Are Sloppy Boundaries Ruling Your Life? The Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast with Danielle A. Vann

When you think of the word “boundaries” what immediately comes to mind? For most people, it’s the word “limit.” But, are all boundaries truly limits? Or is there a better word, a better operation, that we can employ to make boundaries work in our favor once and for all?! There is! And, this week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into shifting our mindset around our inability to hold our boundaries, and how sloppy boundaries impacts us more than we think. In fact, weak boundaries keep us from finding balance, creating ease, and keeps us doing, saying, and feeling things that simple do not work for us! So, let’s shift our perspective, learn to hold space for ourselves, and let’s chat about how boundaries play a crucial role in our identity and HOW TO KEEP OUR BOUNDARIES IN PLACE! Because, we all deserve to have our lives together, girl!
