Formula to set boundaries and stay in yo...

Maria Fuentes
About this episode

In this episode, I’m diving into a conversation that hits close to home—how to set boundaries without feeling like you’re being too much, or losing yourself in the process. I’ve been the girl who kept quiet, and I’ve been the girl who let her rage take over… neither felt aligned.

Now, I know how to stand my ground without spiraling—and I want that for you too.

We’ll talk about emotional reactions, people-pleasing, and what it actually looks like to speak your truth with softness and strength. Because healing doesn’t mean staying silent. And setting a boundary doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you self-honoring.

In this episode, I share:

✨How to stop betraying yourself for the comfort of others
✨What healthy confrontation actually looks like
✨The truth about people who get angry at your boundaries
✨My go-to emotional regulation practice before speaking up
✨How to release the guilt of “being too much”
✨Why your healing doesn’t mean staying silent
✨How to know if someone deserves a place in your life

This one’s for the woman learning to own her truth, protect her peace, and lead from emotional intelligence—not reactivity.
