Boundaries don’t push people away, they can actually make relationships closer. Anna Yusim says, “the stronger your boundaries, the closer you can get to somebody.” Have you ever stopped to think about boundaries in that way? I’m sure many of you, myself included, are guilty of thinking if we have stronger boundaries we’ll end up pushing people away. The fear we face of disappointing people or somehow offending them can easily keep us stuck in a space of not honoring ourselves. This episode is for all the strong women (even if you don’t feel strong every day) that need a little more assurance that it’s not only okay to have boundaries, but it’s essential to the health of your relationships and critical for your own mental health. Start standing up for yourself (no one else can) and prioritize you, your needs, and what matters for you to flourish in the life you choose to live. SHOW NOTES: Tip #1 | Communicate Your Boundary [0:34]Tip #2 | Set Boundaries with Those Close to You [5:34]Tip #3 | Know Who’s In Your Corner [14:03]Tip #4 | Get Clear on Your Priorities [18:30]Tip #5 | Separate work from your personal life [22:20]Tip #6 | Stand up for yourself [27:30]Tip #7 | Decide if the boundary is worth breaking [32:15] Follow Anna Yusim: https://www.annayusim.com/Follow Sara Jakes Roberts: https://sarahjakesroberts.com/Follow Chalene Johnson: https://www.chalenejohnson.com/Follow Nicole Lepera: https://theholisticpsychologist.com/Follow Natalie Ellis: https://bossbabe.com/Follow Nedra Glover Tawwab: https://www.nedratawwab.com/Follow Melissa Urban: https://whole30.com/Check out our sponsors: Athletic Greens: Go to https://athleticgreens.com/lisa and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!Blinkist: Go to https://blinkist.com/woi Try it FREE for 7 days and save 25% off your new subscription.FOLLOW LISA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/Twitter: https://twitter.com/lisabilyeuYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/womenofimpactTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lisa_bilyeu?lang=enLISTEN AD FREE + BONUS EPISODES on APPLE PODCASTS: apple.co/womenofimpact Learn more about your ad choices.
