445: How to Set Boundaries without Damaging Relationships // Rachel on Happy Mom Summit

Many moms hesitate to set boundaries because they don’t want to seem selfish or unkind. But what if boundaries are actually one of the most compassionate things you can offer to yourself and to the people you love?

 

In this special episode, I’m sharing an interview I did with JoAnn Crohn of the No Guilt Mom Podcast for her Happy Mom Summit. JoAnn graciously gave permission for me to re-air our conversation here, and I can’t wait for you to listen.

Together, we dive into:

🫶 Why boundaries are actually acts of love, not selfishness

🫶 How to articulate your boundaries in a way that is clear and kind

🫶 What to do when others push back, and how holding your boundaries can strengthen trust in your relationships

If you’ve ever struggled with resentment, exhaustion, or guilt when trying to meet everyone’s needs, this episode will give you practical tools and encouragement to start setting boundaries that feel aligned and compassionate.
