Why Setting Boundaries Feels So Hard (and How to Start Anyway)

Love Your Life Show: Personal Growth, Mindset, + Habits for Busy Moms

Do you ever find it easier to just keep doing what you’re doing rather than what’s best for you?
Do you hear about boundaries and nod along like, makes sense, but when it comes to opening your mouth you talk yourself out of it?
Or maybe you’re like me, you’d say yes when you want to say no, and then feel like no one understands how much I’m doing and how tired I am?

Today on the Love Your Life Show, I’m here to reassure you that you’re not alone and the solution isn’t as far away as you think. There’s a tiny piece that most of the boundary experts on instagram and tiktok are missing that, once you learn it, makes all of this feel much less hard.

In this episode, I'm digging into why setting boundaries feels so hard for so many of us, even those listeners who grew up in the most loving and supportive homes.

As women, and especially as recovering people-pleasers and codependents, we often fall into a pattern of keeping the peace—on the outside—while we’re boiling inside. This episode is a warm and honest invitation to explore that pattern with compassion. I’ll help you see where this behavior started, why it made sense at the time, and how it’s costing you now. Most importantly, I’ll share the missing piece that will help you begin speaking up for yourself—without blowing up your life or your relationships.

You don’t have to go from silence to shouting. You just need to begin. If you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself and start building stronger, more honest relationships, this one’s for you. ⭐️
