like this! 💝
