Let's talk about setting boundaries today. Because I know setting boundaries is something so many people, especially women, struggle with. And I'm certainly one of them.

Today's guest Meg Allan Cole is an expert in the field of going from people pleaser to setting healthy boundaries and I'm so excited to share her insights with you. She struggled with a chronic illness for the last 5-10 years and woke up and figured out what her priorities in life are. She realized that in order to honor them she had to learn to say no. And so she did.

We can all learn how to set healthy boundaries in order to be the person we want to be. So let's dive and start learning how to do this!

In this episode on setting healthy boundaries, we cover:

• Historical and cultural reasons why we people-please;
• Acknowledging your own boundaries;
• Strategies & specific examples on how to set healthy boundaries;
• How the patriarchy taught women to apologize all the time and how this plays into people-pleasing and setting healthy boundaries;
• Meditation;
• And so much more!
