Nobody Taught Us This: The 3 Boundary Types Every Woman Needs to Start Thriving - Sarah Rusbatch
Are you exhausted, resentful and running on empty, but still saying “I’m fine”?
In this solo episode I talk about something most of us were never taught: how to set boundaries. Not the cold, wall-building kind, but boundaries that protect your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing and create more time, more energy and more joy in your life. I break down the three types of boundaries, the six areas of life where you can start setting them right now, and the surprisingly simple ways to begin, even if you’re terrified of disappointing people.
The big ideasKey Takeaways
- 01Boundaries aren’t punishment. They protect your wellbeing and give you back time, energy and joy.
- 02Good girl conditioning taught many of us to abandon ourselves, which is why so many women get stuck in the wrong type of boundary.
- 03Small promises kept to yourself, like a 9:30pm bedtime, rebuild self-trust and confidence.
- 04Over-functioning, your phone, fading friendships and not delegating are all places to start. Pick one boundary this week.
