We emphasize the importance of boundaries as a cornerstone of self-care and self-respect.

Maintaining boundaries consistently is essential. We discuss strategies for dealing with boundary violations and the importance of responding immediately to prevent a pattern from developing.
Join us in this transformative journey as we learn that setting boundaries is not selfish but a form of self-respect. Remember, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries benefits everyone in the long run. Tune in for a deep dive into empowering yourself through the art of boundary setting!
