Are you calling it a boundary, but really just avoiding a person or situation? This episode describes three ways people often deal with challenging people or situations. First- I’ve just decided I don’t want this person in my life. Second, I want this person in my life, I want to be able to interact with this person, but I need boundaries for myself. The third is one is to just avoid people/situations because we don’t want to do our own work, and we end up suppressing a lot of emotional turmoil and emotional work that would ultimately benefit us in our lives. Join me to hear the differences between boundaries and avoiding, and an exercise you can work through on your own.

This episode will help you find ways to feel appreciated-- regardless of others. (Hint: Your feelings come from your thinking, not what others say and do.)

Did you grow up hearing (or saying) "don't make mommy mad," or "you made me so sad?" Or some phrase where someone else made you feel a certain way. It's pretty common-- but it's not true and not helpful. Your feelings come from how you interepret words and actions and the same is true for others. You are responsible for how you are feeling-- and that's a good thing. Because you have the ability to shift to different feelings then too. This is a tough concept for people pleasers-- who believe they make others feel a certain way and will turn themselves inside out trying to make others feel a certain way. Listen in for where this comes from, how you can begin owning your feelings and why this is a key awareness for shifting away from people pleasing thinking.
