224 | Beyond People Pleasing: Setting Sacred Boundaries in Your Business

If you’ve ever found yourself overgiving, undercharging, or hesitating to speak your truth for fear of being “too much” — this episode is for you.

In this vulnerable and empowering conversation, I share a personal story about a difficult boundary I had to set with a client — and how that moment became a catalyst for redefining what boundaries really mean in a soul-led business.

We explore:

• The hidden faces of people-pleasing (hello, “good girl” and “healer” archetypes)
• How the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework helps us lovingly work with the parts that resist boundaries
• The energetic, financial, and spiritual cost of saying yes when we mean no
• Why boundaries are sacred containers, not limitations
• Practical strategies for protecting your time, honoring your worth, and creating aligned client agreements
• A guided practice to connect with the part of you that fears being “too much” — so you can move forward with clarity, compassion, and power

This isn’t just about saying no — it’s about saying YES to your truth, your capacity, and the vision your business is here to hold.

Tune in if you’re ready to lead with more integrity, self-trust, and soul-aligned strength. Your future self will thank you.
