Episode 67: Boundaries- Why You Should Be Setting Them!
Boundaries isn't just an idea that is trending now or just a catchy buzz word to use. Setting healthy boundaries is a way of living that will set you free, strengthen your relationships and improve your mental health.
Today I talk about the benefits of setting boundaries, what it means to have a boundary and I debunk some of the myths about setting boundaries that make us hesitant to do it.
