Episode notes
Set Boundaries Even If They Upset People
- Expect initial upset when you set boundaries; hold steady and relationships improve.
- Joanne described calling her mom shakily, enduring a week without speaking, then gaining a calmer relationship.
Refuse To Own Entire Relationships
- Stop shouldering 100% of relationship ownership; speak your feelings and wait for reciprocal responsibility.
- Joanne now states her feeling, then pauses to see if the other person owns their part before over-explaining.
Use The Lotus Framework For Self Care
- Build a self-care framework with past reflection, habits, and 'unicorn time' to reclaim identity.
- Joanne's Lotus Framework includes mind journaling, body movement, and unicorn time for personal interests.
