How Boundaries can give you more Joy & Connection this Season

Women Rewriting the Rules

It’s the holidays and you know what that means…Time to get your buttons pushed. I mean, if that’s not your experience, that’s AWESOME for you… Really, you should join a raffle or something because you’re definitely one of the lucky ones.

For the rest of us, chances are that this holiday season, we will find ourselves reverting to habits we thought we had already moved past just because of the way our families get under our skin. That’s normal. And that’s where boundaries come into play.

But because the boundaries we set might be counter to our family's expectations, it can be tough to find the balance between being flexible and maintaining healthy boundaries. This holiday season, position yourself for success by listening to this episode.

To celebrate the launch of the Women Rewriting the Rules podcast, we want to pamper you with the BEST holiday giveaway we could think of! Click here to join.
