Episode Highlights:
Understanding Boundaries: Many women are conditioned to prioritize others' comfort over their own, leading to difficulties in setting and maintaining boundaries. I discuss how this conditioning impacts your ability to say no and protect your mental health.
Misconceptions about Boundaries: The idea that boundaries are an all-or-nothing approach is a common misconception. I emphasize the importance of finding a balance, likening it to turning walls into gates to allow healthy relationships while keeping unhealthy ones out.
Well-being.
Challenging Societal Norms: Delve into the societal pressures that compel mothers and eldest daughters to prioritize others' needs above their own. Together, we'll challenge the notion that selflessness is a virtue and redefine what it truly means to care for ourselves while still supporting our loved ones.

Three Action Steps to Take:
Self-Reflection: Regularly ask yourself, "Does this support the life I'm trying to create?" and be honest in your assessment.
Slow Down: Take your time when making decisions. Allow yourself to breathe and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Practice Saying No: Start using "no" as a complete sentence. You don't owe anyone an explanation for prioritizing your well-being.
Journaling Prompts:
Why do I believe that other people's comfort is more important than my own?
Why do I feel that self-sacrifice is the only answer?

Conclusion: Creating and maintaining boundaries is essential for your mental and emotional health. As you embrace this process, remember that you have the power to rewrite the rules for yourself. Surround yourself with people who respect your boundaries, and don’t be afraid to let go of those who don’t.
Next week’s episode we're going to be talking about trashing cultural norms. This is going to be a fun one, because this is going to be kind of like part two to this episode of setting and maintaining boundaries.
