Boundaries: Back up, they don’t love you like I love you
“The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefiting from you having none.” - Unknown.
Establishing healthy boundaries is crucial work; work that women need to be proactive about, considering how often they’re encroached upon. Nobody but you can maintain your own boundaries, that’s your work to do, and it requires loving yourself even at the risk of distancing or disappointing others.
Boundaries are the result of self-respect stemming from self-worth, and can only truly be established once we’re aware of our values, making this talk a great follow-up to the Values session.
