December 29, 2022

When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. Brené Brown Boundaries. It's a word that gets flung around a lot on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. We're told we need boundaries to avoid burnout, people pleasing and to keep our lives in balance. We have a general idea of what this means, but often there's confusion about what exactly emotional … [Read more...]
