In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Sheryl Green, the "how to say no" expert, for a conversation about boundaries, including how a lack of boundaries can make you feel stuck and how to set (and uphold!) boundaries in a way that will truly transform your life—and get unstuck in the process.
Tune in to learn about:
- What boundaries really are—and how to both set and uphold them
- Why setting boundaries can feel like a threat
- How a lack of healthy boundaries contributes to burnout, resentment, overwhelm, and stuckness
- Why, when it comes to boundaries, it’s best to start small
- The transformative power of boundaries
Thoughts from the episode:
- "In the beginning, we set boundaries from a place of self-preservation... as we build up those muscles, it becomes an act of self-love."
- "You must accept the fact that you have the right to set boundaries."
- “You cannot approach boundary setting until you have accepted, ’I have value. I am worthwhile, even if I'm not taking care of someone else. And I not only have the right, but I actually have the responsibility to set boundaries.’”
