Today we’re exploring the complex and deeply impactful topic of boundaries and having awareness around our people-pleasing tendencies. Ultimately, in letting the fear of change or resistance to ending a relationship get in the way of what’s in most alignment for ourselves, we not only jeopardize our integrity, but we block ourselves from having experiences and relationships that work for the greater good. The conversation kicks off with a discussion around a recent experience I’ve had severing a professional relationship, the fear and resistance that came up in that process, and how I was able to navigate those emotions to ultimately end up at a peaceful resolution. My podcast producer, Bailey, and I also explore how our attachments influence how we think of ourselves, why it can be so challenging to set boundaries with those we have attachments to, how to determine if a partnership is beneficial or harmful overall, and the different ways we can change the dynamic of a relationship to best support our overall well being.
