I’m here to share my own journey and the things I’ve learned along the way - from the overwhelming moments to the breakthrough realizations that changed everything.

We all have that special someone in our family that likes to control everyone and everything. Even if they’re well-intentioned, it can be tiring and frustrating to deal with their constant stream of comments. So how do we deal with it? What can we do to stop them from taking all our energy and possibly our enthusiasm? Boundaries. This is where it’s at. When I learned how to set boundaries with controlling family members my life and my self-esteem changed. I felt more empowered to make decisions for myself and stand my ground. So let’s get you empowered too with these simple ideas on how to set boundaries with controlling family members.Links Mentioned In This Episode
