Grab your cozy socks and your favorite drink, because we’re getting real about something that trips up so many of us recovering people-pleasers: boundaries. In this super raw and honest episode, I’m spilling a story I’ve never fully shared before (yep, it's awkward, messy, and a little hilarious too) about my journey from not-even-knowing-what-boundaries-were to finally figuring out how to stand up for myself—without burning everything down. I open up about messy friendships, uncomfortable confrontations, and learning the hard way how to differentiate between boundaries and walls. Plus, I dive into how a simple whiteboard from my therapist forever shifted my understanding of boundaries. Spoiler: boundaries aren't about shutting people out — they’re about letting people in, safely. If you’ve ever found yourself bending over backwards, terrified of disappointing others, or caught in that exhausting cycle of people-pleasing, this episode is your permission slip to take your power back (with compassion). We’ll chat business boundaries, personal boundaries, and the sneaky ways we self-sabotage. And of course, I overshare my way through all of it, as only The Anxious Creative can.
