Michelle Maros & Barb Schmidt
About this episode

After last week’s episode on peace and acceptance, we decided it would be fun to re-release this early episode discussing being okay with being the villain in someone else’s story. It’s a great conversation to follow up from episode 106! Follow us @MichelleMaros and @Peaceful_Barb and share your experiences with us @BarbKnowsBestPod or at  www.michellemaros.com/podcast.


Episode Notes: 

  • It’s okay to disappoint someone else if you’re standing up for yourself.
  • It’s okay to set boundaries in relationships that aren’t supportive, or loving, or in alignment, because you feel called to do so.
  • It’s okay to speak your truth, even if you know that the people that are listening might not like it.
  • It’s okay to say no.
  • It’s okay to stop communicating with someone because they’re not respecting you or your wishes.
  • It’s okay to not tolerate those parts of your life that drag you down, make you feel less than, or don’t allow you to live your fullest best life.
