Ah, the famous words of Samantha Jones from Sex & The City, "I love you, but I love me more" has been the motto of my 2025. 

In today's episode, we discuss my journey with setting boundaries as someone who is an empath and overly understanding pushover. I share how I spent most of this year in slight turmoil with drama that was brought to me (and no I'm not just saying that to avoid accountability) where I had a choice to excuse behaviors just because someone was "in a bad place" or hold a mirror up to those relationships and say "I will only give you back what I'm getting and if disrespect is what I'm getting then this is the boundary that I am now setting between us." The journey hasn't been perfect, but it's been one of the most tiring albeit rewarding years of solidifying who I can really emotionally trust around me and who is forever outside the gates of my heart. Let's dive into what has helped me build and maintain boundaries in my relationship, friendships, family, and work.
