Let’s be real - boundaries in motherhood can feel messy. Today, I’m joined by Katy Spratte Joyce, toddler mom, entrepreneur, and owner of The Only Facial Omaha. We’re having an honest, no-BS conversation about what boundaries really mean, why they’re so hard to set (especially as moms who were raised to be “nice”), and how to start protecting your peace - without drowning in guilt. From navigating in-laws to juggling business and babies, Katy shares what’s helped her stay grounded, and we swap tips for saying no without shame. In this episode we cover: What boundaries actually are - and what they aren’t How childhood shapes our relationship with boundaries The signs you’re stretched too thin Why guilt shows up when you try to set limits Scripts and tips for saying no with confidence How to model boundaries for your kids Real talk about disappointing people and doing it anyway Connect with Katy: Follow Katy on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/katysjoyce?igsh=a2FpbWxtZzh6NnBpConnect with Katy on Linked Inhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-spratte-joyce-805b4831Book an Appointment at The Only Facial Omahahttps://www.theonlyfacial.com/locations/omaha-ne/Follow The Only Facial Omaha on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/theonlyfacialomahaigsh=MWhyaGNtdHV0YjBidg== Subscribe + Follow:If this conversation resonated, subscribe so you never miss an episode and I would love if you would rate and review this episode! Omaha Mom Talks - Real moms, authentic conversations, no filter needed. Closing reminder:Boundaries aren’t selfish -  they’re essential.
