Episode notes

"There is this whole other discomfort that we feel When we are acting outside of what the culture has told us to do," she says. "It doesn't necessarily have to be cultural Expectations, I think it can be anyone's expectations." If you're always doing more than you should at work or taking on extra volunteer positions in your community, those people around you will also experience guilt for not living up to their expectations. But if your value in setting a boundary is 'I'm valuing my time' - and so does your child.

Glennon, Abby, and Amanda help us shed guilt through a freeing reframe inspired by a conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy.

Listen to learn: How to know what is true guilt and what is just the uncomfortable ickiness of defying expectations; how to hold boundaries in order to live shamelessly within our own values; and how to maintain empathy by staying with our own emotions instead of internalizing the emotions of others.

Also, we need your help inventing a word for the “not guilt” feeling!
