Struggling with setting boundaries? You're not alone. Many of us feel guilty, obligated, or worried about upsetting others, leading us to say yes when we really want to say no. In this episode, we dive into the discomfort of self-reflection and the importance of honoring our true desires. Learn how to navigate these challenges, avoid resentment, and prevent burnout. Discover how setting healthy boundaries can lead to a more balanced life, benefiting both yourself and those around you.
