How to set boundaries without feeling gu...

Keara Callahan
About this episode

If you’ve ever said “yes” when you wanted to say “no,” felt responsible for other people’s reactions, or walked away from a conversation second-guessing yourself then this episode is for you.

We’re diving into the real reason why setting boundaries feels so damn uncomfortable (hint: it’s not because you’re doing it wrong) and how to stop associating boundaries with guilt, fear, or being “too much.”

I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening in your brain and body when you try to protect your peace, how to rewire the stories you’ve been told about being a “good girl,” and why holding your line is one of the most self-loving things you can do.

Because the truth is: the people who are most upset by your boundaries are the ones who benefited from you not having any.
