Girls Night #233: How to Set Boundaries ...

THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to have less stress and set healthy boundaries during the holidays!  


As this episode is airing, the holidays are right around the corner. I know for a lot of us this means spending more time with our family, which can come with a whole range of emotions. Family dynamics can be complicated and figuring out what to say or what not to say in different scenarios can feel overwhelming. But today’s guest is going to help us work through this!


Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Courtney J Burg. Courtney is a writer and the founder of Discover Your Worth, an online membership designed to support women with practical tools to break free from codependency while establishing a healthy boundary practice. She has a new book coming out on December 12th called, Loyal to a Fault: How to Establish New Patterns When Loving Others Has Left You Hurting.


In this episode she’s helping us work through the common scenarios a lot of us face during the holidays. Scenarios like your Aunt Sharon commenting on your weight or your cousin Joe asking when you’re going to have kids. She’s also teaching us how to set boundaries with difficult family members in a healthy and loving way.


This episode is full of practical tools we can all use to make the holidays, and really any family gathering, as smooth and stress free as possible! I can’t wait for you to hear from her!
