On this week’s podcast we’re talking all about building trust with yourself. This *internal* work is so important to the work of setting healthy external boundaries. I share with you an example from my own life and walk you through a process of connecting more deeply to what’s actually happening inside of you.

As you connect more deeply to yourself, the boundaries you set with others will flow from a calmer, clearer place within. Here’s what we cover:

1. A promise I made to myself and how it went 

2. What to do when you’re activated by someone or something 

3. The importance of understanding your own areas of wounding 

4. What is a You-Turn? 

5. Meeting & honoring the protective parts of you (before acting out of them) 

6. How to get to the root of your own hurt (before taking action) 

7. Learning to find your voice from that place of clarity deep within
