HOW TO SET AND PRESERVE HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: Website Editor

Chastity Holcomb is a therapist, enneagram coach, and founder of Momfully You Academy, a private online community that teaches moms how to reclaim their identity after kids and love the authentic version of themselves. She is passionate about helping women (who are also mothers) find news ways to connect with themselves and has been featured on Yahoo! and Scary Mommy.


In this episode, we’re talking all about boundaries: what healthy boundaries look like, what the first step to setting (and keeping) boundaries is, and why 

we need to change the narrative and start to think of boundaries as acts of kindness for ourselves and others.


We also get real about how a lack of boundaries can cause so many issues, including resentment towards our partner, and how we can begin to break that cycle to live a more balanced and joyful life.


If you need to be reminded that your wants and needs are worthy of being spoken, heard, and met, this is an episode you definitely won’t want to miss!
