When we are uncomfortable setting boundaries, it’s easy to fall into patterns like people-pleasing to make sure everyone else is happy.  However, this becomes the breeding ground for resentment and anger in our lives.

Many of us suffer from our people-pleasing ways. We do it for several reasons: To be accepted and belong, to receive love, and to find validations. We worry that people may not like us, creating a life of self-abandon and resentment.

In this episode, Kim speaks to Krista Resnick about creating boundaries to protect our space and our relationships. It’s great to make other people happy, but it’s more important to please ourselves first by making self-honoring choices.

Here are the things to expect in the episode:

• Are you for yourself, or are you against yourself?
• Establishing boundaries and aligning with your purpose
• Why self-compassion and self-care is essential to your success
• Choosing kindness over judgment
• And much more!

What’s in the episode: 

• How do you know when to set a boundary?
• What fears stop people from setting boundaries?
• How to lean into discomfort.
• Krista’s top 2 tricks for starting to set boundaries in your life. 
• How to quit abandoning yourself for the sake of pleasing others so you can be free.

““Too many times we self-abandon  for the sake of pleasing others?”  

– Krista Resnick
