Ever finally say NO to something... and then spend the next three hours feeling like a terrible person?

Because apparently, setting a boundary also comes with an emotional hangover. 😂

"Was I rude?"
"Should I explain myself?"
"Should I just do it anyway?"

FRIENDS. WE ALREADY SAID NO. WHY ARE WE STILL NEGOTIATING?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

In Episode 61, we're talking about the guilt that comes with disappointing people, the pressure to always be available, and why doing what's right for you doesn't always feel good.

Because here's something worth remembering...

Someone can be disappointed by your boundary without being mistreated by it.

And sometimes choosing yourself is simply saying no... and having the courage to leave it there.

🍁 This week's Runaway Destination: We're escaping somewhere cozy for crisp mountain air, charming inns, maple treats, and absolutely no pressure to do it all. Tune in to find out where!

🤍 A little scheduling note: I'm taking some time off, so Episode 62 will drop Friday, November 6, instead of our usual Monday. And yes, the irony of taking a break after an episode about boundaries is not lost on me. 😂

I spent years wishing I had more time to myself. So tell me why, now that I finally have some... I feel guilty enjoying it?!

I'll be sitting there, drinking my tea, minding my own business...

And suddenly my brain goes, "Shouldn't we be doing something?"

FRIENDS. CAN WE JUST BE HAPPY FOR FIVE MINUTES?! 😂

In Episode 60, we're checking in on why peace can feel so uncomfortable when it's exactly what we've been working toward.

The guilt of slowing down. The pressure to stay productive. And our ridiculous ability to turn free time into another to-do list.

Because here's the thing...

Feeling uncomfortable with peace doesn't mean you need to create another problem.

Ever leave a situation that was stressing you the hell out... only to realize you're still living by its rules?

The constant urgency. The overexplaining. The guilt when you're not busy. The feeling that you should always be doing more.

Friends... WHO ARE WE REPORTING TO?! 😂

In this episode, we're talking about what happens after we leave an environment that wasn't working for us.

Because sometimes the hardest part isn't walking away.

It's unlearning the version of ourselves we became just to get through it.

And here's the uncomfortable part...

What if the pressure isn't coming from anyone else anymore?

What if we're the ones still enforcing the rules? Ouch...

So here's something to think about:

What are you still carrying that you no longer need to?
